Episode Question


I seem to have a memory of a certain Fat Albert episode from my childhood but can't find it on any episode list. The episode involved a friend of the gang who has this swelling on his neck and tries to keep it hidden from his parents. The gang tries to convince him to tell his parents but he's convinced that he doesn't need to and it will go away in a few days. The parents eventually find out and he is hospitalized. Fat Albert mentions to the gang that their friend has cancer but it turns out to be an exaggeration. Anybody remember this episode or know its name?

You have just mentioned what is in my opinion the "shark-jumping" episode of this show. Fat Albert kept on repeatedly telling the guy he should have that checked out because it might be Hodgkin's Disease. About this time, the show was turning into "Medical Center" and not getting funny anymore. I don't know what happened at the end because I stopped paying attention, I was getting so numbed by this episode. Did he have Hodgkin's Disease or what? I thought Fat Albert was being a worry-wart about the whole thing myself.

Does anybody know the title and/or airdate of the episode?
