At Zhou's home, he saw his mom watching an old cartoon, "What is this?" Zhou asked.

"This was one of my favorite kid show as a child" Jamie replied, "Fat Albert. Bill Cosby created a show that helps children overcome their difficulties."

"Really?" Zhou replied,

"I did" Jamie answered, "Well, I watched the single mother episode. It helped me overcome me raising you."

Zhou started to feel upset, "Is there a problem?" Jamie asked.

"This Wednesday is National Parents Day at the community center" Zhou explained to his mother, "And I need my father for the festivities, my REAL father."

"But you still have, Adam," Jamie replied.

"It's not the same!" Zhou growled.

Then they heard a beeper, "That must be the brownies." Jamie recalled, "You watch some Fat Albert while I take care of the brownies.

On TV, Albert was trying to help a girl named, "Danielle" who is running away due to some school trouble. The boys tried to help her, but nothing work.

In the real world, Zhou sheds a tear, creating a portal in the TV world. Albert decided to check it out while Rudy, Dumb Donald, Weird Harold, Bucky, and Mushmouth followed him for safety, "Russell, stay here." Billy said as he jumped through the portal.

Zhou freaked out when he saw the characters jump out of the TV. The 7 boys rushed into his room to check things out. Zhou caught up with them and stopped them from breaking his stuff. He looked at his watch, realizing that Fat Albert might be over, since that's how cartoons usually run, "You'll have to wait till tomorrow for your show to come on." Zhou said.

"How come?" Albert asked.

"If my parents see you guys." Zhou said, "She'll ground me for life."

His house wasn't big enough to hold his whole family, then he got an idea, "I'm going over to Payton's" Zhou shouted as he took the 7 cartoon characters outside of their home.

At Saunders Mansion, Zhou explained everything to Payton, "Whoa," Payton said, "That's weird Zhou."

"I know" Zhou replied, "I need to get them back in TV Land as soon as possible. Sometimes when characters live in the human world, they fade out of existence and if they fade, no more Fat Albert."

"Bill Cosby is not going to like this," Albert said.
