season 8 since the show was

1. Only airing on Sundays and Mondays
2. Pre-empted on some Mondays
3. Conflicting with the NBA Playoffs


Really Losing interest in this dumb ass channel

Didnt Different Strokes air on Wednesday? When was it pre-empted on Mondays?

It airs on Mondays here but stopped airing on Wednesdays.

No because All in the Family airs on Wednesdays now. And I also found out tonight is the last episode of the series and I won't get to see it since I will be watching the game.

I will try and see if I can record it on the other TV

I didn't much care for the later seasons, so I'm happy they are going back to the early seasons.

I didn't like the first half of season 1

Solomon, I was going to tell you about Different Strokes going back to the beginning. I didnt know if you knew or not. DS took a while to show the whole series but it wasnt that bad because it was on a lot. I think a show like Benson, will take forever to get through the whole run because its only on an hour a week.

I will try to flick back and forth tonight when the last ep of season 8 comes on depending on how the game is around that time.

I think Forrest Whitaker is in that episode

Solomon is never satisfied with anything. Get with the times and record it! Stop bickering when it is YOUR FAULT. Do you think Antenna TV cares if the NBA playoffs are against Diff'rent Strokes? Out of your mind, as usual.

I can record but that means I lose internet service for 30 mins and the ep is not worth all that

Why not?

Why not?


Willis had a attitude problem and the show during that period was all about both of the boys struggling to make the transition from Harlem to Park Ave

Yeah, I much prefer the episodes when the boys were more settled as well. But it's realistic that they showed they were struggling to make the transition at first. Understandably anyone would have trouble with their situation.
I also think it's realistic that Willis was more reluctant than Arnold to accept his new surroundings because he was older and it made sense.
I like when they're one big happy family, though. :p

That's one of the main reasons why I didn't buy season 1 on DVD lol

I didn't like the steroids episode, especially not as the last episode. No Willis, No Maggie, No Kimberly, even No Pearl lol. I take it that they didn't know that would be the last episode when they were filming it?

Not sure why Antenna TV promoted last night's episode as the series finale:lol:

I got to watch most of Season 8 but I didn't like the way it was programmed either. Season 8 was the shortest season of DS but it took the longest too get through on Antenna TV because they took it off Wednesdays then put on all these stupid marathons on days it aired that made it take even longer.

Seemed like Lisa got so much older in that last season due to her height and weight.

Why are you complaining? you cannot live without your internet for 30 mins? You can't use your phone for the internet for the 30 mins?

NO because I have high speed internet not dial up.

They didn't promote it as the series finale. I just assumed that this was the episode you were talking about when you said you were going to miss the last episode. Was another episode the last episode?

On FB Antenna TV said Series finale. Instead it was just the last ep of season 8

So that makes it the series finale since it was the last episode of the series right? Even though it didn't intend to be, it ended up that way, I guess.

NO, it was just the last ep of season 8 which turned out to be the last of the series:lol:

DS should have prepared for the end as soon as ABC picked it up. Everyone knew it was ending.

But that inadvertently makes it the series finale! :lol:

You still did not answer my question. Why would it be a problem that you will not have internet for 30 mins? You can't live without internet for 30 mins? Can't you use your phone for internet while DS is recording?

No it just means it was the last episode of the series. Series finale is a completely different thing

Yeah I guess can or listen to ITUNES for 30 mins
