I liked Sam, but I like the show best when Arnold, Kimberly, Willis, and Mr. Drummond were on the show.

Sam was awful. Not cute or funny. Different Strokes was way past its prime at that point. NBC should have ended the show after the Mr. Drummond got married. The last two seasons were terrible and it was cleared Gary Coleman wanted off the show. He looked miserable and angry those final two years of the show.

He supposedly didn't get along with Dixie Carter. He got his way and she was gone for season 8.

Now that season was the one that REALLY shouldn't have happened. The only thing good about it was the new opening. The worst thing was the casting of Mary Ann Mobley.
