Bobby's visible sadness and anger at realizing what his father has done is heartbreaking
Yes, kidnapping people is wrong!
Yeah earlier in the episode when we first see the Brown's, Donald looks over at Bobby and Bobby nods his head no to him because he knew Donald committed homicide by killing his son Tommy and was told not to tell his mother that Donald did that.
He did that kill tommy
@@vivianaespinoza5281 yes
Why would Donald do that kill tommy
That sad little wave between Sam and Bobby is heartbreaking
No it wasn’t
Agreed.
I thought it was, he was the one that helped Sam.
I also felt bad for the mother, because she was caught in the middle of that father's mess, and she really did like Sam. It was already bad enough she lost her own other son.
@@NYRyder1983 It's really sad. She was already clearly in a fragile mental state after losing her son. She's probably going to go completely off the deep end after finding out what her husband has done. And what's going to happen to poor Bobby after this?
The husband must have been crazy himself, otherwise he would have actually thought about what this would do to his family.
Back then there was no internet or googling someone but Don made a bad mistake by kidnapping the son of a country music star and step son of a billionaire.
He was a fool and got caught
I feel sorry for their older son. He knows that what his parents are doing is wrong and he feels powerless to stop them. If this was in real life he would probably grow up in foster homes and might never have a normal life. Sadly, the episode never addressed the after effects.
Thanks k
The Wife didn't even know about the Kidnapping either
The mom didn’t know about the kidnapping either. This was all the father’s fault. He ruined both his wife and son’s life by kidnapping Sam.
I agree, or at least considered taking him in for a while!
I'm sure the mother got off easier than the father, and Bobby their son went to live with relatives until it all blew over. There's a deleted scene where they both chastised Don for what he did.
I found this to be a touching scene. Sam’s sad and pitiful goodbye to Robby hit me in the feels. Earlier they were tying fishing flies together when Sam confessed he wasn’t rescued from being homeless. Robby’s demeanor at the dinner table shows he is sad for Sam and distraught at his own situation. Mr Drummond dashing in and scooping Sam up was heartwarming. Sam’s sad goodbye to Robby was heartbreaking. We can surmise that Robby helped Sam and gave him comfort while in a terrible situation. Otherwise he wouldn’t have given that sad goodbye.
It's Bobby, not Robby.
Know what is funny? Sam calls Drummond Mr. D, just like Arnold and Willis did before he adopted them and started calling him Dad.
Right?
When did Sam start calling Mr Drummond "Dad"?
@@Vriappiopoi He never did his real dad is still alive and well and they are very close
In real life he would have called him Phil. He should have on the show too.
Sam's father was still alive so that's who he called Dad. Philip still wanted Sam to have a close relationship with his father. Arnold and WIllis's father died when they were very young and they even mentioned they called him Pop not Dad.
Someone commented on how Sam said goodbye to Bobby. Maybe he did keep in touch with him to some degree. He was grateful to Bobby for believing him being kidnapped and letting him call home so he could be rescued. Bobby did the right thing.
Ummmm.... this is a television show. It is not based on a true story
Hopefully those idiot parents will learn from their son.
Elizabeth Escalante it's not the moms fault, she didnt know that her husband kidnapped Sam.
@@jhgjhggj well the mom (the kidnappers wife) is someone who needs psychological help, she decided to keep Sam because her own son died
@@665demondog yeah but at this point she was under the pretense that her husband adopted him she was a victim as well of deceit
I cried during these episodes. Glad they got Sam back!!
_Why?_ 🤨
Isn’t Sam in a punk rock band now ?
This show really handled a lot of serious stuff that they wouldn't dare do today.
Yes but could have been handled better.
@@lightpostfilms9721 How?
I know right,sexaul abuse, Kim and Willis getting kidnapped.
They'd still do it. Cause like you said, these are a lot of serious stuff. Even in real modern times, they are still happening.
Sad to say but there are ppl in this world who are like this sick man! Be careful! 💯
This damn episode is why I'm still scared of being kidnapped. Thirty years later, I don't care if I'm an adult, I still panic whenever I see a bearded guy with kids. I just know...I'm next.
