Arnold Jackson Everywhere

[icecream]

There are at least three shows Arnold Jackson appeared on. Diff'rent Strokes of course being the main one and a crossover on spin-off The Facts of Life. Yesterday I saw the last few minutes of Silver Spoons waiting for Too Close for Comfort, had forgotten Arnold was in an early Silver Spoons as well. Are there any other shows besides those three that Gary Coleman appeared as Arnold?

He was in a crossover episode with Hello, Larry, the un-memorable McLean Stevenson sitcom.

I thought of that too, but those crossover episodes with Hello, Larry were episodes of Diff'rent Strokes. They were produced in an attempt to boost ratings for Hello, Larry.

The second half of the two part crossovers were originally Hello, Larry episodes on NBC (the first parts were DS episodes on NBC). The second parts were folded into the DS syndication package.

Gotcha. Now that you mention that it does kind of sound familiar. Thanks for the correction.

Not many people probably saw the Hello, Larry second parts on NBC. More would have seen them on a DS rerun later.

Right. I probably never saw Hello, Larry on NBC. I was in diapers then.
