The Nancy Reagan guest spot on Diff'rent Strokes...any thoughts?

When you first saw the episode, what ran into your head watching? Was it, "My God, what is this woman doing here?" or "Trying to earn a buck from her guest spot?" Anyway, did you thought the episode was pointless and really irrelevant to the whole plot of the series. Your thoughts...

anyone who says that back in '83 that her appearance was corny is full of "ish."

then again, i was 5 years old then. what did i know then? for the posters that were older than i was then, perhaps it was a lame appearance. for me it was "Nancy and Arnold - this is cool."

I don't think the episode was *that* politically biased but i don't remember much of it. Lisa did say she was a Republican, i do remember that...so yes, i take it back, it must be pretty biased. That comment is too much! What a clever communication ploy it is to appear in a show watched by millions of people...
The basic topic of that episode was the "just say no to drugs" campaign, right?
