Diff'rent Strokes



Comedy series /sitcom, 189 ep in 8 seasons
-Year: 1978-1986
-Year in film: 1970s, 80s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Arnold 10, Willis 13 yo ?, girl
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: low ?
-Rating:  5/10 ?
-Rating: *****
-Comment: At least Gary Coleman (1968-2010) as main character Arnold  in blue bibs and a girl in red bibs (pictured), probably also Todd Bridges (in blue bibs?) Maybe some more actors?

I found this publicity pic of I think Todd Bridges (Josh Foster in "The Waltons", see also that series entry and also in LHOTP) some time ago during research, but first couldn't find any episodes with bibs, but recently searched a bit and found this 2 episodes (dead image link TVland removed).

4th pic from s4e7 (?) on Adelaid's farm, 2nd pic from s3e5, 2nd pic from s2e2, pic 4 from s5e4. Pic 3 from s 7e24.

I don't know/don't remember this series. Obviously a typical comedy series of the 70s. There are some more, maybe better series.

If anybody knows some better episode and other actors/actresses/women in bibs, please comment.

Rating 5 for now.

Update also at least one man (painter) in white bibs in s8e1.

Update 2: Also 7 or 8yo Joey Lawrence in s5e4.

Update 3: Arnold in hickory striped bibs and cap in s5e21, pic 1

Update 4: 9 yo Danny Cooksey in blue bibs in s7e22

Update 5 (Sorry, pic missing): 13 yo Mindy Cohn in light blue bibs, girl in dark blue shortalls s2e22, s1e22

Update 6: 9yo Danny Cooksy in blue bibs in s7e24, rating 3