Bearded men aren't all bad
@@ENTERTAINMENT35 Yes they are.
@@yardape99 how do you know?
Lmao
I can understand that. Yes, there are some bad men with (and without) beards. But there's also wonderful men, with and without. Just as there are good and bad women. Every ethnicity and gender has both good and bad people.
Mr. Drummond could have given Mrs. Brown a job in his company to keep them from losing their home after Mr. Brown went to jail. Bobby and Mrs. Brown were victims in this crime too.
Or give them that 100k earlier in the episode.
Years after this Sam becomes friends with John Connor
And started a band look it up.
I remember that
@@natejaxson7612 Bad4Good
*Skynet intensifies*
Who
I had assumed that sam was ball gagged in a basement. it was nice to see him eating Mrs. Douglas' pot roast.
If I remember correctly, Mr. Douglas kidnapped Sam because he and his wife wanted a second child but couldn't have one. He snatched Sam, brought him home and told his wife and son that Sam had been homeless and that they were rescuing him from starving and freezing on the street.
Mrs. Douglas and the son were really nice to Sam. Mr. Douglas pretended to be nice, but when he and Sam were alone, he kept telling him that if he said anything or did anything wrong, he would kill Sam's family. So, Sam stayed quiet until he realized that he could really trust the other boy.
@@CadeD679 They had a son about sam's age who died. The father thought adopting would take too long
@@zt1053 Thanks! I hadn't seen the episode in a long time. I just remember that the father figured kidnapping a kid was a viable alternative to adopting.
What Don Brown did was wrong there is no excuse for that but you just cant kidnap another kid from another family just so you can replace a son that died no matter how good your itentions are if you want to make your wife feel better its not right
Exactly. He used poor judgement. He made his situation much worse now, with him going to jail for 20 years.
He could've just adopted a kid
jhgjhggj I agree. However, he told Bobby that adoption could take years, and his wife was traumatized.
Years later, actor Royce Applegate, who portrayed kidnapper Donald Brown, died in a fire in his Los Angeles home on New Year’s Day 2003. No word as to whether or not Mr. Drummond was spotted in the vicinity.
Montgomery Mall 😁😁😁
Sam has got to be the coolest child character in Television history I put anyone up to him .
I felt bad for Bobby and his mom. It was very sad that Bobby lost his own younger brother.
Mr D has that much power he can go with the police on warrants
Supposedly, a couple of lines were deleted immediately after Sam's rescue and departure: Bobby tells his dad, "I don't know who you are anymore, but you're not the man who raised my brother and me!", while May tearfully asks Donald, "WHAT WOULD TOMMY SAY?!".
It looks like the way the scene ended there was more stuff that was cut out
@@zt1053 What was deleted was stuff back at the apt. with the family.
@sha11235 there's a cut scene where Bobby and May both say what was said above. I wish I could see that part.
I wish they had done more with Bobby. He was my favorite character on the show.
Wonder what's gonna happen that his parents got arrested.
@@animefan2454 he probably is with his mom she probably wasn't arrested cuz she didn't know Sam was kidnapped
@MidOhioBuckeyeMan technically she wasn't handcuffed the cop just grabbed her arms and secondly I'm pretty sure they took them into questioning and cleared it up how the mom and Bobby weren't part of it
I'm glad that Bobby did the right thing by helping Sam locate his family.
It would’ve been nice if Bobby had became a recurring character after this, and befriended Arnold too seeing how they would be closer in age than Sam. For the sake of realism, the father would remain in jail for a while but after his release, he comes by the Drummond home to properly apologize and slowly forms a friendship with Phillip, who takes pity on his grief knowing how it feels after losing his first wife.
The wife didn't even know he wasn't homeless.
No, she didn't. Sam told the boy, though, and he actually helped him get in touch with Mr. D, from what I remembered.
Sam had to go along with the lie because Mr. Brown threatened to kill Sam's parents.
@@averythecoolcat yep and even though Sam was threatened not to tell he just couldn't keep the secret anymore because he desperately wanted his family back so he just had to confess to Bobby
She has got to be full of hot air because she has got found something suspicious about where Donald got the clothes for Sam when they met
She couldn't figure it out--how her husband just arrived with a full grown son. Odds are that he probably did something to the first kid.
