Ah, the "Just Say No" Episode. A must watch. First Lady Nancy Reagan comes to the rescue when she reads an article written by Arnold about drugs in the school. Classic TV at its finest half hour. If only Lindsay had been a Diff'rent Strokes fan.
Is that a street gang or a debate team? Willis becomes a member of the Tarantulas, a local group of urban miscreants. Odd choice, dude. These guys don't look like thugs; they look like they should be tutoring calculus.
Changing housekeepers is traumatic for the rich. But Drummond is a trooper and takes life as it comes. With the help of Adelaide, the new Mrs. G, he might even win city council. Print up some snappy campaign tees and he may have a chance.
Acid rain ranks with killer bees on the list of 80s terrors. Watch Kimberly fear the rain, when before a hot date acid rain turns her hair green. Will she get environmentally active, or just get a wig? Green hair is the most inconvenient truth.
What'chu talkin' bout Larceny? Arnold is told he can join a "club" at school, he just has to steal something to get in. He finally decides on a comic book, which turns out to be VERY expensive. You think anyone has tried to join the Crips' that way?
Can you be too conceited for an exclusive club? Willis is rejected from a hoity-toity campus club just because he thinks he's super awesome. Isn't that a prerequisite? Imagine a fraternity rejecting beer drinkers! It ain't fair, Willis.
Can you imagine Mr. Drummond in the Korean war? It hurts the mind just trying to hold such a thought. Yet that seems to be the implication here after a young Korean man shows up at the apartment claiming Mr. Drummond is his long-lost father.
Arnold and Willis have a cousin and she looks a lot like Esther from Sanford and Son. LaWanda Page guest stars as an opportunistic relative who's eager to cash in on the fortune that is Mr. Drummond. She tries the old slip-and-fall routine (which was actually the new slip-and-fall routine back then)
No Arnolds allowed. That's the law. So goes the argument from the salty new landlord who wants to evict the Drummonds from their swank uptown penthouse. Hopefully the two parties will reach some common ground, because it's tough to find places that are tolerant of wise cracking pre-teens.
