Cool E! True Hollywood Story -- Both of them, this Thurdsay!

Wow, I just saw that both the "Diff'rent Strokes" AND "Dana Plato" True Hollywood stories will air back-to-back this Thursday night (9/27). DS is from 8-10pm Eastern, and Dana is from 10-11pm Eastern. I know they aired before, but I have yet to see them. Can't wait!!

I know I'll be recording them both too. I can watch the Diff'rent Strokes story, but I can watch the Dana Plato story before I go to school Friday morning. Thanks for the reminder Smokin' Sods!

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

YES! I can finally tape them. I saw the Dana Plato story 2 years ago and never got the chance to tape.

I hope I don't ruin anybody's fun in taping the true hollywood stories, but I was going to tape both of them when it came on recently, but I decided not to because it's kinda depressing watching it, especially the Dana story. Unlike the 3's company and Facts of life E! stories, there's not a real happy ending.

I watched the Diff'rent Strokes THS for the first time last night which was interesting to see, but I couldn't bear to watch all of the Dana THS because it is so depressing.

The part I thought was tragic in the DS story was the part where Dana told Conrad that she was pregnant and Conrad said something like "Why would you want a baby at such a young age?" and Dana said "I won't be lonely anymore." I'm afraid I didn't post the exact quotes, but that part really made me cry.

Like Brittney Spears would say, "Oops! I did it again". I forgot to set my timer to tape the speacials. All right for those of you who know me, you also know the drill. "Who taped it and how can I obtain a copy?"
