In my opinion Diff'rent Strokes should have ended at the end of the NBC run. So this series had laready worn out it's welcome and didn't need to say good-bye. Good riddance would have been more appropriate!!

I beg to differ.

It should have ended with an episode that had the characters moving on to hopefully good or happy endings. Too bad.

I wish that they had taken time to do a better sendoff. They sure took time to modernize the set which I liked.
