Yeah I Heard that Too

When Arnold got blamed for the food was it Arnold that said it was kimebey?

Did she have a problem in real life

@@angieyauger295 Her problems are now over

In real life, conrad bain held some really deep dark secrets. The way he treated those kids on the set of different strokes was like no other. Quite shocking, actually. They didn't call it different strokes for nothing Haha 😄

And I would have been a happier person if I never knew about these things that didn't exist in my life at the time.

A lot of shows did that back then. Family Matters Fresh Prince Full House just to name a few .

We used to call it A Very Special Episode.

So did Facts of Life.

@@Jason-cn5vo Stupid

She did it to herself

Preach it! Explain their disease to a little girl w a brain tumor who never hurt anyone.

@@actuary33 People who are addicts don't like to be preached to. And they will tell you, you don't understand. But since they are addicted to drugs, they don't understand either.

@@eyemnew2991 truth

@@actuary33 Thank you I love the truth

@Ronan The Accuser: Well, Drew Barrymore went the same way with her youth too. I bet that messed with Dana's head a lot. What makes Berrymore valuable than Plato? Nothing really. It's just really sad, My Dude.

God Bless Dana Plato, but she was a terrible actress here. And where's Willis?

The acting in this clip was pretty bad.

Oh please. Such a dramatic scene and she couldn't even squeeze a tear out? Her acting was garbage.

She was a great actress More then these dry comments of those think that they done acting before.🙄

Rest in peace dana you are the beautiful woman in heavan

This episode was her last appearance.

Sad & Tragic

She did it to herself.

@@eyemnew2991 Buzz off!

and food can be an addiction also and I'm glad they showed this.

Sobriety is not the only way to recovery.

@@dboy2462, I know someone who inexplicably nearly died from substance abuse but found a way to use less without totally quitting. So maybe you're right. But sustained sobriety could have saved Dana Plato.

@@youtubesketches110 Nice of you to be open minded. Yes, sobriety can save people, but I said it's not the only way to recovery because there are many people who can't quit doing drugs and thus can't achieve sobrety. For those, maintenance programs can be life changing. Search on KZfaq for a video called "legal heroin for addicts in Liverpool 1990s". It's about a doctor who prescribed controlled doses of pharmaceutical-grade heroin and cocaine for addicts. His program reduced the overdose rate of his patients to zero and there was a 93 per cent drop in adiction related crime.

@@dboy2462, indeed. In fact, on my way to abstinence I did 2.4 yrs methadone treatment. Now 44 months without methadone. I cannot count the number of lives saved by medication-assisted treatment. I know people who survived many years with methadone and led productive lives. Blessings, YTS

NO we dont/

Oh wow

And being hungry.

Really? I think the golden age of TV were the last few years before streaming ruined it. These old shows that go setup-punchline-applause are incredibly boring and unfunny. People don't talk like this in real life, everybody moves to face the camera because they were all shot multi-camera. Just terrible, horrible TV.

@@User0000000000000004 Then why are you watching this? LOL

Yep phaxx

@@User0000000000000004 I'd rather watch old stuff then this god forsaken reality show were people are humping each other under the sheets

so true

Who is to say what anyone deserves ? Life in Hollywood is running with the devil

She did I agree

Right. I definitely agree.

Nowdays we know better. Back then her & Lauren Tewes the list goes on & on got made fun of instead of empathy. People suck tho, always have.

There's been alot of suicides in my town like never before. It's not unbelievable that I don't believe it,.. It's making me wonder what is going on with people to do that.

Well she did off herself so...

She was struggling deep down .

I know it’s tragic

This was in the final season on ABC.

ALL IN THE FAMILY tackled stuff like this 15 years earlier. HAHA.

I remember the episode with his wife more from when I was a child. I thought they were good I of course since went on to watching the full series.

I didn’t like Maggie (both actresses) and Sam. The show went downhill once they introduced them.

What networks was it on?

@@anwartalia812 Jumped from NBC to ABC.

The moment it became the Arnold and Sam show, it was over.

All three kids had issues, which is sad.

Dixie Carter

😭😭💔

Even Willis wasn’t in the final episode.

I miss her so much . R.I.P. Dana

@@CatMasterCharlieTheCat Wills wasn't even in the last episode

@@a.k.a.theruggedmanchild9685 A bunch of them weren't in the last episode.

He was in a drug house getting high.

For real nowadays is gender nonsense

During the mid to late 80's in the area I use to live, they were showing reruns of Diff'rent Strokes starting at 5 p.m Monday through Friday, right after the weekday cartoon blocks ended (EX: Thundercats would air at 4:30 p.m and then reruns of Diff'rent Strokes would air at 5 p.m. Seasons 7 and 8 were added into the reruns a year and two later once those seasons finished airing). Anyway, the Bicycle Man two parter was season 5. What made those episodes terrifying was how accurate it was to real life crime cases. I was somewhere between age 6 to 8 when I first that two parter and remember being weirded out and confused the first time I saw them and continued to be weirded out the few times it would air after they started rotating through the episodes again. I SLOWLY began to understand it more and more each time I saw it and the more I understood, the more screwed up it was. The other two shows I would watch right after Diff'rent Strokes were Three's Company (which was also in reruns... I think that aired around 5:30 p.m or so during the mid to late 80's) and Too Close for Comfort during 6:30 p.m during the mid to late 80's (I think it was showing new episodes during 1986 but then it went into reruns around 1987). From 7:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m I didn't watch TV (that was homework time for me, but I didn't mind since 7 to 8 was just boring news stuff like "A Current Affair"). Then at 8:00 p.m the prime time brand new shows would start. For example, Mondays at 8:00 p.m was ALF (from 1986 till early 1990 on NBC).

Stacy Lyon..So true. I remember seeing an article on one old Hollywood star who said they wanted her to smoke and smoke a lot. She ended up with cancer, she smoked so heavily till the end of her life. .The actress was Gene Tierney

Who are you talking to? Freak.

Thought eating disorders are a rich white girl disease

@@actuary33 I thought the same thing

@@anniewall5883 glad I'm not alone

You know your comment makes no sense, right? “Kimberly” is a character, not a real person🙄 The actress who played her is deceased after years of substance abuse/addiction issues. Her name was Dana Plato, not Kimberly.

That’s how it’s supposed to be

That was the plan at one point but foL cast thought she would get all of the attention

So you want her to be on 2 shows and get physically exhausted

Lmao

And Conrad Bain

​@@Mark-xl1zeand Bonar Bain

Toxic you got that right

How do you know that ? I heard it was her Valume addiction

I wish she got the help she needed because she would have been alive today

Ahhh. That explains the loose fitting sweaters and jacket concealing her not yet obvious baby-bump.

She left in season 6 because of her pregnancy you can definitely tell in the wedding episode.

Yeah, sad. But at least the character did get help here. Unlike real life.

Why?

And?😒

Yep.

Hola perdón es que no se inglés pero que es lo que le dice su papa a ella? Por que se enfada?

Sam had issues later in life, too. But still alive like Todd Bridges.

I know I feel so bad for her

Wikipedia - Maggie McKinney-Drummond was portrayed by Dixie Carter for seasons 6-7, and when the show moved from NBC to ABC for season 8, Mary Ann Mobley took over the role. Carter and Mobley would star opposite each other in the season 5 premiere of Designing Women, "A Blast From The Past."

Funny, I thought Dixie Carter was in this episode.

She is here thank God

Dixie Carter got fed up with Gary Coleman and quit.

@@robertclark6349 Really?

This was after.
