@Classic TV Rewind I could swear there is a scene near the ending of this episode which is now missing and takes place the morning after where Willis vanishes and Mr. Drummond, Misses Garrett, Kimberely and Arnold are looking for him? And that is why Mr. Drummond is so surprised to see or find Willis in the bathtub?🤔📺🤨🤷

Thanks
Hi
Y r u removing my comments
Who else is here because they’re fed up with todays trash tv and needs this nostalgia
Yep. This show was dope.
Me, I love tv shows from the 60's and 70's.
Yup
My childhood drama Webster 😍
✌🏿😩 was just watching Good Times.
Todd and Gary should have won Emmys! Best child actors ever!
I think they did, didn't they?
Todd Bridges said he spoke to Conrad Bain the day before he died at 89. What a relationship to keep in touch with him after all those years since the show was over ❤️🙏🏼
Can't believe Todd Bridges is the only surviving cast member. Great show. Loved it.
Interesting..
Gary Coleman was a child prodigy! His presence, confidence and comedic timing is genius in a child's body! RIP Gary. 😥
He was already an adult by this show I believe. I think he was 19
@@zararobnett8284 Different Strokes first episode date: November 3, 1978. Gary Coleman birth date: February 8, 1968. On the date of the first episode Gary was just over 10.5 years old. He was a child.
@@zararobnett8284 19?? hahahaha 🤣
@@zararobnett8284 Too funny. But wrong.
I agree. How on earth did he do it? Such a natural.
Oh my God, this serial was so loved in India in 1983-84. Sweet memories Love from India
Was it telecasted on Doordarshan?
You are right...this serial used to come on Sunday on Doordarshan ...i have so much of memory
attached to this.
Agreed
so much nostalgia!
I loved it when I saw it in the late 90s.
God bless Mr. Drummond. If more people like him were in our society, things would be much better.
Todd Bridges said that Conrad Bain was much like his character in the show. He said Conrad was more of a father to him than his own father. What a legend.
@@Kaboomboo he sure did say that on and off film he was his dad felt just like his dad
If more people were like Phillip Drummond, Mike Brady, Ward Cleaver, Danny Tanner, Uncle Phil, Carl Winslow, or Paul Hennessey, the world would indeed be a different place, filled with so much love and understanding.
@@chrisfinch8637 and don't forget Fred Rogers
Yeah they turned out great
No matter how much negativity was going on around me back then, we had shows like this that helped me escape,the reality of what the world was going through……
We realize that in this current society, we need many Mr Drummonds
“She better not mess with me, or else I’ll reach up and belt her in the knee” 😂 Gary Coleman came out the gate swinging this show broke barriers back in the 80s, fantastic sitcom
People underestimate the impact which this show had on culture. I watched this while living in apartheid South Africa, and many people, black and white started to believe in different possibilities.
@@fairplayer7435: They actually allowed this to be broadcast? Huh.
Absolutely, Gary stole every scene. A star from day one.
Agreed
@@Marbles471 Why not? It was a great show! The facts of life was also a spin off from this series.
One of my all time childhood favorite television sitcoms!
Same.
That's so true
@@Metalcomedienne which year it was first aired??
@@vickyvicky2734 1978 I think
@@spaceturtle8889 means now this child artist is in his 50's... What is his name...🙏🙏
Mr. Drummond was such a great dad ♥️ RIP Conrad Bain
He was such a good character. A very good father and overall person. And he played the straight character perfectly on this show, allowing Gary Coleman to say all his lines.
Him and Uncle Phil were the best TV dads. :)
He kept good on his word to Mother Jackson
RIP, Conrad Bain, Charlette Rae, Gary Coleman, And Dana Plato, I remember watching this show in reruns, It's a good show.
So sad Willis is the only one living from the orignal cast😥
I know it is sad.
I see here in brazil too..
@@jibrildsalami9944 What about the actors who played Dudley, Robby, Sam & Lisa? I believe they’re still living.
@@mischiefmakerstudios9900 They’re still around. However, they’re recurring characters.
It is sad to watch this knowing everyone has passed away except for Todd Bridges. I loved this show growing up, I thought the lesson was very valuable and showing kindness no matter what the person's skin color was. If we had more shows like this today there would probably be better people in the world.
Singer Alan Thicke Robin Thicke Daddy.
Damn, you're right. Such a wholesome show with such a checkered history. I feel the worst for Gary Coleman. He was so good and so iconic that he couldn't shake the Arnold character. Dana Plato's life was sad too.
many kids from the 70s and 80s were abused from their coworkers or even their own family (exploitation for the money that made parents rich).Put drugs into that mix and their lives went into a crazy down spiral.
