Different Strokes

The Diff'rent Strokes TV show was a comedy series about a wealthy white man who promised his dying afro-american housekeeper that he would raise her two sons as his own after her death. Unlike other similarly themed shows (single guy becomes daddy), Philip Drummond was eager to take on this responsibility! Overnight the two young boys were transported from their home in a Harlem ghetto to their new lives in a beautiful Park Avenue apartment. They even had a housekeeper and Mr. Drummond's daughter became their new sister. Then in February of 1984, they even got a new mother and brother when Mr. Drummond married Maggie McKinney and she and her son joined their family.
