- Diff'rent Strokes is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC from November 3, 1978, to May 4, 1985 and on ABC from September 27, 1985, to March 7, 1986. The show's cast consisted of Conrad Bain, Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges and Dana Plato.
- In "Death Has a Shadow", Peter Griffin says he was gonna call the government about his welfare checks when his favorite episode of the show was on. Part of Peter's school board debate speech in "Running Mates" includes some of the lyrics to the show's theme. In "Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?", Peter mentions Arnold Jackson getting beat up by the Gooch. In "Fore Father", Peter asks Cleveland, Jr. to call him Mr. Drummond. Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin sing the Diff'rent Strokes theme as part of the "T.V. Medley" on the Family Guy: Live in Vegas album.
- A proper white man adopts two street-wise black boys. Hilarity Ensues. Diff'rent Strokes (1978-86) made a star of Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson, the younger of the two boys. Todd Bridges was his older brother Willis and Conrad Bain was the proper white man, Mr. Drummond. As one of NBC's few late-'70s hits, it quickly launched a spinoff in The Facts of Life the following year. First Lady Nancy Reagan made a guest appearance in a Very Special Episode about drug abuse, and ABC's Webster was a Follow the Leader rival. Ironically, Diff'rent Strokes itself actually moved to ABC when it got canceled by NBC. The theme was co-written and performed by Alan Thicke.

| - A proper white man adopts two street-wise black boys. Hilarity Ensues. Diff'rent Strokes (1978-86) made a star of Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson, the younger of the two boys. Todd Bridges was his older brother Willis and Conrad Bain was the proper white man, Mr. Drummond. As one of NBC's few late-'70s hits, it quickly launched a spinoff in The Facts of Life the following year. First Lady Nancy Reagan made a guest appearance in a Very Special Episode about drug abuse, and ABC's Webster was a Follow the Leader rival. Ironically, Diff'rent Strokes itself actually moved to ABC when it got canceled by NBC. The theme was co-written and performed by Alan Thicke. Unfortunately, this show is best remembered now both for its special episodes and the unhappy fates of its three leading kid actors (Coleman, Bridges, and Dana Plato, who played Mr. Drummond's daughter); it's such stories that the Former Child Star trope is built upon. Coleman's is parodied in the musical Avenue Q.

- In "Death Has a Shadow", Peter Griffin says he was gonna call the government about his welfare checks when his favorite episode of the show was on. Part of Peter's school board debate speech in "Running Mates" includes some of the lyrics to the show's theme. In "Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?", Peter mentions Arnold Jackson getting beat up by the Gooch. In "Fore Father", Peter asks Cleveland, Jr. to call him Mr. Drummond. Brian Griffin and Stewie Griffin sing the Diff'rent Strokes theme as part of the "T.V. Medley" on the Family Guy: Live in Vegas album. In "Brian Goes Back to College", Gary Coleman is dressed as Stewie as part of a plan to fool Lois while Stewie tags along with Brian at Brown University. Jerome uses Arnold's catch phrase "What 'chou talking about?" in "Jerome Is the New Black", prompting a laugh from Peter who recognizes the reference. In "Thanksgiving", after everyone learns why Kevin Swanson went AWOL, Peter calls him a Benedict Arnold Drummond. This puzzles the writer and director of the episode, because they have not made an appropriate cutaway for that setup. The writer guesses he wants "Gary Coleman in a Napoleon hat", but instead they play a completely unrelated gag, "The Cowardly Lion as Lindsay Lohan's gynecologist." Chris reminds the family that Edna Garrett was also on Diff'rent Strokes in addition to The Facts of Life in "Bigfat". Brian uses the troubled lives of former child actors to convince Stewie to give up acting in "The Peanut Butter Kid", including Dana Plato who went into porn and died an early death.
