November 3rd…. “NO ONE IS SAFE!”
It was 45 years ago today, that "Diff'rent Strokes"
started it's eight season run in 1978...
Was honored to have known Dana, Todd and Gary...
Sure do miss my good friend, Dana Plato...

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum
What might be right for you, may not be right for some
A man is born, he's a man of means
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans
But they got
Diff'rent Strokes, It takes
Diff'rent Strokes, It takes
Diff'rent Strokes to move the world...
Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine
It don't matter that you got not a lot - So what
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have
Mine - and together we'll be fine...
Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world
Yes it does ~ It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world...

Tied with Mama's Family, this is my favorite show from the 1980s (well, mostly 1980s!). Sad that from the main cast, only Todd is still with us.

^I should have said main original cast, since I guess Danny Cooksey is probably still around.
