Ep 073: Time Capsule of Bad Ideas (“Diff’rent Strokes” S5E01)

Posted on February 5, 2020February 7, 2020 by Chelsea

Is it possible to love video games TOO MUCH? This is question we ask ourselves daily, and now we’ll attempt to answer it with the help of a bunch of sitcom writers who seem never to have played one. Join Chelsea, Andy, Miles, Willis, Arnold, and the rest of the Space Suckers as we plumb the depths of arcade-based addiction and platitude-based parenting.

Show: DIFF’RENT STROKES \\ “Shootout at the OK Arcade,” Season 5, Episode 1

Air Date: October 2, 1982

Find it: Hulu +Starz or Amazon Prime +Starz

Snack:

  • Russell Stover Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Medallions
