Here's my logic about what the set contains...
The wording in the description specifically says "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" and doesn't mention the "New Fat Albert Show" (7 eps) at all, so I'm guessing they aren't included here. I could of course be wrong.
As for the runtime, each 30-min episode isn't really 30-minutes. You have to subtract the commercials and are left with usually about 20-25 minutes (depends on the series). I guessed 20 minutes because the math works out to include all 36 eps from the "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" run, making a nice "Ultimate Collection" as the description says. On the flip side, if each episode is 24 minutes, then the set could simply be a repackaging of the 3-ep Time Life volumes... making 30 eps in the set.
All of this is just a guesstimate though... until an episode list is obtained, there's just no way to know what set might include.
