More than just a ratings hit for NBC, the Norman Lear/Bud Yorkin-produced Diff'rent Strokes
was a pop-culture phenomenon, thanks largely to the
wise-beyond-his-years performance of star Gary Coleman. And while the
show has languished of late in syndication in a heavily edited form,
Columbia's first-season set amends that situation by packaging all 24
uncut episodes on a three-disc set with some interesting extras.
Launched in November 1978 as a mid-season replacement for the failed
Joe Namath series The Waverly Wonders, Diff'rent Strokes
vaulted to no. 27 in the Nielsen ratings; audiences responded to the
warmth and humorous culture clash between wealthy Philip Drummond (Lear
vet Conrad Bain) and Arnold and Willis (Coleman and Todd Bridges), the
sons of his late housekeeper whom he adopted. Though Bain, Bridges,
Dana Plato (as Bain's daughter), and Charlotte Rae (as housekeeper Mrs.
Garrett) all delivered solid performances, it was Coleman's charm, his
timing, and most of all, his catch phrase "Whatchoo talkin' bout?" that
drew in viewers. The 1st season set includes 3 dvds in good condition and they play great!! The 8th season set includes 3 dvds in good condition and they play great!! Disc 1: Episodes 1-8, Disc 2: Episodes 9-17. Disc 3: Episodes 18-24. Remember the holidays are around the corner. This would make a nice gift. Email me with questions. Happy Bidding!!!! |
