"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?" When pint size 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, wise-cracking Coleman. "Diff'rent Strokes" was a pop culture phenomenon that broke through cultural barriers as 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 3-disc set collects all twenty-two episodes from the hilarious first season. Now you can experience all of the fun of "Diff'rent Strokes" again! Episodes Include: Disc 1: "Movin' In", "The Social Worker", "Mother's Last Visit", "Prep School", "The Spanking", "Goodbye Dolly", "The Trial", "Retrospective (Part 1)" Disc 2: "Retrospective (Part 2)", "The Fight", "The Club Meeting", "The Woman", "No Time For Arnold", "The Relative", "The Tutor", "The New Landlord", "Willis's Privacy" Disc 3: "Mrs. Garrett's Crisis", "The Job", "The Trip (Part 1)", "The Trip (Part 2)", "Getting Involved", "Willis's Birthday", "The Girls' School".
