Guide Note

Diff'rent Strokes was a sitcom about two young boys (Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges) from Harlem who are adopted by a rich widower named Philip Drummond. Living in the Penthouse with Drummond's daughter (Dana Plato) and the family's maid, the two boys are forced to adjust to their new life of wealth and luxury. The show was a ratings hit and helped make many of the actors stars, although many of the actors went on to have personal troubles after the show was canceled.
