Diff'rent Strokes is a good show. I just dont't think it will tower over FOL like Three's Company did!!!

I agree..I might even start taping it.

did anyone notice the director in "Mr T and mr t" was the same actor who was Mrs. Garrett's son on FOL?

I watched the episode with Blair and Nat in it. It was so wierd to see them on a different show and without the other girls! Also, did you notice that the guy who played Kimberly's date in that episode was the same guy who played Bill on FOL?

I really like it to I only saw one episode cause I watched The Divison and I taped the episode with nat and Blair in it but I have'nt seen it yet.

I think Different Strokes will over tower Facts of Life. Don't get me wrong, I still love Facts of Life but Different Strokes (I believe) won a lot of viewers last night.

Well, all I know is...Dana Plato's resemblence to Melissa Gilbert is uncanny....

I never though about that. You are sooo right.

I saw that too they do look alike.DS was ok,It does not beat the facts of life at all,I guess its just because Whaching Dana Plato felt kind of weird,Knowing that she is dead and how she died,took all the fun out of it.

JohnMcMillin · 03-06-2001, 02:54 AM

I agree somewhat about Dana. It is kinda sad seeing the Family On Ice episode, where she says that one day, she's gonna make something important out of herself, then knowing that she died.

But... I don't focus on Dana's death and Todd Bridges' legal troubles when I watch the show. It is sad knowing what happened to their careers after this show, but it is a great sitcom if you watch the sitcom and just think of them as right there instead of 5-10 years later.

Thank you for solving that mystery for me. The whole time I was watching that episode I kept thinking I know this guy from some other show.