You really can't blame Sam for being quiet during most of this experience. That man threatened to kill his family. He did the right thing by keeping quiet. He might have even saved himself, Bobby and his Mom too. I know that they were the man's son and wife, but that don't mean nothin'. How many times have we heard on the News about a man killing his wife and kids? Too many. It would've been easy for Sam to just rat the man out to his wife and son, but anything could've happened if he did. The man could've killed everybody in the house, Sam included. Anyone who's capable of kidnapping someone else's child and making death threats to that child's family is capable of killing their own family too. I think Sam kept quiet to protect his family, Bobby and his Mom.
Way to go, Sam.👍
I don't believe the Dad had intentions of killing Sam's parents, but rather told him that so Sam wouldn't try to run or get help. There would have been so many repurcussions for the family if he tried to carry that out for real.
I wouldn't put it pass him for that he look like he would he look crazy enough to do that or try to.
@perun1nj Not creeped out, but it was depressing. That poor mother and child having to suffer further because of the father's insanity. I didn't even watch the full episode and just this one minute was enough to make me tear up.
Akane1313 so had they lost a child and that is y Sam was kidnapped?
This was a 2 parter and it was torture! I was 12 years old when this originally aired and it was equally as terrifying as the bicycle man and the hitchhikers
The father also kept threatening to kill Mr. Drummond and Sam's mom Maggie if he tried to escape or used the phone to call for help.
@@KQuinn672 ik I'm late but what happened is the couples son died and the mother wanted another child just like the son she lost and they didn't try to adopt because it was alot of money and it would be hard due to the mother's mental state so the father said he would find a homeless child on the streets but instead he went to the store and so did Sam and the father made a lie saying he lost his dog and asked Sam to come with him for help reluctantly sam agreed and the father kidnapped him saying if sam told anyone he would kill his parents so when everyone wasn't looking Sam dialed the phone and called Arnold to tell him the number to tell the police. Then Sam told Bobby (the kidnappers son) about him being kidnapped and showed proof of it in the newspaper. Finally, the police showed up and Sam reunited with Mr. Drummond, and the mother and (until Sam told him) Bobby never knew Sam was kidnapped
I'm kind of worried about these adopted kids, they run into pedophiles and kidnappers a lot in the show. But then again having grown up in 1980s and 1990s America there were a lot of pedophiles and kidnappers around. Yet everybody was always worried about the one gay dude on the Block who always minded his own business.
The father’s an even bigger idiot for hurting his family by kidnapping someone else’s child.
0:43 To that kidnapper: I found you guilty for kidnapping and threatening to the child. I sentence you five years imprisonments
At least he had the decency not to take his wife and son down with him.
@@dominickdirienzo8266 yeah because they had nothing to do with it
@@dominickdirienzo8266His wife and his son didn’t know about it
@@jonathancruz5932 the mom should’ve been suspicious about how he got the money for clothes for Sam
Yeah true but so people are crazy enough to lie on each other and take their family down with them
Actually no...I found it creepy too. Seems like Sam was starting to really like Bobby and will miss him. The way he said bye sounded as if Mr D was kidnapping him.
I didn't think so, I think he felt gratitude to Bobby because he helped him. Bobby didn't seem okay with what his dad did.
@@averythecoolcat He was flat out disgusted. Now he has a dead brother, a father in prison and a mother who probably had a complete mental breakdown knowing that one of her kids is dead and her husband is likely going to prison for 30 years to life.
@@averythecoolcat Exactly!
Sam probably told Mr D what Bobby did and Mr D made sure Bobby and the mom would get the help they needed
I was so happy Sam was rescued by Mr Drummond and the cops, however I kinda feel bad for Bobby and his mother since they didn't know and had nothing to do with the kidnapping.
Especially Bobby since both parents are in handcuffs and he might get sent off to foster care or might have to go live with his other relitives.
Mr Drummind looked at her like Get Back!!
He said "Back that ass up" 🤣🤣
Yeah because she shouldn’t question Donald where he got the money for the clothes and how he got clean up
Donald should really be on loathsome character wiki because he setting a bad example to his son he lied about finding Sam he’s in denial and worst he murdered his son Tommy
When I first seen this episode I thought that was Sam's actual father in the show.
