Flatbush is an American sitcom that aired on CBS for three weeks from February 26, 1979 to March 12, 1979.
The series followed five recent high school graduates living in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn: Presto, a cab driver; Socks, who worked in a clothing store; Figgy, a supermarket deliveryman; Joey, a plumber; and Turtle, who worked in his family's restaurant. Together they called themselves "The Fungos" as they roamed their neighborhood in search of innocent fun and excitement.
A total of six episodes were produced, with three remaining unaired – "The Littlest Fungo", "The Wedding" and "Vooo Dooo" – because the ethnic stereotypes in the series so offended the real-life Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden that he publicly demanded to CBS that it be canceled; it was taken off the air after only three telecasts.
