Diff'rent Strokes | comment |
A proper white man adopts two street-wise black boys. Hilarity Ensues.Diff'rent Strokes (1978–86) made a star of Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson, the younger of the two boys. Todd Bridges was his older brother Willis and Conrad Bain was the proper white man, Phillip Drummond. As one of NBC's few late-'70s hits, it quickly launched a spinoff in The Facts of Life the following year. First Lady Nancy Reagan made a guest appearance in a Very Special Episode about drug abuse, and ABC's Webster was a Follow the Leader rival. Ironically, Diff'rent Strokes itself actually moved to ABC when it got canceled by NBC. The theme was co-written and performed by Alan Thicke.Unfortunately, this show is best remembered now both for its special episodes and the unhappy fates of its three child stars (Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges, and Dana Plato, who played Mr. Drummond's daughter). As of 2024, Todd Bridges is the last surviving original cast member of the show, (Danny Cooksey and semi-regular Shavar Ross joined later, and have avoided the fates of their older co-stars), but it's such stories that the Former Child Star trope is built upon. Gary Coleman's is parodied in the musical Avenue Q. | |

Picnic Episode | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_1618ca18 | comment |
Picnic Episode: Darkly portrayed in Season 6's "The Hitchhikers" (the episode where Kimberly and Arnold accept a ride from a stranger named Bill). While the two are held hostage, Bill – a serial kidnapper and rapist, as alluded to in the episode's closing scene – tries to get Kimberly to be his girlfriend, and to set the mood brings out a picnic basket and blanket and says that's what they're going to do ... . | |

Diff'rent Strokes / int_177ecc0f | comment |
Unexpected Positive: In one episode, Mr. Drummond purchased a device that measured stress on his doctor's advice. Sure enough, his rating was high, but when the kids goofed around with it, Willis' was off the chart (he was coping with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, running for class office, etc). | |

Diff'rent Strokes / int_19cc20f3 | comment |
One-Person Birthday Party: Zig-zagged. Everyone comes to Sam's birthday party in "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want To", but they're more interested in hanging out with the celebrity guest than in playing with Sam. So he goes to the Hamburger Hangar to celebrate by himself. Later, everyone from the party comes by with the cake to celebrate with him. Also played straight with Sam's friend, whose competing party had no guests because they all went to Sam's. | |

Wrong-Name Outburst | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_1c96f945 | comment |
Wrong-Name Outburst: In the season four episode "Double Date", Phillip suggests that Willis accompany Arnold on his first date since Arnold is too young to date by himself. Before Willis exhausts all options in finding a date, leading to Phillip's suggestion that he take Kimberly out instead, Willis tells Arnold the reason why he's looking for a date with another girl is that he called his girlfriend Charlene the wrong name. Coincidentally, Charlene was played during that season by a Janet: Janet Jackson. When Sam's kidnapper brings him to his house, his wife almost immediately slips up and calls him by the name of her dead son (the man kidnapped Sam in order to replace the boy and alleviate his family's grief). | |

May–December Romance | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_234fa9ba | comment |
May–December Romance: The impression the producers initially wanted to avoid when hiring an actress to play Maggie McKinney, the woman that Mr. Drummond would eventually marry. (Conrad Bain was born in 1923, seven years prior to his character, Philip Drummond; the initial leading contender to play Maggie, Mary Ann Mobley, was born in 1939.) However, the first Maggie – Dixie Carter – was also born in 1939, and when she left the series at the end of the 1984-1985 season to play Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women, Mobley was given a second look and eventually hired. note She appeared in about half of the Season 8 episodes. Mrs. Garrett dates a younger man in the second season episode "Mrs. Garrett's Romance". For that matter, most of Drummond's romances fall into this category. | |

All Gays Are Pedophiles: Referenced and debunked in "The Bicycle Man" episode. In the Very Special Episode's final scene — one where the police detective basically answers common questions, as posed by the Drummonds — Willis remarks that Mr. Horton (the seemingly genial bicycle shop owner with the sinister secret) must be a homosexual, which the detective refutes quickly. | |

Foster Kid: Averted with Arnold and Willis, which Willis points out to both Sam and a foster kid named Kurt in one of the final episodes of the series. Kurt — with whom Sam had gotten into a fight at the Hamburger Hangar early in the episode — had never had a stable family, always having to leave after a year, and was living in a group home at the time of the events of this episode. When Sam continues to balk about Kurt, Willis explains that had Mr. Drummond not taken him and Arnold in and adopted them, this would have likely been their fate. | |

New Parent Nomenclature Problem: When Willis and Arnold start living with the man who eventually adopts them, they call him Mr. Drummond. They eventually ask his permission to call him Dad, which he gives (even before he officially adopts them). They explicitly do not call him Papa, which was their name for their biological father. With Sam, who – unlike most stepchildren who refer to their step-parents by their first name – he continues to refer to Mr. Drummond as "Mr. D". Arnold and Willis continue to refer to Maggie by her first name; the only one that ever gets a variant of mom is Lucy Jackson ("Mama"). | |