It’s amazing how well Gary Coleman delivered those lines.
Tv doesn’t change people
The way he kisses them at the end seems so genuine and doesn't even feel it was acting ❤
He was a genuine positive person.. if only it could be everywhere.. strange feeling i' m so happy and so sad by the same time
Yes, Todd Bridges has said several times that Conrad Bain was more of a father to him than his real father
O boy I got wet
All of the people in the opening-scene are gone now, except for Todd Bridges. This show was a phenomenon almost instantly & will always have a special-place in my heart. ☮️
I feel sad that almost all of them are long gone this is the bitter truth of our life on earth. Mortality
Agreed
@@raymondnkamugisha8887 Reconnect to Life through Jesus. Repent of your sins and believe in Him. You cannot lose out when you do.
And in the beginning everyone thought with his crack problem he would be the first to pass away
@@BLEACH366they thought wrong
I’m only 9 minutes in and I started crying . Never fully watched a episode before . I only know Gary Coleman’s famous “whatchu talkin bout Willis” lol . I’m in tears because how hilarious this is and how much HISTORY this holds! I love it! God bless the entire cast and the Writers & stage crew ♥️
Me and you both ❤️!! I grew up watching this. Real memories
Today's sitcoms cannot be compared to these phenomenal classics!
Arnold's comeback to the black goldfish was just superb around 4.35.
You witnessed the birth of a legend...Gary Coleman (RIP)
He carried this show
Very true! If they had the same premise, keep everyone cept Gary Coleman and it would’ve sucked. The earlier episodes are my favorites. Gary was special and a rare talent. The world just fell in love with him.
@@ghanasoul5:09 "What she smokin'?" hahaha
I'll never get sick of the opening theme. R.I.P. Alan Thicke
Alan Thicke?! The dad from 'Growing Pains' wrote the theme song for Different Strokes?
@@saejinlee6304 Yes he and his wife wrote it and.he performed it.
Awesome theme song!!
@@jonstefanik9400I think they both wrote and she sang the theme song to Facts of Life
Glad Arnold had to put Willis in check. He was just too proud.
I like when Arnold says: You'd better check your smella fella.
i can understand how scared willis is being in an environment that is extremely different than where he Came from
Yes, and he's still grieving the loss of his mom 😞
Different time
Willis was older than Arnold was. He was grieving over his parents and put into an unfamiliar environment.
I was born in '87, so this show was before my time. But I watched the reruns on Nick @ Night all the time in the early 2000s.
I never missed an episode... such a great series!
My favorite show of all time. They have all the episodes on the Roku channel.
@@Ranbutch75 that's great!!! going to go watch RN!
My show growing up - started watching this when I was 6, 1983, now it's 2023 and I'm 46 now... I miss the theme song too.. This series is one of my favorite
Love from India❤❤❤
💯
Maaaan they don’t make good shows like this anymore. First couple lines had me smiling. The acting was so authentic
I always loved how they would throw lil jabs n mr.drummond didn't mind cause he understood the boys went through alot n he understood he was from a different world vs where the boys were from
This show would never air today. Sad.. because this show broke many barriers and made history.
Why not ?
@@daveyboy_ because conservatives will call it woke because diversity is wrong to them or such nonsense.
@@daveyboy_, because the "Woke-ites" would be all over the place losing their minds over every little detail.
It does air today. Im assuming you mean made….
@@waynedexter Yeah.. "air in first run" I mean.
Late 70’s to early 80’s was peak sitcom production
The 90s was great also
R.I.P to everybody but Willis
aww, this is my father's favorite childhood show. now i'm watching it and having a laugh with his grandson. this show is timeless
Was born in 1980, I mean.... Was so blessed watching these shows. Best times and Best childhood ever!!
So the show had already been running for 2 years before you were even born...your the only baby that I know that watched different strokes lol 😂
Here in Puerto Rico that comedy was very succesfull in the 80s great memories
St.Croix Your Neighbor 🎉
I never understood the halarious sarcasm in this show until I got older lol
It took little Arnold to talk some sense into Willis for him to come around. Willis was so negative half of the episode.🙄 Love the pilot.💜
Because Willis knew that it's a different life and didn't think he could adjust to it.
@@jonstefanik9400 He was probably still grieving his mother. He was going through a big loss and a big change.