There are many problems with this great episode
1. Sam's abduction would be headline news and Brown wouldn't be able to keep it a secret from his family.
2. Everyone in the Drummond household just assumes Sam will turn up fine, while ignoring all logic - Sam was a kidnapped 10 year old boy and no ransom demand was made, no one brings up he's most likely been raped and murdered.
3. The police let Philip go along on the rescue.
+Diamond King On top of that, the cops were acting outside jurisdiction. Sam was in another area code, which was two hours outside of NYC at the time.
+Diamond King Well, it was in the newspaper that the father noticed and he ripped it up and threw it away, remember? Also, this was 1985 when the story took place. Maybe at that time these stories didn't make front page news. As to Phillip going along on the rescue, he only came in when it was certain Sam was there and it was safe for him to enter.
I think the uniformed cops are the ones in the jurisdiction, so it was okay.
+sha11235 And the reward money for Sam’s safe return jumped from the announced $50,000 on the television news program to $50 million according to the newspaper headline that Donald Brown read.
It would have been a SWAT operation led by the FBI or the New York State Police. They would not have knocked. They would have yelled police, or FBI as they were coming in. EMS would have come next, and then Mr. Drummond who would be waiting at the staging area.
When I 1st watched whole episode I cried
Bobby later got busted on a Dateline To Catch a Predator sting...he blamed his dad.
I might have made a similar comment years ago. But I'd have this episode for laughs with Sam driving his kidnapper nuts.
If there was an episode of Fresh Prince where little cousin Nicky was kidnapped how do you think that would turn out? It would have had it's serious side like Papa's Got a Brand New Excuse but they could still work in some humour like maybe Will and Carlton could have sneaked in and maybe Carlton would have done his girly scream and Will could have gone "Yo back up, back up". Hell there was an episode where Will, Carlton and Uncle Phil were kidnapped by that guy in the clown suit and that was done for laughs. RIP Safety Guy.
I don't remember how this episode ended, but I would like to think that the dad was able to forego prison time if he agreed to mental health counseling and community service. What a pity it would have been to further destroy that grieving family by wrenching away their dad. Drummond was so kindhearted that I could see that happening.
What mental health services? This was early 1980's when Reagan was cutting funding for what public health had existed. Dad is probably going to get locked up.
I don't know if Phillip and the authorities would want to risk the dad stealing someone else's kid. And I'm not sure that the mother wouldn't go along with it this time either...she was heartbroken when Sam wanted to leave with Phillip.
I do feel bad for her and Bobby, and the father certainly wasn't an evil person (at least not compared to Bill and Mr. Horton), but I certainly wouldn't feel easy about it if he was out there possibly looking to kidnap another child.
Then Sam grew up to be a troublemaker at Summer Camp.
I see what you did there LOL
He call himself a father Mr Drummon is always there for his children no Matt what
Earlier in the episode, Don Brown told his wife that they could give a home to a homeless child. Don kidnapped Sam and pretended that Sam was homeless. The stupid thing about Don resorting to a kidnapping is that with the homeless problem in New York City, he probably could have found a homeless child to take in. Nobody would have gotten hurt if Don would have just used his head. Instead he hurt the Drummond family as well as his own family.
Not sure what lead me down this path again but I remember seeing this episode. I wonder about the mom who just accepted that this homeless child was kidnapped off the street and is okay living with them. Feel bad for the son Bobby who realized what was going on and will probably be sent to foster homes.
She was probably shaken re her dead kid....and American mental healt care system really sucks especially if you're 'poor' like they are supposed to be. I felt for Bobby too. he's going to need services which he may not get as a result of all this trauma in a very short period of time. It's a very 80's script to make low income people ''troubled wrong doers' and the wealthy Drumonds (and their stepchildren) innocent victims. Bobby is 'smart' but never helps sam escape ---like Arnold himself had done in earlier episodes from bad situations.
0:54-0:58, Mr. Drummond was like I don’t trust you.
Because he didn't know who was in on what, all he knew was that Sam was kidnapped.
