Diff'rent Strokes - THE MOVIE - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I strongly believe that a Diff'rent Strokes movie should be made (especially while Conrad Bain is still with us). It could go along the same lines as the recent Brady Bunch movies where the whole world has changed except for them. I urge any movie making company who may be reading this to take these comments seriously as a Diff'rent Strokes movie would be a huge worldwide success.

They have already made a TV movie out of it, so I don't think that another one has to be made. It was called Diff'rent Strokes: When The Laughter Stopped, and it aired on CBS I belive last year.

It aired on FOX not CBS. Same night FOX had a Brady Bunch movie too.

When I said that a movie should be made, I was talking about a big Hollywood version, not some cheap made-for-TV special.

I hope they don't make a movie cause the girl who played Kimberly is dead. It wouldn't be right making a movie without Kimberly. And I sure wouldn't watch the movie with another girl playing her cause that in my opinionm would be wrong!

well, the "After Diff'rent Strokes" movie was a cheesy tabloid-ish film. The original poster meant a reunion movie with the cast. If you wanna get to it and make it sad, you could base it on Kimberly's funeral, and Arnold, Willis, Sam, Mr. Drummond and Maggie (let's hope we'd have Dixie instead of Mary Ann Mobley tho) reunite. Or even take into consideration that Dana wasn't even in the 7th season and only appeared in a few 8th season episodes, that she's written out of it entirely.

it would be sorta hard to make a reunion show because of the fact that todd bridges is in jail again a dana plato KICKED THE BUCKET in '99.

Todd Bridges is not in jail- he just saved a lady on April 12, 2001 from dorwning, in CA while he and his brother were fishing.
