Holy crap I bet many people don’t realize this but that’s the dad from the first gremlins

[@GPHEnterprises]

Sam's dad is Billy's dad in gremlins

[@graymoreghost]

Oh yes, that's right! I forgot

[@benjamanmelvin2746]

Hoyt Axton

[@ericvarca4992]

Love how Arnold is standing there waiting for an introduction and looking awkward!

[@RobertoLopez-xb1mj]

Sam McKinney was the Little Opie of the 1980s.

[@mollybrolly4717]

Any man would've K.O this clown for speaking like that of THEIR WIFE, IN THE NEW HUBBY'S HOME IN FRONT OF HIS KIDS!!!....

[@bfettrules1239]

That’s cuz he’s was sick with lack-o-testicle-itis.

[@tjames9698]

Sam killed the show.

[@joshualazenby1387]

Totally agreed

[@Spillers72]

He's the Oliver and Scrappy Doo of Diff'rent Strokes.

[@kathconserv]

He was alright.

[@raymondsolisjr.1262]

Dixie Carter was a great addition but the other Maggie wasn't

[@MrLionelg33]

​@@raymondsolisjr.1262 true that

[@yasminvaughn2975]

Mr Drummond did the right thing when he let Sam stay with his dad for the weekend.

[@kaitiscarlett9022]

Sam = shark jump :(

[@simonmarshall19]

Sam was a redhead version of Joey Lawerence

[@graymoreghost]

I couldn't STAAAAAAND Sam and the way he would always say "Mishter D"

[@HoneyHoneyBaby]

[@graymoreghost]

@@bigwillietheb Yesh it wazh!

[@kathconserv]

I don’t remember this man. I thought Sam’s dad was dead.

[@raquelh99]

No way!

[@vivianaespinoza5281]

Judging by the way Wes looks and the fact Donald would kill sam’s parents I say Wes would take him down

[@naughtydorf18]

Wes's beat downs would make Ric Flair's beat downs look like tickle sessions

[@vivianaespinoza5281]

Come on big beard guy vs bigger southern guy Wes would totally win

[@bigwillietheb]

I hated the Sam character! He was absolutely obnoxious!

[@lisaallen809]

Sam dad is a narcissist

[@JonathanHebrews]

Hush

[@anthonycomiskey4087]

Very basic episode. I'm nearly sure the programme is better than that

[@ms.chocolatecandy]

Sam was a terrible addition to the show! He was so irky!

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

Sam totally RUINED this show. He was terrible, annoying, and NOT cute. Gary Coleman made this show, even in the last few seasons. Sam should have never been introduced.

[@joshualazenby1387]

Agreed

[@bullock4211]

Sort of like Oliver from Brady Bunch. These shows run out of ideas and introduce new characters that just don't mesh with the cast
