Will they ever make a "Diff'rent Strokes" movie? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I must admit that I cringe whenever I think of them making a full-length movie based on "Diff'rent Strokes." But that doesn't stop me from wondering who they'd cast. Most likely they'd pick two unknowns for Arnold and Willis. Maybe get Kathy Kinney ("Drew Carey") as Mrs. Garrett. And don't ask me why, but I see Steve Martin as Mr. Drummond.

But that doesn't bother me as much as a possible reality tv show based on the show. That's all we need. A real-life version of "Diff'rent Strokes." Have a real-life white millionaire adopt two black kids from Harlem. You may think that it's impossible but trust me, there are people out there who would do it in a minute. And that's enough for me to say, "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout?"

They're already making a Diff'rent Strokes movie. A tv movie based on the behind the scenes stuff, as opposed to simply a movie version of Diff'rent Strokes. The boy who played the youngest son on the Tracey Morgan show will portray Gary Coleman.
