hospital when "two 9 years olds were missing?"

You would think they would stay at the hospital until they were contacted by the police. So what they come home to do? Have dinner while their kids was missing?? LOL

I guess there was little else that they could do until Arnold and Alice were located. To be honest, your guess is as good as mine, TVFactFan.

What a disappointing episode of "Strokes" that was (the hour-long "Arnold's Girlfriend")...you'd think the brass at NBC would've selected either "Arnold's Hero" (guest-starring Muhammad Ali), the two-parter "The Adoption" (guest-starring Whitman "Grady" Mayo), or even "Feudin' and Fussin'" (the second crossover featuring the casts of "Strokes" and its "sister series," the infamous [and much-maligned] "Hello, Larry") as the season two opener.

In my opinion, the only saving grace of "Arnold's Girlfriend" was Dabney Coleman's performance as bigoted Midwestern cattleman Fred Tanner; other than that, the episode is dismal and ends up in "after school special" territory.

I think the first season of "Strokes" is brilliant, TVFactFan. Arnold and Willis were getting acclimated to their new surroundings; in other words, they were still learning the ropes. Many (if not all) of the episodes aired during season one are hilarious.

It wasn't until season two when "Strokes" became a mainstay on NBC's then-floundering network lineup, due to its instant success during season one. NBC used the success of "Strokes" as a launching pad for other series ("The Facts Of Life" and [to a much lesser extent] the infamous "Hello, Larry").

They just had the look like Mr. Drummond found them on the street since their hair wasn't combed and their clothes looked kind of dingy
