Diff’rent Strokes Synopsis

Diff’rent Strokes is a family-friendly sitcom in which a pair of brothers from Harlem, Arnold and Willis Jackson (Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges, respectively), are adopted by a rich white man named Phillip Drummond (Conrad Bain).

Now the Jacksons live in a penthouse with Phillip, his daughter Kimberly (Dana Plato), and one of the series’ three maids. Each week a new lesson is learned and some light comedy is had.

Diff’rent Strokes is known for its catchphrase “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” and for spinning off one of the maids, Edna Garrett (Charlotte Rae), into her own sitcom, The Facts of Life.
