Its not bad enough that they "tease" us with the Sam kidnapping episode. Its not bad enough they always edit out segments of the original show. Its not bad enough they can't play ANY episode that is the LEAST bit "controversial." ..... But now, for the whole f-in month of July (during the Thursday marathons) they will air episodes they've already played! How many times to we have to see "Football Father"?!?!?! UUUUUUUUUGGHHHHHH! Anybody have a phone # for these clowns? I am going to call up and raise pure HELL with these candy-asses for taking the fun out of this great show! This is not 1950! This is not the Disney channel! I am so pissed!!!!!!! Nick At Nite *SUCKS*!!!

listen i think we should all just calm. if people start calling nick at nite and yelling at them because of the episodes they are airing, they could threaten to stop airing the show. maybe if we can just give them some time, it is possible they may air some of those controversial. after all, n@n just started airing about 4 or 5 months ago.
we should just leave them alone and see what happenes.

He does have a point for the reason there's so many repeats is that folk hadn't seen Diff'rent Strokes in years. Last time I saw it I was 13.

Editing: ALL & I repeat ALL shows do that for addies, etc. We the consumer can basically either watch it or not. Then ratings will change & the networks will listen to the consumer.

Sam's Kidnapping: Don't much care for that; I can only watch basically up to when Maggie # 1 & Sam come in. Of course The Bicycle Man & other later eps are redemming. Sam's KIDNAPPING & Arnold/Kimberly's KIDNAPPING/AMNESIA combo are Cheese Wiz especially that last one.

They could cut down on advertisements except for 1 thing:

Money Cometh!

So chill out for now; it'll get better, it'll get better.

Riches & Glory are in the vow of faith! Send a check or money order for at least $1000, preferably to my account in Zurich; I have a ski lodge up there!

At least they air it! I know it hasn't been in widespread syndcation in a long time.

On one hand, it would be interesting to see the kidnapping episode again. On the other hand, any episode with that annoying red-haired kid and Mary Ann Mobley is torturous, so I have mixed feelings.

I think sam's missing is a good episode, but Ialso think it would be worth sacraficing that episode to not see any of the sam & maggie episodes. those sam and maggie episodes is when DS started to suck.

Yes, I agree with you. Let us take a lesson by observing what they did with FOL. They can do the same with DS too if we don't play our cards right.

All of the Diff'rent Strokes episodes should
be aired. I have an idea. This might sound kind of drastic. Since NAN is not showing episodes of DS and FOL that they consider to be controversial then why not trade them to TV Land for two shows that don't have any controversial episodes. Diff'rent Strokes and Facts Of Life could be on TV Land and every episode would be shown. NAN could take the two sitcoms with no controversial episodes that they got from TV Land and air all of the episodes. Could TV Land and NAN do this? Is it possible?

I do not want DS on TV Land because our cable company don't carry that channel. You would have to have a satillite to watch those shows and I am not willing to go out and buy one.

On the Disney ,Fox Family channel the show
controversial stuff. So how come they can't play it. They can at least play it 12:00 at night. They can at do that for a change

i truley love this show and i just started watching it last month.i am 13 and i wish i would have got to watch it in the 70s and 80s and i would really like tyo know about sam and stuff and i think they should air all the episodes so kids as young as me get to see them!

Are they going to air the kidnapping episode?