She shouldn’t question about where Donald the money to but sam new clothes and where he got him clean up
I thought Arnold was going to barge in there and save him
we need to get in the car now do it now
+Commodore Schmidlapp No, if you saw the episode, Arnold was back at the house waiting. He did answer the phone and heard Sam's voice, and got the number down for the cops. Then he is talking to Phillip about telling Maggie and Phillip decided against it after the last time being a hoax. Then Phillip went with the cops to check it out while Arnold stayed home and hoped for the best.
Snatched from the arms of a child bungler! Reunited with his family! No more dinners with strangers in an odd, forced family manner! News at ELEVEN!!
Edit: Where was Willis?
Phillip wasn't wearing his trenchcoat like he was when he rescued Dudley from the bicycle man and Kimberly from Bill the rapist. Plus, Detective Simpson wasn't with him.
To make this less depressing, turn on the subtitles!
I wonder if this guy shared a cell with Mr. Horton? 🤔
And Bill.
And Jarred the ex subway guy
Three kidnapping episode series: Arnold and Kimberly (the hitchhiking ones), Arnold and Dudley (the bike shop child molester), and Sam.
That only leaves Willis
Dudley and Arnold were not kidnapped by Mr. Horton just traumatized by him and his sickening mind.
@@krierp8 I still think the writers of the show have histories which were never uncovered. Maybe it's for the best.

Poor Budnick!
It makes him wanna fart

0:58 Donald is thinking that how did Sam call the police
Does he look sad or angry?
@@vivianaespinoza5281 both
@@jessyleppert2 why is he both he knew damn well he had it coming
I loved Diff'rent Strokes and grew up watching it when it first aired. Once Sam the brat came on with his just as annoying mother Maggie it made me want to scream.
Another Cousin Oliver syndrome on a sitcom. I know so many fans of the show agree. Maggie was just as annoying and it made me miss Kimberly. They were losing ratings and bringing Sam and Maggie on the show nailed their coffin.
On one episode Maggje threw away Arnold's shoes which had the raffle money in it. Drummond offered to by 230 dollars worth and she made them go sift in the trash as rich as he was.
The both sucked! This episode was only good because die hard fans were hoping it meant Sam would not come back.
I hated Sam, yet I thought his mother was okay. Bringing her in wasn't a bad idea, it meant that Mr Drummond had a missus on the show, yet the makers of the show should've left Sam out of it. In terms of a storyline, you could do something new with Maggie. You couldn't do anything with Sam that hadn't been done before. We'd already seen The Bicycle Man and Bill The Kidnapper. Sam being abducted just made Mr Drummond look like the most incompetent, least protective father in sitcom history. Sam was always going to come back, but really, he shouldn't have been there in the first place.
@@markv1274 true! I guess if Maggie had been there without annoying Sam then it would have been okay. I just laughed! 😆😆😆
Both Sam and Oliver were cute kid "shark jumps" that the writers thought would endear the audience back to the show because Cindy Brady and Arnold Jackson were getting older and their cuteness could not be prolonged. Unfortunately, neither addition was cute. Sometimes it's best just to let things go gracefully.
By the way, I didn't like Pearl either. Mrs. Garrett was like a mother and Adelaide like a grandma, but there was a hint of snooty-tootiness to Pearl that I didn't care for.
Damn
GD that Mr D had connections! That's twice he was allowed to raid a place along with the cops.
Otherwise, up yours, cousin Oliver. :P
I’m sure being a millionaire affords you privileges like that.
@@mammothfilms that's the lesson of different strokes. He went along for this and the Bicycle Shop---but oddly not to rescue his daughter
@@robinorlowski2449 good point.
@@mammothfilms He was going to leave his daughter every time something happened to her. He was trying to dump her with a molester.

Sam was in Terminator 2.
If anything happens to Sam McKinney, Donald and Mae Brown will be out of community service.
What, kind of Police Detective has too read your Rights of a card? He should have them memorized
0:57 What kind of cop doesn't memorize the Miranda Rights?
Yeah what a lazy fucker
A lot of cops in movies and TV shows do that.
He started to read them as soon as the brouhaha settled down and Sam and Mr. Drummond left.
