I seen all the crossover episodes with Hello Larry except the Thanksgiving crossover but the ones that I saw i liked a lot. I think the character Ruthie should played Kimberly Drummond-I think the chemistry between her and the boys was awesome. I guess i will see the Thanksgiving crossover someday when another station picks up Different Strokes.

The Hello Larry episodes were fair. They weren't the best episodes, but they weren't the worst either. JMO, but I'm not sure if the Ruthie actress could pull off the Kimberly character. Dana really brought Kimberly Drummond to life, and I'm not sure Ruthie could do that. Ruthie was a good actress, but the Kimberly character would really lack the extras that brought the character to life.

I guess i was so amazed at the chemistry between Arnold, Willis, and ruthie in one scene that i just thought she would have been a better kimberly drummond.

I'm kind of like you Solomon, I saw all the crossover episodes, except for the Thanksgiving one. Actually I did get a chance to see about 10 minutes of the Thanksgiving one on Tv Land I believe it was. I thought the first two crossovers where they went to visit the Alder's in Portland was pretty good, but I thought the one where Larry got a talk show job in New York was pretty boring. That's one of those episodes that I always fast forward past when i'm going through my tapes. I think the 10 minutes of the Thanksgiving one was my favorite though. I wish I would have gotten to see the rest of it.

I thought i was going to see it when TNN picked the show up-but now that it's dropped-i don't know if i will ever see it

The Hello Larry crossovers are some of my favourite episodes. The Thanksgiving is probably the funniest out of the 3.

I agree with Solomon that the chemistry between Ruthie and Willis, Arnold worked really well- I thought Ruthie's character was really funny and so was Larry and very well acted.

For some reason I thought the Thanksgiving crossover would be the best one-I have never seen it but it just seems like the Thanksgiving crossover would be the best.
