Whatchu Talkin’ Bout Willis?

Whatchu Talkin’ Bout Willis.  That is the classic line of Gary Coleman‘s character Arnold in the television sitcom, “Different Strokes”.  I love this line.  It is one that I still find entering my mind all these years later.  

 I am actually surprised to see that the show “Different Strokes” aired all the way up until 1986.  I loved watching television as a child, but once I reached my teenage years, I pretty much lost interest in television.  I don’t feel that way now about television although I still don’t watch a great deal of television.  Back in the day, I also loved the show “Webster” and  later on, I really liked the character of Steve Urkel on “Family Matters”.  All three were great characters played by young African-American boys. 😄

Note:  I evidently did watch Webster as a teenager because it didn’t begin airing until 1983.  This is surprising, considering that I watched very little TV at that time in my life.  I recall that I did watch General Hospital after school after a friend talked about it and got me hooked on it.  John Stamos is the only celebrity that I was ever really a fan of.  I actually made a John Stamos scrapbook. 🫠 He played the character Blackie.
