as I remember Different Strokes....

was a revamped version of another show what was
the show about it had
Mr Drumond in it but
it floped and they revamped the show and called it different
strokes what was that
show ?

I think you're talking about 'Maude', an early-70s show which had Ester Rolle who would end up on 'Good Times'. Don't know much more about the show. I saw the end of one episode just recently and Conrad Bain was in it and I think he was a 'Mr. Drummond'. Can anyone else take over from here?

no IM not talking about
Maude i m talking
about a year before Different Strokes come on
the guy that played MR
Drumond had a show it did
poorly so they revamped
it and called it Diffrent
Strokes he was on
Maude but not as Mr Drummond what was the
show that was revamped
into Different Strokes I
never watched it.

I think your mistaken vidking. Conrad Bain had only appeared on one other sitcom (Maude) before he got Diff'rent Strokes.

Diff'rent Strokes was a completely unique idea, that's what it made it so popular at its' start.
