You know, it's crazy how Todd Bridges is the only cast member of this great show "Diff'rent Strokes" living now. I think this show is a forever Classic that will live on way past 2021!!!
@TH-cam Man OOOOO, my bad. She was one of Norman Lear's favorite players, having appeared in other Norman Lear productions, such as 'All in the Family', without which, there would be no 'Diff'rent Strokes' .
@CStarz that's the opposite of white supremacy. White supremacy is about creating only one culture not accepting different ones, which is what the term DIFFERENT STROKES means. Are you just trolling?
Yeah lived up 69.He was going to be 70 March 1. The dad on Diff'rent Strokes lived up to 89;would have been 90 a month later in January. Conrad Bain died 3 years ago.

When asked if the cast was cursed Todd Bridges said something along the lines of if something terrible happens to Conrad Bain then somethings up. Conrad Bain lived a long fruitful life.
I repeat them daily. Yes, I'm corny, but it's amazing how few people recognize my words as coming from these lyrics...younger people especially have no clue.
The theme tune lyrics went completely over my head as a kid... as did the 'Good Times' theme tune. I loved this show, Gary Coleman was hilarious as Arnold, such a shame he passed away young. Tragedy followed Dana Plato too, life went really wrong for her and sadly led to an early death.(accidental OD or suicide depending on which report you read) & as far as I'm aware, following the passing of Charlotte Rae, Todd Bridges is now the only surviving regular cast member. Arnolds "What'chu talkin bout Willis?" catchphrase was a big fave of us 80's kids though.
Along with "The Cosby Show", we watched this all the time! Living in North West London in the early 1980's, I was already in a multicultural society, so none of this seemed strange and I think what appealed about bothy shows was the terrific comedy and humour in them. Regardless of how things have changed (For better or worse), these shows are still quite easy to watch.
One of the greatest television shows of all time. I loved it. Never missed an episode. You can tell that when the show moved from NBC to ABC and Charlotte Rae left the show, that the show was on its last legs. But, still a classic. We lost pretty much everyone who starred on the show. May they all rest in peace. Conrad Bain, Dana Plato, Gary Coleman, Charlotte Rae, and Dixie Carter.
Actually the show had some of its highest ratings even after Charlotte Rae left in the middle of the 2nd season. But you are correct in that the show wasn't the same by the time of its move to ABC.
After Charlotte Rae left in the middle of the second season, she went on to star in the ever-popular spin-off (and one of the greatest sitcoms of the 1980’s, not to mention one of NBC’s greatest of the 1980’s) The Facts of Life along with Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Nancy McKeon and former mouseketeer Lisa Whelchel.

Yes - what happened to Dana and Gary especially. Dana killed herself after an interview with Howard Stern. She was ridiculed for doing soft core porn on the show and it really destroyed her ego. Gary's parents stole all of his money. The assholes. He ended up having to work as a security guard. Then he died of a seizure.
It really depends on the show. There are so many shows that are hollow and just plain ordinary. A good theme song is appreciated when it carries the values of that show, else it is just another song.

It was so nostalgic watching these opening credits, and also a bit sad, as Todd Bridges is the only one of the actors mentioned in the opening credits who's still alive.
Well, the sitcoms they do have don't have theme songs. I don't remember one since the 90's. And the only one I can remember that lasted into the 00's is Friends. I can sing most of the 80's sitcom themes plus The Live Boat's theme song. But this was my favorite sitcom from the late 70-80's. It is my first "love" of sitcoms, I was born in '75. The 90's-80's were so sad seeing all the kids just start losing in life in different ways. The most surprising things from it all is one, Conrad Bain out lived Gary and Dana & two, that Todd Bridges outlived them all considering his life 25 years ago or so when he was hooked on drugs and such. He will be 55 this year. Keep on keeping on Todd!
I wish we only had theme songs to worry about, the writing for family shows is ridiculously stupid. Everything has to have an agenda, the sitcom era is long gone, the last good sitcom was Friends.

When asked if the cast was cursed Todd Bridges said something along the lines of if something terrible happens to Conrad Bain then somethings up.
Conrad Bain lived a long fruitful life.
I really missed the good old days where by we rush home to catch drama like these, Happy days, charlie's angels and so on
these lyrics are deeper than you may think.
I repeat them daily. Yes, I'm corny, but it's amazing how few people recognize my words as coming from these lyrics...younger people especially have no clue.
Mosca Muerta Are you saying that I don’t pay attention to lyrics?
Air_ Was yes
Yes, yes, yes!
They’re saying that Eveyone can come together no matter their background
The theme tune lyrics went completely over my head as a kid... as did the 'Good Times' theme tune. I loved this show, Gary Coleman was hilarious as Arnold, such a shame he passed away young.

I grew up in Tottenham N15 , different world back then , just having a nostalgia trip.
I never bothered about the racial aspect growing up in the early 1980s, it went over my head..
Thank you Alan Thicke... this immediately takes me back to the early 80’s . For all of us 80’s kids.....This is important.
Loved this show as a kid. It had me rolling with laughter.
We're all got varying in fun and lesson learning "strokes" but love these classic situations and theme song. Stay safe everyone!

is it 'jeans' or 'genes'?
I think it's genes, myself because it could mean all they have is their heritage.

You could be right.
Nothing but the jeans... I think it’s a play on the word genes. Both were brothers.

This is one of the very earliest shows I remember... very strange seeing this again...
in the 70's and 80's, every great sitcom had a great theme song. those days are gone. now its shitty reality tv with no theme music to speak of
You re so right
Alan Lloyd yup tv sucks now. I live in the past lol
Correct... and it extends into mainstream radio. Why retailers play music from 30-40 years ago. Nothing worth playing today.
Well, the sitcoms they do have don't have theme songs. I don't remember one since the 90's. And the only one I can remember that lasted into the 00's is Friends. I can sing most of the 80's sitcom themes plus The Live Boat's theme song. But this was my favorite sitcom from the late 70-80's. It is my first "love" of sitcoms, I was born in '75.
