Diff'rent Strokes: The Complete First Season
Starring: Gary Colemen, Todd Bridges, Dana Plato, Conrad Bain, Charlotte Rae
Director: Herbert Kenwith
"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?"
When pint-sized Gary Coleman uttered that phrase to his TV brother, played by Todd Bridges,
audiences were hooked and a star was born. But the show's popularity was based on more than
the rise of the diminutive, wisecracking Coleman. DIFF'RENT STROKES a pop culture phenomenon
that broke through cultural barriers was well.
The story of two African-American kids from Harlem who move to Park Avenue to live with a wealthy
white widower (Conrad Bain) and his precocious teenage daughter (Dana Plato) not only gave audiences
lots to laugh about but gave them something to talk about. Along with their no-nonsense housekeeper
(Charlotte Rae), this group was anything but average - but they reflected the changing face of the American
family and brought issues of race and class into households across the nation.
Finally available on DVD, this three disc set collects all twenty-four episodes from the hilarious first season.
Now you can experience all of the fun of DIFF'RENT STROKES again!
Price: $29.99 [DVD - 3 disc set]
