Lying

Strangely enough, the pilot episode of Fat Albert, "Lying", actually has very little to do with Fat Albert individually, but with the whole Junkyard Band's reactions toward the stories told to them by Edward. Unlike later episodes, there are two musical numbers present in place of the usual one song. This episode seemed to convince the writer's to change themes, since the gang is a lot less malicious towards those not in their group by the second episode. The resolution doesn't come from circumstance showing the character their faults, but rather the Junkyard Band forcing Edward into increasingly dangerous situations to the point where he admits his lies.