Such a disappointment Sam was found. I (like millions of others) was hoping this would be the last we saw of him.
Hoping he'd end up in the same dungeon as cousin Oliver from The Brady Bunch and Seven from Married With Children
He came back in terminator 2 as the friend of John Connor
You're evil
You're terrible. 😁
He spent a few summers at Camp Anawanna, he held you in his heart, but when he thinks about you, it makes him wanna fart.
Guess Donald forgot the one thing about kidnapping is always lock the door
He didn't expect the police to show up like that.
@@sha11235That's because Sam was so smart to call Arnold.
And the kidnapper was dumb to leave the phone number on the phone
Aftermath
Mae-I can’t believe you stole a kid that has a family and now I’ll never see him again
Donald-Mae I’m sorry I just didn’t just to make you happy and…
Bobby-no dad you only did this for yourself you never cared about Sam nor moms feelings you only cared about yourself

Mae-(gasp) DONALD
Donald-it’s not what you think
Mae-shut up Donald just shut up and leave me alone
(Police car takes off with the brown family)
That was a happy ending!
No it wasn’t because Sam was returned and Maggie was still with Drummond

am i the only one who gets creeped out when he says "bye Bobby"

does he love Sam
does he love being bad
does he think about others
Does he know the consequences
Does he think killing peoples fun
I think they should make a cartoon of a family a husband and wife and four girls only one is adopted from Mexico and they move to New York to a house that belong to the brown family
0:10 how is Bobby ok with his dad touching him after he found out what he did
Did the lady really care that Sam was kidnapped?
I was happy.
The police busted down the door to get in? Maggie nor her husband opened the door.
It's crazy how these shows weren't always funny. This episode was disturbing the fact that the dad in that house threatens to kill his parents. Yet Mr. D doesn't even talk about it.
why would he do that i mean is he a dad or a killer
@@vivianaespinoza5281 Watch the episode the guy who kidnaps him says he's gonna kill his parents. What I meant was its shocking that they had a character say this in a show back then. Nowadays you wouldn't have a guy saying this in a kids show! Plus Mr. D never says anything to Maggie about it. Or especially Sam because it can be traumatizing to a kid. I just thought he was gonna assure him it wasn't true.
@@sonoroustripleh but is the dad a kidnapper and murder or a father who loves his family
@@vivianaespinoza5281 He doesn't actually kill. He missed his son so much so he kid knapped Sam so he could have another son again.

This was the last episode taped for the series. Earlier, the Drummond family was getting their home renovated but in reality, the set was being broken down.
I wish there was a way to watch it full.
Roku all seasons with adds. just found it
Amazon prime

I was genuinely hoping they wouldn’t rescue him and this would break up Drummond and Maggie. That would have been perfect
You are a very disturbed person if you were hoping for Sam to be brainwashed into loving this family.
@@jeshonloonskin4176 you are very disturbed if t out wanted this little shit and his mother to continue to ruin this sitcom
You need therapy!

Did the kid of this family get arrested too?
He probably didn't because he had nothing to do with it since he didn't know his dad kidnapped Sam because he lied and said he found him homeless on the streets.
@@jhgjhggj The poilce probably had to take everybody in but then the father confessed he acted alone and the wife and son were freed
I feel bad for the parents.
Even the husband after what he did to Sam? You should only feel for his wife and son.
Yeah no parent should outlive there child but still not excuse for kidnapping and threatening a child.
Yeah having that southern inbred in their house so long
I feel bad for Bobby.
I dont feel bad for the father but I do feel bad for the mother and son
Need final part
I agree. I hated Sam too.
How come?
Damn
Ehhhh, I changed my mind. You can keep him.
I really enjoyed Sam being gone. I thought yeah they finally realised what a mistake it was. Hopefully this would lead to Maggie divorcing Drummond too and we could get back to its winning formula
Damn
science as well
0:58 is Donald sad or mad
Sad. What he did was wrong and stupid.
@@cyclopstb well if he knew what he did was wrong did he ever think of the consequences
@@vivianaespinoza5281 Probably not

@@vivianaespinoza5281 He probably try to tell his wife not to answer the door or try to block the police.
