Different Strokes: The Complete Season 1

"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 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 four episodes from the hilarious first season so you can experience all of the fun of Diff'rent Strokes again!
