"Diff'rent Strokes" was hilarious. More specifically, Gary Coleman as Arnold was hilarious.
Arnold was the glue that held Willis (Todd Bridges) in place and held the show as a whole together. You always knew if Willis was off the mark with his schemes when Arnold said, "Whatchu talkin' 'bout Willis?"
Classic.
"Diff'rent Strokes" would broach some serious topics at times like child pornography, bulimia, bullying, and other issues. Even Willis and Arnold being cared for by Mr. Drummond (Conrad Bain) was a serious issue.
I think when the show added Sam (Danny Cooksey) is when it was a sign that the show was running out of steam. Like so many shows with child actors, you can only go so long.
