I've been watching this show a lot lately via DVD. This show has got to be one of the greatest shows of all time. I can't wait until the rest of the seasons get released, hopefully soon. Some channel should pick this show back up and show reruns or maybe their already is a channel that does still show reruns of this show that I don't know of. Diff'rent Strokes is awesome. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis? :)
Im pretty surethis used to be on Nick at Night...now its just Full House
i agree, diff'rent strokes is a quality show.

I haven't seen that show since I was a kid. If I remember correctly, there were a few eps that were real serious. Like the one were that girl had an epileptic seizure. 80's shows weren't afraid to hit the viewer with real life issues.
It was never on Nick at Nite as far as I know.

I really liked watching this show when it was on Nick@Nite. I haven't seen it since it was taken off.

That was the show that really started child actors having issues... From Willis in jail to Dana in porn.
Yeah I remember when it was on Nick at Nite along with The Facts of Life. It was a great lineup. I don't know why they stopped showing them, hopefully they start again or some other channel picks it up, it's one of the greatest shows ever in my opinion.

Actually, Diff'rent Strokes did deal with "serious" issues . . . though some seem a bit stretched in retrospect . . . Dudley and the pedophile, Dudley's dad addicted to smoking . . . Damn, Dudley was always the fall guy . . . the mime that has an epileptic seizure, the discovery that Mr. Drummond's family made money from the slave trade . . . I still don't know if I like the 80s obsession with African-American kids being "saved" by well to do white people "see Webster" . . .
