Did anybody see the Diff'rent Strokes Reunion Show that was on NBC monday night?

Not a bad show.  I never knew of all the crap that Gary Coleman's parents pulled on him.  No wonder he grew up with a chip on his shoulder.

I hardly watch network TV anymore.

That's underatandable, TV is not everybody's cup 'o' tea.

The world don't move to the beat of just one drum.  What might be right for you might just be wrong for some.

A Diff'rent Strokes reunion show?  What'chu talkin' 'bout LyricBoy? ;D

I didn't know about this, or I would have watched it.  Did they have most of the cast members as they were together?  Mrs. Garrett and Pearl?  What about Janet Jackson, Dixie Carter, Dudley or that little red headed kid that played Sam? ;D

  Me neither...

Ummm, what?  I just said I don't watch much network TV....which means no, I didn't see this. 


Did you think I was saying something else......?

Didn't see it. Is the guy who plays Mr. Drummond still alive?

I never watched the show....I either wasn't alive when it was on or too young to watch TV.

Seriously.  I've never seen that show.  I've heard of it, obviously....but I've never seen it.

You would have been 4 when it went off the air

Yup, too young to be watching anything but Sesame Street.

Like asking "Anybody see the trainwreck reunion show?"
:-\\

According to deadoraliveinfo.com, Conraid Bain is very much alive and kicking at 83. Considering the misfortunes that befell the younger cast members, I wonder how he avoided being cursed? 

BTW, I saw most of the NBC docu-drama. I realize that some of the drama was played up for entertainment's sake, but Gary's parents did come across as being a bit self-centered. It reinforced my belief that celebrity status can bring more harm than good to one's life. Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges can testify to that.

Yeah, I watched some of it.  It was kinda sad, kinda interesting and kinda hokey.

The actors they had playing Gary Coleman and Conrad Bain looked very similar.

They only had Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman.  The rest of the show was a documdrama/flashback kind of rig.

Gotta give credit to Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges.  They were very loyal to Dana Plato.  8)

I think the show must have been some sort of "unauthorized account" because they played this phony "Diffrent Strokes" theme song instead of the real thing.

I hope showbiz finally learns its lesson about the treatment of "child actors."
Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman are a couple of jerks, but I felt really sorry for Dana Plato.

I first met Todd during the height of the show's popularity.  And he was a complete jerk.  I talked to a friend that knew him even before the show came out, and he was a jerk back then too.  Every time i met him he seemed to have a huge chip on his shoulder, and thought that his fame could get him anything he wanted.  And yes, even in High School he was known as a druggie.

It was no surprise to me that he had his run-ins with the law later on.  At least he finally learned that fame means nothing when you are looking at a stretch in jail.  From everything I have heard, he has really cleaned up his act in the last 6 years, and is a totally different person.

Besides, anybody that beats up Vanilla Ice in the boxing ring now has my support.  8)

I did feel sorry for what happened to Dana Plato though.  To this day I refuse to listen to, or have anything to do with Howard Stern.  I still place a lot of the blame for her suicide on him and his ambushing of her the day before.

   Having listened to Dana Plato's final interview with Howard Stern, I can't see why you would hold him partly responsible...

   go ;)...

   

omg! was anybody from "hello larry" on it?!?!?!?!?!?!?

if so, it's literally the most important television of the last 25 years. if not, i TOTALLY don't care about it.

I hope when Howard Stern is a rickety old has-been he goes on the "Howard Stern" of that day, and gets "Howard Sterned"!
You know, in 20 years when the coveted 18 to 34 share is saying, "Howard who?"

The guy's a real dirtbag.  His defenders always say, "Oh, that's just an act, a schtick, he's not really like that, he's a nice guy."  Nah, what Marilyn Manson does is an act and a schtick.  Howard is a piece of scum.

Did you even listen to the Howard Stern Interview?  From my knowledge, it was the listeners who called in and "ambushed" her
