Flatbush is an American sitcom that aired on CBS for three weeks from February 26, 1979, to March 12, 1979. The original working title was The Flatbush Fungoes.[1]
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.
