Product Information

DIFF'RENT STROKES aired from 1978-1986, taking place in Manhattan and centering around the story of the Drummond family. Phillip Drummond (Conrad Bain) is a wealthy, penthouse-dwelling widower who lives with his teenage daughter Kimberly (Dana Plato); in fulfillment of the dying wishes of his former housekeeper, he has taken in her two sons, Willis (Todd Bridges) and Arnold Jackson (Gary Coleman), ghetto youths from Harlem whose fish-out-of-water status in their new home forms the comedic basis of the show. In the first season, the boys try to escape back to Harlem, Willis finds (and loses) his first job, Willis gets up to all kinds of mischief, and incredulous friends and relatives of both families come to visit.

3 Disc Edition
This edition from Columbia Tri-Star is the one to get, as the episodes are spread across 3 discs instead of 2. That guarantees better picture quality. Great packaging includes 3 thin amaray cases inside a slip cover, each one featuring a colorful photo of Gary Coleman. This is a lot of fun!
