Find Out What Willis Was Talkin' Bout

Growing up, Diff'rent Strokes was one of our favorite TV shows. But we called the show "Arnold and Willis", because we only had so much room in our hearts for rich white people, and that was reserved for Ricky Schroder. Arnold and Willis were like our adopted siblings, and we happily, faithfully followed their exploits every single week.

Unfortunately, the show's stars hit a rough patch after the series ended. We won't run down the list, but it's no secret that Dana Plato, Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges all spent a significant amount of time in court (though we contend that Coleman's crime was the most hilarious).

But that was years ago. And since then, Todd has cleaned up his act and bounced back, appearing in numerous films and TV shows (often with a good sense of humor about himself). In a lot of ways, he's the epitome of "child star survivor", and we admire his moxie (he played his own crack dealer in a Fox MOW. How awesome is that?).

Tomorrow night, Todd will visit Austin to introduce three of his favorite Diff'rent Strokes episodes, followed by an audience Q&A. Will it be the episode with Mr. T? Or the "very special" episode where Arnold and Kimberly were kidnapped? Or the episode where Sam is kidnapped? Will there be anything kidnapping-related? We can't wait to find out!
