I just noticed a video game connection to the show itself(GTA: Vice City)... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think the commercial break of "Just The Five Of Us" was a take on Diff'rent Strokes. When Timmy says that he is 22, I think it is a take on Gary Coleman's age as Arnold. And when the stuffy and dignified actor appears in the commercial and K-chat, I believe it is a spoof on Conrad Bain's character. Not to mention trying to sound perfectly articulate. While the other two characters have no connection to the show, they even mention a special episode where a woman tries to steal Jimmy, I believe it's a take on the episode, "The Older Woman". You know, I possibly shouldn't try to connect any of these small connections at all, but I thought if maybe Rockstar are fans of the show, Diff'rent Strokes. Just wondering...
