Series 3 of the huge 80s comedy hit Diff'rent Strokes features another 22 episodes spread over three discs. Originally screened in the USA in late 1980 and early 1981, this series was screened regionally in the UK on ITV typically around 5.15pm or 6.30pm on a weekday afternoon depending on your region. Episodes here were not screened in any particular order.
Lovong the show as a child in the early 80s, I cannot remember any of the episodes on this set, but I do recall seeing Kimberly (Dana Plato) in the opening titles parading down the stairs in her pink outfit.
The child stars of this show have had incredibly bad luck since the show ended in 1986 with the deaths of Gary Coleman (Arnold) and Dana Plato. Todd Bridges (Willis) has also had a bad run with being charged with murder, dealing in drugs and countless run-ins with the police. Not much is known of Canadian Conrad Bain (Phil Drummond) since leaving the show, but according to wikipedia, he's still with us.
The episodes on this set are
The Bank Job (1)
The Bank Job (2)
Small Claims Court
Substitute Mother
The Accident (1)
The Accident (2)
Little Mother
Football Father
First Love
Count Your Blessings
The Loan
Roots
Junk Food Junkie (aka Junk Food)
The Bus
The Older Man
Where There's Hope
The Magician (aka It's Magic)
Drummond's Fair Lady
The Ancestors
Almost American
Room for One More
The Athlete
Take a trip down Memory Lane and watch this set. If you've never seen the show, well you're in for a treat!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 6 looooooong years since Season 2 came out they are FINALLY putting another season out of this awesome classic 80's show. I have NO idea what takes these studios so long to put these out when more obsucre, less popular shows already have full season sets and complete series sets out there. I am part of a growing number of parents with elementary and teen children that are tired of all the raunchy, overly sexualized junk that is being constantly exposed to our children on television. It's wonderful to have access to good, clean, fun television prgramming! Let's thank Shout Factory for taking this one under their wing and let's hope they bring it to its full completion of the full 8 season run. Now THAT's WHAT I'm TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS!!!!!!!

I have seasons 1 & 2 of Diff'rent Strokes, and I watched them with my son who is now 13, but 10 at the time we got the DVDs. Would you believe he asked me, "Mom, I noticed that nobody cusses in these shows." Hmmmm...and he's right. Nowadays, the crap you see on tv is just too raunchy and over the top with sexual references, etc. Even something deemed PG is a bit much. Glad to see Diff'rent Strokes (my favorite late 70's-80's sitcom) has finally produced the 3rd season on DVD. Can't wait to get this! Season three is the start of the show taking off. I think once Edna Garrett left (and I LOVED her by the way) and they got the housekeeper named Adelaide; the show became a "must see" on Wednesday (NBC) nights!
