Diff'rent Strokes: Complete First Season [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Love this it’s so good

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.

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

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.

product is excellent,postage is very,very expensive which may discourage me to buy in the future as i think it's very unfair that UK have free postage or at least an affordable rate.i'm sure there are couriers that would give a better deali would recommend other to buy this product if postage/courier were not as expensive

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!"

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 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.

See above. No issues, well satisfied with purchase.

Schön das es die Serie noch gibt, habe sie in den 80'gern in den USA im TV gesehen!

'Diff'rent Strokes' was my favorite show growing up because it was extremely funny and all of the characters were very likable and interesting. I haven't seen the series since it was on Nick at Nite & TV Land, a few years ago. It's unfortunate that it is no longer on TV. But I was very glad to pick up this DVD set of the first season. It includes twenty-four, full and uncut episodes (more than most sitcoms) from the 1978 - 1979 season.Here's all the episodes included in this set with the original air dates:Movin' In (November 3, 1978)Millionaire Philip Drummond ('Maude' star Conrad Bain) welcomes 8-year-old Arnold Jackson (Gary Coleman) and his 13-year-old brother Willis (Todd Bridges) into his New York penthouse. Mr. Drummond tries to make his new sons feel at home with the help of his daughter, Kimberly (played by the late Dana Plato) and his housekeeper (future 'Facts Of Life' star Charlotte Rae) Mrs. Garrett. Arnold also utters his trademark catch-phrase, "whatchya talkin' about Willis" for the first time in this episode.The Social Worker (November 10, 1978)Arnold's big ears cause him to misinterpret Drummond's conversation with Mrs. Garrett. And, Arnold convinces Willis that Mr. Drummond doesn't want them around. It's all cleared up though when their new family comes to pick them up.Mother's Last Visit (November 17, 1978)The title of this episode should be 'Mother's Only Visit' because this is the only time Mr. Drummond's busybody mother makes an appearance. When Grandma Drummond finds out about her two adopted grandsons she faints in front of them prompting the boys to tell Drummond that she isn't happy to have them around.Prep School (November 24, 1978)When Mr. Drummond tries to get Arnold and Willis into his former prep school it turns out to be a valuable lesson in bigotry.The Spanking (December 1, 1978)Arnold is extra mischievous in this episode when he drops a homemade water balloon from the penthouse balcony on the apartment handyman. Mr. Drummond decides to give Arnold a spanking but resists when Willis convinces Drummond that his big brother should do it. Willis quickly learns that it isn't easy dishing out punishment.Goodbye Dolly (December 8, 1978)Arnold flips out when Kimberly sells his favorite stuffed doll at a charity event. Mr. Drummond enlists the help of a P. I. to track down Arnold's furry friend.The Trial (December 15, 1978)Willis sets up Arnold to take the rap so that he can prove to Drummond that fair trials are hard to come by. This episode is a total 'Brady Bunch' rip-off, but in my opinion 'Diff'rent Strokes' got it better because it was funnier and more believable.Retrospective (1) (December 29, 1978)This is a flashback episode with the boys and Mr. Drummond and Kimberly and Mrs. Garrett. The opening credits for this episode are different, it shows Arnold and Willis' bedroom with the 'Diff'rent Strokes' logo and the theme song is shorter. Originally aired as a one hour episode.Retrospective (2) (December 29, 1978)This is second half of the retrospective episode. The opening credits for this episode are the standard opening credits.The Fight (January 5, 1979)Poor Arnold gets a black eye when he tries to go up against The Gooch at the insistence of Willis. Fans of 'Diff'rent Strokes' will recall The Gooch as the bully who Arnold mentions many tims throughout the series (Carmella finally beats him up) but he is never actually seen.The Club Meeting (January 12, 1979)Willis invites his friends from his former neighborhood over to show off.The Woman (January 19, 1979)Drummond's intention to marry a widow doesn't sit well with his children. They scheme to make his proposal a disaster.No Time for Arnold (January 26, 1979)Arnold has a new attention-seeking device that is sure to get the attention of everyone in his household. He starts 'wetting' the bed only until he is revealed to be a phony that only is seeking a little attention from his family.The Relative (February 2, 1979)LaWanda Page claims to be Willis and Arnold's cousin who overstays her welcome in their penthouse apartment.The Tutor (February 9, 1979)Mr. Drummond hires a tutor for Arnold and Willis who doesn't do his job very well.The New Landlord (February 16, 1979)The kids hatch a scheme to try to persuade the new landlord to allow the family to keep their penthouse.Willis' Privacy (February 23, 1979)Another 'Brady Bunch' rip-off...Willis is sick of Arnold so he divides his room in half only to realize how much he really loves his bother.Mrs. Garrett's Crisis (March 2, 1979)Unfulfilled with her life Mrs. Garrett makes an important decision regarding her future.The Job (a.k.a.) Willis' Job (March 16, 1979)In order to earn the money to buy disco skates, and to prove a point to Drummond, Willis gets a job...but is fired on his first day!The Trip (1) (March 30, 1979)The casts of 'Diff'rent Strokes' and 'Hello, Larry' get together in a special, hilarious hour in which Phillip Drummond realizes that the purchase of a Portland radio station could mean the loss of a job for his old friend Larry Alder.The Trip (2) (March 30, 1979)The casts of 'Diff'rent Strokes' and 'Hello, Larry' get together in a special, hilarious hour in which Phillip Drummond realizes that the purchase of a Portland radio station could mean the loss of a job for his old friend Larry Alder.Getting Involved (April 6, 1979)When Arnold is witness to a hold up, the robber tries to ensure that the youngster will not identify him.Willis' Birthday (April 13, 1979)At first Willis is disapointed to learn that his family has forgotten his birthday. But, he soon discovers that not only has his family remembered but they have planned a party in his old neighborhood in Harlem.The Girls School (a.k.a.) Garrett's Girls (May 4, 1979)This is the original pilot of what was to become 'The Facts Of Life.' Mrs. Garrett visits Kimberly's school (East Lake, in 'The Facts Of Life' called East Land) and has a run-in with the school's pushy principal. Also introduced are future 'The Facts Of Life' costars: Nancy, Sue Ann, Tootie, and stuck-up Blair.I can't wait for Season Two of 'Diff'rent Strokes' to be released on DVD. I also can't wait for 'The Facts Of Life' to make its DVD debut! Both are classic sitcoms that are greatly missed.

1976年から1986年まで続いていた（再放送も）名作です。やっとソフト化されて観る事ができました。全部で588分の3枚組。アーノルド（ゲーリー・コールマン）を始め、懐かしい顔ぶれです。惜しむらくは日本語版ではないので日本放送時の「冗談は顔だけにしろよ！」のニュアンスが違ったりする事です。あと、リージョンは１ですので対応のプレイヤーが必要です。対応プレイヤーをお持ちでしたら是非お勧めします。英語は早口でもないので勉強にもなると思いますが、観ていると本当に笑えます。番組終了後、コールマンは州知事に立候補したり、いろいろありましたが、個人的にはキンバリー（ダナ・プレイトウ）のご冥福をお祈りいたします。