Repressed Memories: Willis experiences this in “The Tutor�, which his tutor, Danny (who uses humor and other unusual methods to help his students learn), picks up on as a trauma-induced mental block that keeps Willis from being able to recall historical events that happened in 1975 (the year in which Willis and Arnold’s father died). That, plus the fact that Danny’s methods help Willis improve in school, change Phillip’s mind about firing Danny, having questioned his learning methods. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Conrad Bain seems to act more like his character Arthur Harmon from Maude in the first few episodes. Given that he doesn’t debut until season two, the first season is the only one not to feature Arnold’s friend Dudley. The first episodes had a still shot from a single scene, with a cold ending of the main theme. Later episodes had a montage of stills (or video clips, depending on the season) and the theme feeatured singer Alan Thicke ending with a "hmmmmmmmm... ." When Lisa was first introduced in season 5, she and Arnold and Dudley were very friendly toward each other (Arnold even tried to help Dudley ask Lisa out, which would NEVER have happened in later episodes). As time went on, she and Arnold were much more antagonistic, and she treated his friends with contempt. | |

Smoking Is Cool | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_596f675a | comment |
Smoking Is Cool: In "The Girls' School" episode, the character Blair (the snobby rich girl, played by Lisa Welchel) can be seen puffing on a cigarette; this character trait would be dropped (Welchel is a non-smoker) by the time The Facts of Life made it to series. Twisted around in a 1984 episode, where Arnold and his buddy, Dudley, experiment with smoking cigarettes. They get a graphic lesson when Dudley's father reveals he is a chronic smoker and needs a lung operation; the fade-to-black scene showed the man lighting up in the hallway, just after leaving the Drummonds' apartment. | |

Baby Be Mine: An older child version in "Sam's Missing," where a father wrought with grief over the recent death of his son (who was Sam's age, and nearly exactly resembled Sam), kidnaps him, passes him off as a street urchin and is determined to make him a part of the family, even if Sam doesn't want to. | |

Replacement Goldfish: Literally. Arnold's beloved goldfish Abraham dies, so the family tries to hide it from him until they can get a replacement. When Arnold becomes suspicious and happens to notice Mr. Drummond's will, he jumps to the wrong conclusion and thinks that Mr. Drummond is dying. Arnold notices that the new goldfish "isn't Abraham!" Sam's kidnapper is trying to make him this to his deceased son. To make matters worse, Sam apparently does resembles the other boy. | |

Willis protests that he should spank Arnold because he's a blood relative, and the only people to ever spank them were their deceased parents. Much to Arnold's shock, Willis actually does it, but he's not particularly thrilled about it. | |

In the end, after Arnold confronts his friend about it, Ricky admits he's addicted and gets help, while Arnold's name and record are cleared. | |

High-School Hustler: Season 8's "Arnold's Tangled Web" saw an adult version who exploited teenagers for his profit. The man, known as Spider, would – in exchange for a fee – forge report cards and pose as school officials to help them get out of scrapes. However, Spider made the mistake of crossing Mr. Drummond when he posed as a guidance counselor at Arnold's school, and Drummond set a trap to expose him to Arnold as a liar and scam artist. Drummond then warns Spider that he can expect the police to be called if he's ever known to be engaging in fraudulent activities again. | |

Dude, Not Funny! | |
Diff'rent Strokes / int_cdd835ce | comment |
Dude, Not Funny!: In-universe in "A Special Friend." After witnessing the seizure, Arnold and Sam try to make sense of the situation by making some very cruel "milkshake" jokes about people like their friend ... until Pearl overhears the laughter and begins scolding them, telling them that she's heard those same cruel jokes to mock her. Y'see, Pearl also suffered from epilepsy, has suffered several seizures in her life (including a Grand Mal, the most severe) and, as she explains, she's just like everyone else ... and has medication to help keep her health condition under control. Arnold and Sam are even more confused, but Pearl tells them if they have something that frightens or concerns them, talk to their father/Mr. D or Pearl and they can help provide the facts. (Incidentally later, Pearl is relating her chat with Arnold and Sam to Mr. Drummond and Willis, and Willis nonchalantly makes reference to the milkshake joke without admonition from Pearl (although he does get a "Willis" look from Mr. D)). | |

The bullies even beat up Willis, who intervenes for Arnold and Dudley, so badly that he has to be hospitalized! | |

Of the three housekeepers, Mrs. Garrett was the only one who wasn't regularly addressed by her first name (even by Mr. Drummond). | |

The Talk: Drummond has already educated Arnold about "The Birds And The Bees", but he needs to give a new version when the kids come home early from a camping trip and catch him and his current girlfriend together—it's early in the morning and she's only wearing a nightgown, making it very obvious, even to the young Arnold, what's transpired. He also gives one to Willis in "Growing Up" when he admits that he's seriously contemplating having sex with his girlfriend. | |

Diff'rent Strokes / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Phil, in several of the most memorable episodes where either his own children or close friends of his children were in deep trouble. He once stopped a child sex fiend from making his move literally seconds before he was going to touch a sedated Dudley. Another time, he arrived in time to interrupt a sociopath from raping Kimberly, and a year later he saved Sam from a family who was trying to adopt a "Street Urchin" to replace their son who died in an accident months earlier. The moral of that all was that’s Big Damn Hero isn’t always an action movie star or superhero. | |

Attempted Rape: In "The Hitchhikers", Arnold and Kimberly accept a ride in a car from a stranger. He takes them back to his apartment and locks Arnold in another room while he takes Kimberly to his darkroom; their father and the police arrive Just in Time. And then there was the child molester who ran the bike shop, and convinced Arnold and his friend to come back into his house for ice cream and shirtless wrestling. In another episode, Kimberly has to fend off her lecherous boss and finally does so by spraying him with ketchup. Another employee snidely comments "Again?", thus revealing that this isn't the first time he's done this. | |
