Diff'rent Strokes: Season 3

My granddaughter loves the show she is 10 years old, And was absolutely superstoked. A big smile from ear to ear.I gave her the entire collection for Christmas

Season 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.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 areThe Bank Job (1)The Bank Job (2)Small Claims CourtSubstitute MotherThe Accident (1)The Accident (2)Little MotherFootball FatherFirst LoveCount Your BlessingsThe LoanRootsJunk Food Junkie (aka Junk Food)The BusThe Older ManWhere There's HopeThe Magician (aka It's Magic)Drummond's Fair LadyThe AncestorsAlmost AmericanRoom for One MoreThe AthleteTake a trip down Memory Lane and watch this set. If you've never seen the show, well you're in for a treat!

I mean the above title to be of utmost sincerity, as Arnold, Willis & Kimberly begin to hit puberty during Season Three of "Diff'rent Strokes". This season, the children experience growing pains, as Willis becomes seriously interested in girls, Arnold becomes concerned about his height & Kimberly prefers dating older men. One of the funniest episodes this season is "Junk Food Junkie", where Arnold develops a fetish for edible items that do a body bad. Arnold becomes depressed when he learns he won't grow to be much taller than his prescribed height in the episode "Count Your Blessings". There are lots of great episodes & laughs in this third season of "DS". Gary Coleman, Dana Plato & Todd Bridges have matured in their respective roles, & Conrad Bain's Mr. Drummond is just as provincial & warm-hearted as ever. This season marks Nedra Volz's first full season as housekeeper Adelaide Brubaker. Volz's character is a nice addition to the Drummond family, as her sassy wit & charm wins everybody over - myself included. "Diff'rent Strokes - The Complete Third Season" is sure to be a hit in your all-important DVD collection for everyone in your family, so pick it up ASAP!R.I.P., Conrad Bain, Gary Coleman, Dana Plato & Nedra Volz.

Been waiting patiently for many years for every season to be released before I started adding this show to my collection. I love 80s sitcoms and I since I finally own every season of "The Facts of Life" after waiting many years. So I decided I'd just wait until each and every season of Diff'rent Strokes to get a release date at least before I started purchasing and now The Final Season is set to be released in May finally. So I decided to catch up now and I am very happy and excited that I can finally watch this show again over and over anytime I want now. Thank God and thank u so much Shout Factory for finally getting this great gem from my fondest childhood memories released on DVD.

Great show

This is one of those shows that was very popular when I was growing up, and I liked it and watched it all the time. I've seen it in reruns many times over the years, so I wasn't in a rush to buy the dvds. The first season is probably my least favorite, although there are good episodes that I like in that one too. This is one of those shows that I think got better as it got into the second and third seasons.Some memorable episodes, and some of my favorites, of the series are in this season: the bank robbery; when Arnold is addicted to junk food; Mr. Drummond getting amnesia; Arnold meeting Cathy. There are also some guest appearances from a few of the girls from The Facts of Life-Natalie, Tootie, and Blair.I hope more seasons of Diff'rent Strokes are released. I'd like to even see the Sam years again.

i enjoy watching this show and they don't make today's shows this good anymore.

First of all I'd like to thank Shout Factory for releasing Diff'rent Strokes season 3 but why isn't the English For The Hearing Impaired option finally available on the language section? I mean it wasn't on seasons 1 & 2 either when Sony released them but I thought Shout Factory would have noticed the problem and would have done their best to include subtitles... I'm not speaking for myself I'm not deaf but I know some people who are and who would have been glad to be able to watch the show on DVD too... So please include subtitles on season 4 if you can thanks very much for listening!

No it did not sadly because I haven't got to watch it due to being a region 1 DVD and not customed for a regular English DVD player. Buying it on amazon uk, it should have being made clear it wasn't suitable for watching in England. Though when my brought the second series it played normally, so I didn't expect to have problems with the following series.

I was looking for a series that is funny, with no swearing and more of a literal kind of funny for my Aspergers son. This is perfect!! He has laughed non stop and even started to stop swearing.. Couldn't ask for more 😃

very pleased

Excellent quality,bringing lots of laughter to my children as they did to me back in the day.Recommended for all ages

Quite a long delivery time, but very happy with DVD.
