>Will it eventually fade into obscurity
You mean it hasn't already? Not too many people have watched the movie these days let alone the cartoon
Today's generation likely only knows of it because of it's relevancy from the past generation that will occasionally bring it up and it's connection to Bill Cosby
Same thing with Little Bill probably

It is already but for black twitter memes.

Hey hey hey I’m not going away

It’s going to fade
It was really known a couple decades ago, but now it’s been a long time since it aired. They can’t reboot it, make merchandise for it, truly reair it, or whatever else because of Cosby. It’s not going to get a new audience because no one will see it or see new things with it, it can’t be a “brand” like some cartoon characters, and the older audience either disassociates with it because of Cosby or will eventually die out
So yeah, it’s a doomed property fully

And before you bring up the movie from SIXTEEN years ago...

Go find some more spicy memes hiding in it.
Henry Wright
i'd look for spicy memes inside that teacher if you know what i mean
Jackson Phillips
if he really raped those hollywood bimbos then I think he's a swell guy
the only thing that bothers me is that he didn't strangle them and throw their asses into a dumpster behind dennys
Jacob Ross
It’ll remain a somewhat culturally relevant show due to its nature being one of the first black animated shows but it’s not gonna get much of a new audience from black people or white people.
Angel Flores
not...

You guys realize black people are on Cosby's side right? If people completely forget about it, it won't be because of him.
William Thompson
>You guys realize black people are on Cosby's side right?
Older black people, maybe. Cosby has pissed off tons of black people in recent years by doing public appearances where he pulled the "pull up your pants and stop with the hip hop dancing" rhetoric that pissed off younger and middle class black people.

That's a good message for any human being.

While I won't say it's bad advice, a lot of black people get pissed when respectability politics are lobbed against them, especially by older wealthy black men. There are a lot of black people who still haven't forgiven Obama for calling the rioters in Baltimore "thugs"
Samuel Roberts
Fat Albert is too surreal to not pick at it for memes. But its never getting a genuine revival, we saw the rare instance of a series completely dying.

William Howard
I never say never. I can see someone buying the rights and reviving it but washing any Cosbyness from the show.
Sure, some SJWs on Twitter would seethe for a week or so but Fat Albert isn't necessarily hard to distance from Cosby as it would be to distance the Cosby Show from Cosby.
Bentley Roberts
Fat Albert is more relevant than ever.
Ethan Cruz
You do realize it's a literal parody of offensive tropes about black people who had to live in the projects (governmental housing in shit neighborhoods) and Cosby created the damn thing there is zero point to reviving such a toxic brand. I am sorry your childhood show got painted with piss by time.

>fade into obscurity?
Outside Of Trannie Twitter,
Nah, it'll be like Michael jackson or R.Kelly's I believe I can Fly" it'll be out there but not something explored deep.
Jack Jenkins
>You guys realize black people are on Cosby's side right?
No they are not, in fact, black people are more unforgiving with there Starts than whites, Michael Jackson is a classic case, most had disowned him as a black Star by 1987, hence by he kept on the "I'm black and I'm proud soup box in the 1990s.

Not as long as Kingdom Hearts is fucking gay

It was kind of shit to begin with
Too many characters in the main crew, what the hell was Weird Harold bringing to the table.

Erm...okay?

It will live on forever, along with the rest of Dr. Cosby's brilliant contributions.
The reaction images could keep it alive by themselves.
