2 releases of the show in 4 months? Will you buy season 4? Something is telling me to wait because I only purchased season 3 and feel that seasons 5 and 6 will be out in 2013. Or the show should be complete by 2014. So I think I will try and wait for a complete series set so the show seem to be picking up the season releases

No waiting. Buy it to assure more releases!

And then get played like a fool in 2014 when the series set is released

Pavan · 08-13-2012, 08:08 PM

Well if you already have seasons 1-3, aren't you a fool already?

I have my doubts that Diff'rent Strokes is going to get a complete series release. Even if it does what extras could it possibly include. There was never a pilot for the series and half of the main cast members are deceased so it means very little in way of interviews. I already have my Season 4 set preordered and I encourage others to do the same. Even though Shout is pretty good at completing series they also aren't afraid to pull the plug if one sells poorly.

Not sure why you think that when it's been happening for the past 7 years.

I'll more than likely get them all at once - the first four that are out.

TVFactFan · 08-15-2012, 04:26 PM

Well hopefully all fans buy the show so I can buy the series on DVD

I definitely plan to buy seasons 3 and 4. I already have the first 2.

BigManMike · 10-09-2012, 10:14 AM

I don't have any yet, but Best Buy has Season 1 of Diff'rent Strokes for only $10 and also some other first seasons of Sony shows as well. I will try to get it before it goes off sale on November 3. I plan to get Seasons 2, 3, and 4 as well probably when I get some Christmas money, maybe before if they go on sale somewhere else.