At 21:23 one can see the scar of Gary Coleman's kidney transplant. He was just 5 and the kidney did not take. Poor boy suffered so much, I hope he rest in piece now.
Such an iconic series with a great message that is lost on today audiences
Willis' comebacks are pretty funny in this episode.
I love this show growing up.
Most of all I love Mr. Drummond. ❤️
Imagine there were Mr Drummonds in the real life like him...the world would be angelic.
I think that person’s name is Mr Beast
This show was phenomenal. Gary Coleman was hilarious.
Man I remember my childhood when I was so young and all my family members still alive 🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
😭😭😭😭😭 me too
I miss old shows like this I grew up in the 80's.
Todd Bridges is the last living member of 'Diff'rent Strokes. Crazy when you think about it. I remember watching this episode for the first time like it was yesterday.
Is Janet Jackson dead.
Obviously they're referring to the original and regular cast members 🙄
@@ScratchyBaws no
Todd Bridges, Danny Cooksey, and Mary Jo Catlett are the only 3 living.
I was recently watching the reruns on TV of the first 3 seasons and was so impressed by the young actors Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges. I was a teenager when this first aired and liked Different Strokes until it had all those "special episodes." Dana Plato was also good, and glad they showcased her more after the 1st few episodes. So sad what happened to Gary and Dana.
Notice at the end of the episode how Mr. Drummond gets the handshake down with Willis. 👍
I guess he practiced during his free time
Shows from the 70s and 80s and 90s are the best!!!!
More like the 60s 70s and 80s.
More like the 60s 70s and 80s.
Remembering my childhood,very nostalgic
Dang! Mrs. Garrett is sassy straight away! Love it!😅
She was in Facts of Life I just recognized her she already died
Rui Bento I'm heartbroken😥
"Mrs Garrett! Are you passin'?"
"No, only my hair is bleached"
I wonder how many people get that.
I don't what the joke?
@@peteraddison8323 white passing. only hair bleached. not skin
I laughed out loud, it was a good one!
All the years I watch this I never caught that joke before.
I Don't Get The Joke. Explain Please @Joe
The last minute of the show 🥺 I'm not crying, you're crying 😢 Such a beautiful, heartfelt moment! 🥰
Yes it was touching. Arnold had to speak to Willis in a way that grabbed at his inner soul. He mentioned their momma and how much she wanted Mr. Drummond to be their for the boys
I have to admit that I missed the very first episode of this brilliant show....Arnold is so intelligent!! I enjoyed watching this.
One of the Greatest TV shows ever
arnold got good lines and delivered them like a boss
😁🙏❤️ thank you. It’s insane how one episode from your childhood can take you away for a moment, back when. ❤️
I know. Its very sad TV will never be this wholesome again
Back in the day when TV was normal!
If I were the housekeeper, I'd be pretty disturbed when a pony stepped into the room. _And exactly _*_who_*_ is supposed to clean up after that thing?_ 😆
And/or that it is also more slavery, again and by rpe and animal abuse by the same and/or more WS?
I cried because I could not help to think how the kids turned out. I loved this cast.
What a wholesome and heartwarming first episode
This aired a year before I was born and went off air when I was 6 . I remember watching this on Nick @ Nite when I was a teenager . Such a great show .
I miss Nick at Nite 😢
@@jenniferhansen3622
Need to bring it back. Today's youth programming barks outside of preschool stuff.
I do not remember this on Nick, but I remember the Sweathogs being on it.
@@holyexperience1976 Although I miss Nick at Nite, I don't remember this particular show being on it. It might have been though. It's a good one for sure!
My goodness. Lived my childhood watching Different strokes,Silver spoons & Small wonder.. Feeling so Nostalgic 😢
All good shows! 😊
Arnold was on fire in his younger days.
This actually kinda holds up,it got a couple of laughs out of me,wholesome tv like they don't make it anymore.
I’m 17 and this is one of my favorite shows
Makes you want to go back in time to those days ❤
Bro I almost cried watching this 😢❤ RIP Gary Coleman
Rest in peace, Gary Coleman🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️ rest in peace, Dana Plato❤🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️ rest in peace, Conrad Bain
Aah, the nostalgia.
Knight Rider, Colombo, It Takes A Thief, Banacek, Mannix, Mork & Mindy, Little House On The Prairie...
The list is almost endless.
How did we lose our innocence?
Where did all the fun go?
Where are the neighbors that were more than family?
The class teachers who were more like mothers and fathers.
And classmates who were more than brothers and sisters.
