On the TV comedy, "Diff'rent Strokes", the character Arnold--played by Gary Coleman--would always pucker up his face and ask his brother, "What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?" if he didn't understand what was being said.
The show was about the misadventures of a rich Manhattan, white family who adopted the children of their late African -American maid. Phillip Drummond, a widowed Manhattan millionaire and president of the mega-firm Trans Allied Inc., took in the two orphaned black brothers from Harlem --8-year-old Arnold and 12-year-old Willis. Drummond had made a promise to their dying mother and his housekeeper that he would care for Arnold and Willis after she passes on; since their father had died years earlier. The boys, whom Drummond always introduced as his two sons, went from rags to riches literally overnight. At first, Willis was a bit skeptical of their newfound wealth, but eventually, both he and Arnold felt right at home in their newfound surroundings. Also part of the family were Drummond's beautiful daughter, 13-year-old Kimberly;and his current housekeeper, Edna Garrett.
The show starred Conrad Bain (Drummond), Dana Plato (Kimberly), Todd Bridges (Willis), and Gary Coleman (Arnold). The show began on Nov. 3, 1978 and ended in March 1986 after 8 seasons.
