A second special, Weird Harold, aired on May 4, 1973. The special has a very different style from the later series. Due to time and a tight budget, the animators had to draw directly onto cels with grease pencils and actual images of Philadelphia were used for backgrounds. The music was provided by Herbie Hancock, who later used some of the music he composed on his album Fat Albert Rotunda. Unlike the later Cosby Kids series and specials, it has not been released on DVD. (en)
