(Gordon Jump as the Bicycle Man in a very special episode of Diff’rent Strokes)
One of my favorite TV shows as a child was Diff’rent Strokes. The hit series ran from 1978 to 1986 with the type of premise that one can only find on a TV sitcom: two orphaned African American kids from the ‘hood (Gary Coleman’s Arnold and Todd Bridges’ Willis) are adopted by a rich Caucasian man (Conrad Bain) and hilarious hijinks ensue.