The friends who'd stay in your house for days, if you're sick.
I sometimes weep when I see the hate and extremes that I see almost everywhere.
Yes, I know that there are 100% genuine, honest-to-God people out there. But it would be a miracle if I ever find one.
Aah, the nostalgia.🥺☹️🎭💔😞😢😥😦😔
Thank you so much for uploading this video! I’ve always said I totally miss the 80s and 90s sitcom‘s. While watching this one, I remember that so many of the sitcoms and even cartoons of the 80s always seem to have a lesson to be learned by the end of the show.
One big reason Different Strokes is a classic is due to the show's characters feeling just like family. Mr Drummond was just like that excentric uncle we all have, Arnold and Willis just like your cool cousins and Kimberly is like that older cousin we all had a crush.
One of the Greatest shows ever. Also showing the humanity of all people in the greatest light. Unity and mutual understanding. Acceptance and Love. Fatherhood and righteousness. All things missing and deliberately removed/destroyed in “modern” tv and movies.
It also taught kids important life lessons so they were better prepared to deal with certain social issues when they’re older.
Kids now aren’t being taught about these issues and when they arise they don’t know how to deal with them.
Then why are so many people complaining about diversity if unity and inclusion is so important?
Great family show. When it first started. I'll admit I really thought that Arnold and Willis Jackson were going to leave. Glad they stayed.
Todd Bridges wished my mom a happy birthday
Please post all the episodes. Please please please 🙏

@@sachinmhatre2272 and who’s going to dub them?
If you have Amazon Prime, it's free to watch them on there. I watched the first show last night since nothing good was on tv for Labor Day
Arnold checked Willis azz in this episode!!!
And then some!
He deserved it Willis was being annoying🙄
I watched this show in reruns in the early 2000's, in 2000 to 2001.
Nick At Nite @ 9:00PM
have you EVER watched Noah Knows Best it lasted 8 episodes out of 13 produced it was a short-lived Nickelodeon show people say it got cancelled because of low ratings and the jokes were so bad, there are clips like Hanson on Noah Knows Best people say the jokes were so bad, that's why 5 episodes went unaired. Today it is mostly lost media, it hasn't been reran on Nickelodeon or it's sister channels since 2001
@@ricardotorres4150 Yes. I would watch this show on there religiously along with The Jeffersons.

Respect Mr. Drummond....short, simple and powerful...
If only this show reached to everyone definitely would make things better Mr Drummond was the greatest loving father figure ever to take in those two boys and raise them
“I’ve never seen a black goldfish before.” “That’s ok, he’s never saw a rich white man before either.” Hahahahahaha!
Im flatter with amount of innocence loaded in this episode
Goes to show you how our world has crumbled.
"What's she smoking?"
Gary's first impression of Dana was ironically a correct assessment of her.
Gary was so underrated. Kids of the 80s wit!
“How bout that Willis” - Arnold
Best line ever.
What you talking about Willis?
Mr Drummond Was Such a Good Man Conrad Bain Played The Perfect Character He Nice Enough to Take Arnold and Willis in and Adopt Them If He was My Father But Biologically I’d Be Very Happy and Proud
Why Do You Start Every Word With A Capital Letter? It's Weird.
I am here for it "2023" because this is what you call something to watch
Brings back good ol times. watch this show all the time. Simple shows yet classics
I am so glad I grew up in that era. We appreciate things that we got we worked for it and we deserved everything we ever got. Life was good shows were great movies were awesome and being around people and forgettable and awesome thank you Mom and Dad for taking care of us
You really think people are magically being given things they didn't earn and are unappreciative nowadays?
Talk about generalizations!
@@sarcasticallyrearranged
I'm sure there are some people from today's generation much more appreciative than some people of my generation ( I am 3 years elder than this show ), so true to what you said.
I miss these times,.... fresh Prince even friends... What good times

Childhood Memories ❤
Its too sad they are not with us any more

@20:08 Arnold telling Willis like it is. Great Acting by Gary Coleman. RIP
One of my favorite shows growing up!! Grateful for it's lessons, content in general.
Its been years since I was a young boy over 35 years when I began watching this comedy series...never thought and understood the programme...really chilling, fun and upgrading.
I love this show, I'm so happy watching it
WOW What a lovely family, to make those orphaned kids feel at home & welcome. Such a nice moment in the tub, when Willis finally puts his guard down & embraces the love from Mr.Drummond & Arnold jumps in and they all hug ;)
Gary Coleman was the ultimate child star of the late 1970s
