They already made a movie about Diff'rent Strokes that showed on FOX about a month ago. It was pretty good, actually (imho). However, I think that the Brady's are more popular because they where more embedded into the culture than 'Stokes ever was. Brady Bunch books, cartoons, records... everything imaginable came out regarding the Brady kids! And because there where so many different kids, it was easy for ANYONE to identify with at least one of the characters. You also have to look at the different types of kids who where growing up watching these shows; the Brady audience was during an era where kids didn't know it was okay to tell an adult if someone was abusing them or touching them innapropriately, so kids of that time looked to the Brady Bunch as an escape. Bobby and Cindy never had to worry about Sam the Butcher molesting them! But then we get to Diff'rent Storkes, and the climate of America has changed. All sorts of programs are springing up for kids to understand what is going on, and 'Stokes was right there to help the kids learn! "Just say NO!" and the episode where the owner of a toy store molests Duddley are both perfect examples. The kids that grew up watching 'Strokes where more well adjusted, and didn't need to psychologically latch-on to the characters. At least, that's my oppinion on the subject.
