Todd Bridges opens up about his rich career before joining the cast of the ’70s sitcom “Diff’rent Strokes.” Bridges took part in over 200 commercials, appearing on popular shows such as “The Love Boat,” “The Waltons,” and “Little House on the Prairie.” Bridges shares his experience working with Gary Coleman in “Diff’rent Strokes,” revealing that it wasn’t initially planned for Arnold to have a brother. In the wake of cancellation of the series, “Fish,” which Bridges starred in, the creators of “Diff’rent Strokes” decided to include a brother for Coleman’s character. He describes being the setup man for the show as a tough job which required setting up jokes for others. Bridges also discusses the initial backlash against “Diff’rent Strokes” due to its depiction of a racially mixed family, recounting how they received hate mail from both Black and white communities. However, over time both communities accepted and fell in love with the show.

they fired dana plato because she got pregnant when all they had to do was cover that up & keep it moving that kind of sitcom is needed in todays time
Todd's absolutely right about the hate they would received in the beginning of the show because my family members told me about it. But as the show progressed all that hate went away because they actually was good and there were a few episodes where they touched on race and they did it in a very respectful and not a tasteless manner. Different strokes back than in the '80s was one of the best shows on television and my opinion and definitely one of the top 100 shows of all time
"He was the star but I had all the girls." 😅 Gotta ❤ Todd Bridges. 😁
Todd is such a likable person, I noticed he didn't want come right out and say it different strokes was a "woke woke's nightmare
Man dat show was good. Im 7 years old in 98 tuning in to all da reruns. Lol
I really liked him. Growing up he played a character I could relate to. It's too bad that he had such a tough time growing up.
That was a nice fun fact on milk.
The More You Know 🌈 💫
WHAT CHEW TALKIN' BOUT WILLIS
Did you ask him about Janet Jackson?
"He was the star… but I had all the girls"… lol
I've always like Todd Bridges he was a solid child actor. Great he's still alive and kicking and would like to see him do some more notable acting roles maybe as an after school councilor in an urban area type scenario. Cause l think his natural compassion and life lessons learned would go over well in dealing with troubled youth in urban areas! Each episode tackles various urban issues.
Why they aint mentioning little house on the praire that he played in.
“Blacks” is wild from somebody who supposed to be of the culture. You need to change that, Vlad. I watched to make sure you didn’t quote Willis, and he didn’t say that. This was a CHOICE.
Todd looking way better
Chris rock gave so many people jobs on everybody hates Chris
Todd don't want to talk about going back to the hood and got dissed…It was not his fault he is telling the truth black girls was in love with him ( They loved Gary too he got that twisted ) But Todd was a target dudes from his hood was calling him a " sellout " and challenging him to a fight but he always said " It's just a chara ter i'm an actor " Todd was a target that's way later on Todd was on some TUFF SHIT Going on that Celebrity fight thing….He was always trying to prove his tuffness…
I watched reruns as a kid, the Mr T episode is the one that always sticks in my head when I think of the show.
I don't know about ya but that milk comment says a lot. I use to drink milk all the time like Todd but when I worked on a milk farm milking 2600 cows every night I don't drink milk anymore.
I seen them pump cows that were sick, the utters were full of shit, and one or two of the utters were swollen bleeding and pussing.
Cows kick when they don't want to be touched or are in pain.
The cows lay in shit to keep warm and the amount of steroids that I saw pumped into them and especially the babies was horrendous.
The cows would kick off the pumps and the pumps would fall into a mud puddle of complete shit and it would suck it up right into the tank that was already sold to a local restaurant that makes their butter and cheese from scratch.
The fact that he's lactose in Amerikkka but not Europe says a lot about what your FDA says is ok to consume
Fun fact the woman you hear on the tape recorder for Arnold’s birthday was Todd’s real life mom
Its seeing Todd looking great and sober
family, Family,Family,Family, family ,Family,Family,
They got the mail , because we live in a racist country.
What’s Willis talkin’ bout?
Todd, why are you rubbing your nose 👃? Did Vlad give you some booger sugar?
Never to late you legendary
All the defensive actions are for someone else
Mrs Garrett had the BIGGEST titties!!!
Diffrent Strokes came on Friday nihts at 8pm….we NEVER missed an episode!
"[Gary] was the star, but I had all the girls." Oh, girls like Charlene/Young Love Janet Jackson.
He's telling us something about the milk, i like how they just skip over that nonchalantly but how come he can drink it overseas but not in the USA? That let you know they put all kinds of bull crap in our food n drinks that's harmful to our body
