Been watching Diff'rent Strokes...

 Because I finally found the series in English and this is important, since I only saw the Spanish dub as a child. I unlocked some memories I didn't want to. Like how kid me had a crush on Dana Plato but Season 1's wardrobe and haor stylists did her dirty. It also made me realize that some of the jokes were lost in translation and went over my head as a kid... 

I also noticed how in your face the issues of racism were. With Willis being used as a mouthpiece to show the well-meaning, but ridiculously clueless Mr. Drummond how things worked in the real world for black people without the racial and economic privileges Mr.D has. 

I guess that's why the Spanish dub changed the shows title to Blanco y Negro (White and Black). Kinda carries the same message as Diff'rent Strokes, but it's more in your face about the contrast.

I don't think the show would be able to be made today.  Two episodes come to mind: the one where the Maytag guy (most likely) molested Dudley. The one where Arnold and Kimberly were kidnapped and she was almost raped. But those are not the main reason. It's the whole "White Man taking two Black kids from Harlem to live with him at Park Avenue.' The whole 'White Savior' theme would make the slacktivists go "Reeeeeeee!"

So, this is the part where you say: "I want Diff'rent Strokes Ultimates!" You know you wanna. I know you want a Mrs. Garrett Figure I know I do.

Whatchu' talking 'bout, Dingus? He totally wants Kimberly. Didn't you hear he had a crush on her as a kid?

Nah, it's Arnold who he wants. Maybe Willis to use as bases for Syrus and Bertram respectively.

Uh, can't I just want Diff'rent Strokes Ultimates because I like Diff'rent Strokes? 

And your requests for Fresh Cuck and now Diff'rent Strokes aren't related at all? Right... 

Uhh. Just because Arnold and Mr. Drummond had a cameo on Fresh Cuck doesn't mean those wants are related or are you gonna claim I want a Donald Trump figure because he appeared on Fresh Cuck of Belair?

He wants a Trump because of the KMart photo, Ash. Or was it the Stuffed Crust Pizza? 

I don't want a Trump Figure, nor Bush, nor Biden, Nor Obama, nor Bush Sr... I May want a Bill Clinton figure for Sax action reasons, not Cigar dildos... but if I HAVE to take a Republican as well, I'll take Donald. He would have tons of action figure fast food. Also, the It Came from the Toy Chest would be so awkward, since he's the one who has mortally wounded my blog. Also, me being (allegedly) conceived on the back of a Kmart has nothing to do with Trump. That's not the topic at hand! I'm discussing Diff'rent Strokes!

Dry, lubed, slow, fast... what?

Tell me you didn't just say that... you are as mature as a 13 year old boy.

Says the 43 year old writer who writes my lines, for I am fictional. So it's your maturity that is being questioned here. 

Quit breaking the 4th wall, Pinkie Pie! But to answer the "Ultimates question" if the Truno Tariffs (thanks Trump) weren't there and we somehow ended up with Diff'rent Strokes Ultimates I'd get Mr. Drummond, Arnold, Kimberly, Willis, and Mrs. Garret. I still need to rematch later episodes to see if I warm up to Sam, his Mom, and the non-Garret Housekeepers. Also, S7 would need to make both Earlier Seasons Kimberly and Willis and Later seasons versions, for they grew in size. Not a jab against the late Gary Oldman's condition, but if they make later characters like Sam, then it wouldn't make sense to have a Season 8 Sam and a Season 1 Kimberly.

He keeps using Kimberly. Told ya.

Shut up! Or Season 1 Willis, happy now?
