Before it's recent airing on N@N, when was the last time you have seen an ep of DS? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It last aired around September 1998 on the UPN station here in Atlanta.. For a good while in 1997-1998 they were airing 2 episodes a day then they moved it to latenight and finally the early morning.

It used to come on Baltimore Channel UPN in 1997 or 1998-1999. The only time i see it now is on Baltimore Channel where my cousins live and Nick At Nite on Nickoleon. I wish it came on more

Never saw it before it was on N@N.

luvinjuan1980 · 06-09-2001, 07:09 PM

Last time I saw it was a year or two ago during Christmas time. I had taken some time off of work and I woke up one morning and it was on. It was the episode where Arnold went out on the street with Garrett Morris as Santas and later that night Garrett came back and robbed the Drummonds on Christmas Eve.

The last time I watched DS before its airing
on NAN was during Thanksgiving in 1998. I
was visiting my sister in Georgia. She
laughed at me for wanting to watch it. Before
then I hadn't seen it since 1990.

JT · 06-10-2001, 01:30 PM

My local CBS channel had it come on evry Saturday night at 11:05pm (Central Time)
It came on right after "What's Happening!"
Now they show taht stupid Pamala Anderson Lee show "V.I.P."

I also saw it on Screen Gems Network. I think I have it on tape from there. But before that, I remember watching it weekdays on WPHL 17. It was on at like 5pm or so. One of the episodes I remember clearly is when Sam gets kidnapped. I remember that there's a part where he's in a drug store. WPHL aired Diff'rent Strokes and Facts of Life back to back. I remember that.

willjarmon · 08-06-2001, 08:46 PM

The last time I saw Diff'rent Strokes before N@N was on my local ABC and FOX stations from like 1987-1990 and on FOX from 1984-1991. I do recall it being on TBS for a very short time because Three's Company came on before it.One other station showed it here 7 days a week M-f @ 5 after Girl Talk and Saturday after American Bandstand and Silver Spoons @ 4:30 and Sundays @ 6

On the Comedy Channel in Canada on a Saturday vintage block that included Perfect Strangers, The Tracey Ullman Show, Soap, and Roseanne. And on the Buffalo FOX affialite between 1988-1993 after the Simpsons and, yet again, Perfect Strangers and Soap.

I have never heard of Diff'rent Strokes until the Revenge of 80s thing. Also, about the Revenge of the 80s, how come they kept Diff'rent Strokes and not the other shows? I sorta liked those shows, especially 227, Alf, and Silver Spoons.

I think that part of the reason might be because they have already been showing The Facts of Life (FOL), which is a spinoff of DS. Of couse, it doesn't make sense to me that FOL wasn't included either. Then again, I think they should have brought DS into their line-up before they ever aired FOL. As for the other shows, I have nooo idea why they didn't include them in their summer line-up...they decided to do a dumb thing by using the same sitcoms as last year for their summer marathons. But that's N@N for ya......well, I won't say anymore.

Kitt · 08-28-2001, 09:13 PM

A few days after meeting Dana-1987-in Northern California I had to go to the home of a friend who had a satellite dish to watch the show. They aired the Ali episode. I scarcely ever saw it prior to that. Then I watched it a few times in'88 with my daughter on a local station in Sonoma California. I didn't see it again until N@N. The first episode I watched--Ali.

For those living in the Dallas area, I remeber it being shown on Ch 11, an independent station that showed Dallas Mavericks and Texas Rangers games, before it became a CBS affiliate. Then it was on Fox 33, before fox 33 became WB 33. This was all in the early 90's. They used to have a Diff'rent Strokes/Good Times block. After that It briefly appeared on UPN 21 but didn't last long. I'm glad it has found a home on Nick. I just wish they wouldn't cut up episodes!!
