Diff'rent Strokes - Complete Season 1 [DVD] [2008]

Season one of diff'rent strokes. Over 9 hours of episodes. The casting, writing and characters are superb. Willis and Arnold have great chemistry and are full of zany antics, the show focuses in on their adjustment from rags to riches. Conrad Bain plays the stern but loving father and Kimberly is his sweet natured daughter. The show is set in New York and takes place mostly inside the home. The show has some serious points to make about race and the changing nature of families in 1980s America, it never gets preachy though. A lot of the episodes are based around a secret the two boys try unsuccessfully to keep, sometimes for noble reasons and sometimes not. The characters are all usually a little wiser at the end.I could only find season 1 on region 2 but I was still pleased to find this at all. All in all there are 24 episodes.

Came on time but i am knocking two stars because i got charged 4.40 euro stamp duty that was not mentioned when i bought the product

I enjoyed each and every episode in order,from 1-24 also watching it with subtitles helped me soak up everyword of dialogue.Enjoyed the extras as well,which were commentary on 2 episodes on each disk and a short remembering Strokes feature.I enjoyed the scenes between all the main characters especially Arnold's catchphrase "what choo talkin about?"and the face he pulls before during and after.I already have Series 2 delivered unlike Brexit this is really worth it.

i bought this DVD to finally show my grandkids the source of the saying "What you talking about Willis?" which so many people still quote in many scenarios. it is some what dated (as you would expect) the concept of poor kids lifted into wealth more than a fantasy but the humour still holds up well & the grandkids loved it! it still raises todays issues which show we have not learned everything yet.

It's spot on everything and it's a classic I like watching the old classic comedies it's a season that they only season 1 in UK and the rest in us oh well I have to wait and see and its all good fun for the family

Love it

Ordered this dvd after watching a You Tube clip that someone posted on Facebook.I have not laughed so much in ages, I remember this programme from when I was a little girl, Gary Coleman and the rest of the cast have a special place in my child hood memories.If you want a laugh order this dvd."Watcha' talking about Willis!"

This is still a classic and I bought it for my 12 year old daughter, because I was always joking with her about the 'What you talkin about Willis' catchphrase and she wanted to see what I was going on about! It is a bit dated, obviously. However still has plenty of laughs and its a good one to watch with all the family.
