Does anyone know if "Diff'rent Strokes" is airing on any network ?

only on a local upn station called WKBD.
If you go to tv.excite.com and type in Diffrent Strokes itll give listings for upcoming eps.
Unfortunetly i dont get the station.

That URL wouldn't work, but I went to clicktv.com, and it came up ! Unfortunately, for me, Diff'rent Strokes comes on at 6:30 in the morning, but that's okay ! Thanks for the help !

there is a huge petition on the "Diff'rent Strokes online" page, which is maintained by the same guy who brought us FOL Online. The petition is to try to get DS shown on cable, particularly NAN or TV Land.

If Nick at Nite got the rights to air Diff'rent Strokes, it would be FOL all over again.

All the episodes everyone wants to see would never be aired, and the shows would be chopped all to pieces.

The "Arnold and the pedophile" episode would never see the light of day again as long as N@N had the show. Maybe on TV land, but not Nick at Nite.

Nick at Nite is EVIL!

I agree, but still.. Diff'rent Strokes has been out of syndication in most areas for over 5 years. It is one of the most missed shows of the late 70's/early 80's. Tho I do agree that they would probably skip the Pedophile episode, as well as the ones where they try drugs (bad move on Todd Bridges' part), the one where Kimberly becomes a bulimic, etc.... And I bet they'd show more Sam episodes than anyone else would.

Still, NAN would be better than nothing considering Diff'rent Strokes is so rarely seen anymore.

But youd never be able to read the names of guest stars on the end credits due to those rotten split credits.Even Odessey has started it now.
