Didnt Different Strokes air on Wednesday? When was it pre-empted on Mondays?

PrettyinPink55 · 06-09-2013, 01:50 PM

No because All in the Family airs on Wednesdays now. And I also found out tonight is the last episode of the series and I won't get to see it since I will be watching the game.

I will try and see if I can record it on the other TV

I didn't much care for the later seasons, so I'm happy they are going back to the early seasons.

I didn't like the first half of season 1

Solomon, I was going to tell you about Different Strokes going back to the beginning. I didnt know if you knew or not. DS took a while to show the whole series but it wasnt that bad because it was on a lot. I think a show like Benson, will take forever to get through the whole run because its only on an hour a week.

I will try to flick back and forth tonight when the last ep of season 8 comes on depending on how the game is around that time.

I think Forrest Whitaker is in that episode

Solomon is never satisfied with anything. Get with the times and record it! Stop bickering when it is YOUR FAULT. Do you think Antenna TV cares if the NBA playoffs are against Diff'rent Strokes? Out of your mind, as usual.

I can record but that means I lose internet service for 30 mins and the ep is not worth all that

Willis had a attitude problem and the show during that period was all about both of the boys struggling to make the transition from Harlem to Park Ave

Yeah, I much prefer the episodes when the boys were more settled as well. But it's realistic that they showed they were struggling to make the transition at first. Understandably anyone would have trouble with their situation.
I also think it's realistic that Willis was more reluctant than Arnold to accept his new surroundings because he was older and it made sense.
I like when they're one big happy family, though.

That's one of the main reasons why I didn't buy season 1 on DVD lol

PrettyinPink55 · 06-10-2013, 12:23 AM

I didn't like the steroids episode, especially not as the last episode. No Willis, No Maggie, No Kimberly, even No Pearl lol. I take it that they didn't know that would be the last episode when they were filming it?
