Synopsis for an episode from Season 5:
Arnold's confrontation with the son of the new building landlord leads to Mr. Drummond punching the landlord in the face, and almost gets the family thrown out of the building.

I don't know, but just picturing it sounds like all kinds of awesome!!

The crossover with WKRP where Mr. Carlson showed up and tried to fuck Arnold and Dudley always seemed kind of weird. Wonder what Venus Flytrap would think.

Gordon Jump!

Arnold proves to be a bad friend and leaves Dudley there! haha!!

I remember they had Willis saying wiseguy comment to Mr. Drummond and Dudley's father, when the two fathers are commenting on how they smell liquor on Arnold and Dudley's breath, and Mr. Drummond says his typical "I am disappointed," followed by, "they're only babies!"

Then Willis pipes in: "Yeah, going from the nipple to the ripple."

Really? We're analyzing Diff'rent Strokes?!?!

Apparently some people like to do things that others do not like to do.

Best TV thread in months. Brilliant.

You know, Ben - the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you, may not be right for some.

Mr. Drummond gets amnesia again, and thinks he's a conservative doctor living next to a loud liberal woman who looks like Beatrice Arthur.

You never saw the epic thread about why Uncle Phil didn't pick Will up?

Yeah the pedo episode was really creepy.

He DID fuck Dudley - IIRC

That's all right, because Dudley got his revenge a few months ago. Arthur Carlson was beaten within an inch of his life, and he won't be able to do repair work on Maytag washing machines any longer.

I got nothing but my jeans!

If they didn't tell me it was Alan Thicke singing the theme song, I'd have sworn it was sung by a black guy. I think Thicke is intentionally trying to sound black, as he must be a racist.

The bike shop pedo episode wasn't really out of step with the show. They did a whole bunch of Very Special Episodes, especially toward the end. Drugs, racism, rape, kidnapping, etc.

Post clips!

The Pedo eps, the Bicycle Man parts 1 and 2

and worse in that it had a laugh track... wtf?

Jeans or genes?

That narration at the beginning of part 2 is really fucked up

I forgot that before the Blossom very special episode of the week, there was the Diff'rent Strokes ones.

Nancy Reagan was on one of the very special episodes.

I watched both parts of the pedo eps last nite

Overall, they were very well done, the actor Gordon Jump i think it was who played the pedo was excellent.

What i found creepy was the show played like a normal comedy for most of it, not sure if there was a live audience or a laughter track, but hearing the audience laugh along as the pedo joked with the two boys didn't sit well with me.

How the pedo went about his trade i thought was very well done, the gifts, the wine, the photos, the erotic cartoons etc
