    • Quotes

      [intro to every "Brown Hornet" episode]

      Television Announcer: It's not a bird! It's not a bee! It's the BROWN HORNET...! Last time, as you recall, we left our hero the Brown Hornet and his trusty pal Stinger hopelessly trapped...! Using the Brown Hornet's superpowers, they naturally escaped unharmed! Now we pick up with our heroes as they face an even worse threat...!

    nah nah nah gonna have a good time

    This is the quintessential animated show of all times. Bill Cosby has masterfully created an amazing show complete with an array of vocally diverse characters.

    Hey Hey Hey, Its Fat Albert time !!!!

    We must petition Bill Cosby to release this series on videotape or at least on The Cartoon Network...It has been at least 15 years since this animated masterpiece was in syndication.
