(Redirected from Gary Coleman)
Diff'rent Strokes was a TV sitcom that aired from 1978 to 1986. It is relevant to The Opie and Anthony Show for three reasons:
- Sam talked about how he and his friends would sing the theme song when they were in school. Sam himself sung the theme song on the show a number of times.
- Jim Norton often brings up the two-part episode where Gordon Jump guest starred as a child molester and tried to molest the character Dudley.
- Gary Coleman (1968 – 2010), who played Arnold on the series and is arguably the star of the show, appeared on O&A on April 24, 2009 and gave them a great interview. He also called into the show on January 6, 2010, and was fucked with on the phone by O&A. He ended up being hospitalized for a slight seizure that same day. It is unclear whether O&A were the cause of the seizure.Following Coleman's death in 2010, O&A criticized his ex-wife Shannon Price for her alleged involvement in his death, and her bizarre behavior afterward.
