The Opening Credits for Season 1 doesn't match the first episode at all - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The ending of the Opening credits shows Mr. D and the boys entering the APT building and shouldn't the first ep shown them entering the APT with those outfits on instead of Mr. Drummond WAITING for them to show up????-lol

Yep. Is that a coincidence or what?

GARFIELDKOOL · 05-30-2008, 11:27 PM

I noticed this years ago. No, it doesn't match, because Drummond was scared to go to Harlem, Willis in the pilot doesn't like his new surroundings, and in the opening credits, he looks like he couldn't wait to get to the penthouse.

And Mikel, yes, it is a lot like the Jeffersons opening. DS is not a Norman Lear show, but it had Norman's staff working on this show, so there is the connection.

Why was the title DIFF'RENT Strokes spelled in that manner? Why not just DIFFERENT?

TVFactFan · 05-30-2008, 11:30 PM

The only difference between the Jeffersons and the Diffrent Strokes opening credits is WILLIS AND ARNOLD was not scared to MOVE UP like WEEZY-lol

I don't know, but it is a pain typing DIFF'RENT because of the hyphen. LOL

Weezy wasn't scared to move up, she was just too proud.

Why was she trembling in the cab then?

She was crying, not trembling.
