Editorial Reviews
Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges return as brothers Arnold and Willis Jackson for another season of family fun and life lessons.
During the third season, Arnold and Willis get held hostage by bank robbers, Mr. Drummond (Conrad Bain) celebrates his 50th birthday in the hospital, Kimberly (Dana Plato) helps a pregnant girlfriend, and Arnold the great goes missing after a more-than-effective disappearing act. Diff’rent Strokes never shied away from the social and cultural issues at hand, but always managed to deliver laughs and heartfelt character development from week to week. Diff’rent Strokes ran eight seasons strong, from 1978 to 1986, airing both on NBC and ABC.

FINALLY!!! THANK YOU SHOUT!!!! NOW THAT"s WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 6 looooooong years since Season 2 came out they are FINALLY putting another season out of this awesome classic 80's show. I have NO idea what takes these studios so long to put these out when more obsucre, less popular shows already have full season sets and complete series sets out there. I am part of a growing number of parents with elementary and teen children that are tired of all the raunchy, overly sexualized junk that is being constantly exposed to our children on television. It's wonderful to have access to good, clean, fun television prgramming! Let's thank Shout Factory for taking this one under their wing and let's hope they bring it to its full completion of the full 8 season run. Now THAT's WHAT I'm TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS!!!!!!!

I have seasons 1 & 2 of Diff'rent Strokes, and I watched them with my son who is now 13, but 10 at the time we got the DVDs. Would you believe he asked me, "Mom, I noticed that nobody cusses in these shows." Hmmmm...and he's right. Nowadays, the crap you see on tv is just too raunchy and over the top with sexual references, etc. Even something deemed PG is a bit much. Glad to see Diff'rent Strokes (my favorite late 70's-80's sitcom) has finally produced the 3rd season on DVD. Can't wait to get this! Season three is the start of the show taking off. I think once Edna Garrett left (and I LOVED her by the way) and they got the housekeeper named Adelaide; the show became a "must see" on Wednesday (NBC) nights!

Good times! Good times!
A nice way to reflect on the 1980's.
It's funny to see how we still have some of these topics ion TV now, and other are slightly different.

diffrent strokes always great
Great family entertainment. Although all in show were good. Gary Coleman was the life of this show. Shows today miss the family values and heart of these older shows.
