RIP Mr. Drummond, Arnold, Kimberly, Maggie, Mrs. Garrett, Adelaide, Aunt Sophia & Dudley's dad.

[@TheBlueMoonBoy]

Loved everyone making a massive reunion in this! Maybe this should've been the final episode. Would've been a nice way to end the show!

[@TheCleaner76]

3 of the 4 are dead, Willis would look very strange on his own

[@TheBlueMoonBoy]

@@TheCleaner76 No I meant as in this episode should've been the final one since the likes of Kimberly, Ms. Garett and the rest making a reunion here.

I agree, Aaron. Everyone's opinion is different but I didn't like the show as much when Maggie and Sam joined the cast.

Yes exactly you're absolutely right. Actually I was surprised to see them there. Expecially because they were no longer in the recent show. 😂 😂 😂.

This was epic seeing all the characters in this wedding episode Mrs. Garrett , Adelaide, Aunt Sophia, Charlene, Dudley & his Dad etc. It would be even more epic if the Facts of Life girls & the cast of Hello Larry made an appearance as well.

It has been told that working on the set of "Different Strokes" was the least favorite of Dixie's career, and she would never mention it. I wonder why she disliked it so fervently?

[@JSolo-ko9eh]

The show jumped the shark after Maggie and Sam came into the picture.

[@badgerden7080]

I agree. To be honest, I feel the series may have jumped the shark even before Maggie and Sam.

[@keonta81]

​@@badgerden7080right the ratings dropped and they brought them in to try to get them back up but it didn't help

[@tjames9698]

It was odd how only Phillip and Arnold were in the final episode, no Willis or Kimberly. Not even Pearl.

[@zt1053]

They probably didn't know the show would be cancelled

[@willisapril]

And Arnold and Phil would also be on the final episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Apparently Maggie thought Willis and Arnold were the Help

[@videox222ify]

I hate how she bosses them around and then gives Kimberly that charm necklace

[@TR5___]

I never like Maggie relationship with Willis & Arnold. Especially her relationship with Arnold. She was too bossy & too much of a step mother (even though she was going to be his step mother) & less of being an actual mom (warm & caring & supportive).

[@s0urpatchkiddo]

@@TR5___ literally. especially since Arnold was about 7 or 8 when his parents died, he hadn’t had a mother figure in so long :/

[@TR5___]

@@s0urpatchkiddo Exactly! Arnold has lost his mother at a very young age. He practically grew up without a mom. The only one who was close to being a mother figure to Arnold was Mrs. Garrett. Arnold needed a mother figure caring & understanding not bossy & pushy.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

@@TR5___ True, however Marie Ann Mobley whom would take over the role was a little nicer to them! Actually I read that Gary and Dixie didn't like each other in real life during her time on the show!🤔🧐😮🤷

[@johnoconnor6356]

I liked the episode where Maggie and Phil got back from their honeymoon, and then went to their reception, and made Arnode babysit Sam, and miss the party of the year that Dudley was having. But Arnold snuck off anyway, and when he got back to find Maggie and Phil waiting for them, and he said, "Hi there, folks!" and Phil replied, "Don't you Hi there folks me. Where have you been?" Also, in that episode, when Maggie asked him if they were right in not letting him go to the party, Phil replied, "There'll be other parties." But the girl, Dudley's cousin, who Arnold wanted to impress, would probably not be at those other parties.

[@videox222ify]

this is the final episode of Dana Plato as a regular cast member, the other eps from S6 after this one that she was in aired out of order and were before the wedding, there were also some episodes produced after the wedding for S6 after this one but she does not appear in those

[@tyliekinc.]

The episodes was the Boyfriend and the Houseguest. The Boyfriend was the last episode of Season 6

[@stephenholloway6893]

This was the last episode filmed of the season, the boyfriend one aired last.

Dixie Carter was brilliant.

[@badgerden7080]

She was brilliant in other series and shows, but not here. Great actress, just not on Different Strokes.

[@wandadeaton9532]

Where is they a food place in scotburg in

[@MichaelBrookham]

I did notice something. All of the guests arrived. They didn't seem to invite the Gordons, who was Kathy's family. Kathy, of course, was the little girl in the wheelchair, who was a good friend of Arnold's. Her mother was a good friend of Phillip's. Kathy, however, appeared in a later episode in Season 6, so we can just assume that the family was away during the wedding.

[@Lozza144]

What episode is this

[@randallreiter9679]

I just wish Mary Ann Mosbey was Maggie from the beginning. Her character was better and she had a better relationship with Arnold. Part of it was probably Gary Coleman got along with Mary Ann Mosbey, and he and Dixie carter did not.

[@kellymcfalls1458]

Randall Reiter regardless of how the actors got along in real life I much prefer Dixie Carter as Maggie actors often are great on. screen but don’t get along with each other off camera I heard that about the couple that played on the Jeffersons couldn’t stand each other

NBC should have ended the show here. Seasons 7 and 8 were unwatchable.

[@kaitiscarlett9022]

Yes, they were. Worst character additions ever.

[@willisapril]

They canceled the show a year later and then ABC picked it up for one year with the fake Maggie.

[@queen_of_domination]

She wasn’t a good fit for this show. She was made for Designing Women though. NOBODY could pull off Julia Sugarbaker like Ms. Dixie. I also hated the Sam character. I never thought that he was cute. He was absolutely obnoxious and was totally unnecessary (similar to the Seven character on Married with Children).
