Diff'rent Strokes : Fan Favorites

There’s nothing black and white about the second season of “Diff’rent Strokes.” The writers continued to explore race relations through comedy, and they broke new ground with the memorable two-part episode “The Adoption” that, to this day, remains a television classic. And in “Arnold’s Hero,” Muhammad Ali visits a dying Arnold. The only problem: Arnold isn’t sick. Will the surprised champ “sting like a bee”? Join tycoon Philip Drummond (Conrad Bain), plus Arnold (Gary Coleman) and Willis (Todd Bridges) as the sons of his late housekeeper from Harlem, and his daughter Kimberly (Dana Plato) as they negotiate the stumbling blocks and stepping stones of building a new family built on love.
