You know, I didn’t remember the riveting plotine for the Fat Albert Halloween special at first, but now that you’ve laid it out so nicely for us, DH, it all comes flooding back. Good times.

Aaaaand the memories come flooding back, thank you.

Man, that plot has been borrowed a thousand times since then.

I was never big into Fat Albert, but I used to watch this special whenever it was on.

It’s a morality play (weren’t all FA’s morality plays?) about not judging people. There’s an old woman who lives on the hill, and nobody wants to trick or treat at her house b/c word on the street is that she’s a witch. Somehow, Rudy ends up going, and it turns out – surprise! – she’s a nice old lady who makes cookies. He’s in her house so long chatting, the gang thinks he’s in trouble. When they go to resucue him, they learn their lesson of tolerance and I think they all clean her house or something. No sexual euphemism intended there.

I remember the best part being the low-tech ghetto costumes the gang comes up with.
