Recently Started Rewatching

[RaisedByTV]

My new quarantine hobby is rewatching my favorite shows from childhood. This was definitely one of them, but what a pleasure to rewatch this one from the start (I’m only on season 4 now). There’s a lot of mixed emotions as I watch: the cuteness of the child actors, the sadness of knowing what the actors went through in their lives, realizing that I was much too young and innocent to understand the social undertones of the show, but remembering the lessons from their “very special episodes”.

I’m glad that I found this site and look forward to reading these posts and posting along with you! Maybe I’ll see you in the Facts of Life, Too Close for Comfort and other boards for shows that I have begun rewatching.

Stay safe!

Welcome aboard. You are welcome to come to the Facts of Life board. It's fairly active. Of course, there would not have been the Facts of Life without Different Strokes.

Welcome to the boards. I found this site in 2002 and was hooked from the start. I watched Different Strokes today when Arnold went on a date with Diane and Dudley interrupted the date

I watched that episode recently too and it just made me laugh. I don’t think that I ever saw that episode or really many of the early episodes. I always thought that Dudley was just as adorable as Arnold.

I tend to like the earlier seasons when they were all younger. Seeing Dixie Carter doesn’t interest me.

The seasons with Adelaide are my favorite

She was better than that horrible replacement Mary Ann Mobley. She and the boy who played Sam is what killed this show to me.

I liked Edna the best but yeah Adelaide was good I didn’t like Pearl it wasn’t entertaining at all to see her in my opinion.
