Different Strokes is one of my favorite tv shows that I loved watching growing up in New York and in Hialeah, Florida. I still love all those episodes till this day! Thank you for sharing this!
Diff’erent strokes was the absolute best!!.. Arnold Jackson & K.I.T.T. 80s nostalgia.!!..luv the Hat!..Erick & Parrish making Dollars!! Hip hop royalty.
HEY KURT , WHAT A GREAT JOB FINDING ALL THESE GREAT AREAS HERE OR GONE ,, WE GOT IT... WE ENJOYED IT MUCH ,, MY SON MAX SAYS MR. T ,, WOULD BE GREAT!! PEACE ,, OUT!!!
I loved this!! That’s my favorite show and episode(s) as well! I’m going there in 2 weeks! I never been to Universal Studios before! I was in LA in 2019 but didn’t get to go to US. I’m excited to go!
I stayed at that Sheraton last spring! was one of my favorite shows in the 80’s use to love watching it after school before dinner on KTLA or KCOP I believe.
Funny how they are tourists visiting from New York, but really, the Soundstage for the show is literally a mile away from their hotel on the backlot. They didn't go anywhere. Love it!
This is awesome! The show changed once Sam came along but my favorite episode from the "sam days" was the Ghostbusters episode that they did. I absolutely loved that episode as a kid. I saw it when it aired and couldn't wait and hope i saw it again as a rerun. We're so lucky today that we can watch just about anything at any time. Back then you had to be committed and make time for your favorite shows. Thanks for this! So cool!
I used to think sit coms took place in their actual cities. I swore that Arnold and Willis lived in NYC. I am still convinced that the Cheers cast is chilling in Boston somewhere.
We loved this one! One of my favorite episodes too! Oh, Sledgehammer too haha Did you know that Danny Elfman did the theme song for that show? Loved it!
Great video! Before KUNG-FU PANDA was SHREK 4D, it was THE FLINTSTONES. before that, it was STAR TREK. Would love to see more TV episode retrospectives covering Uni Hollywood episodes including : OUT OF THIS WORLD : "Evie Goes To Hollywood " (1987) , THE A-Team : "Steel" , Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew : "Mystery of the Hollywood Phantom" (1977) , KNIGHT RIDER: "Fright Knight" (1986) , COLUMBO "Fade into Murder" (1976) , and many more.
I used to love DS as a kid. Thanks for doing this episode. A couple of cool suggestions if you don't mind would be the original 1983 mini series of V, don't think anyone has done that. Also what about the video to "I Love LA" by Randy Newman. They would be great ones imo.
It's terrible that so many buildings in that area are being razed. Big money buys them & then they're gone. Picture's & video are the best saving source we have now.
At exactly 10:39 in this video you see a red silo light on a tripod. This light was also a prop used in a scene of the A-Team season 6 I believe. I only mention this because my father has the same model of light, it's cast iron with a par 38 lamp in the dome. My father "acquired" his light from a decommissioned missile silo from the Minute Man program sometime in the late 60's. Every time I go home I flip it on. I've searched for years and have never seen another one. So cool to see it again in a totally different show.
The Drummond penthouse is at 900 Park Ave. except that building doesn't have 2 story penthouses. It's a rather unspectacular building, no outdoor space or rooftop deck, the largest unit is a 1,200 sf 2 bedroom and goes for $2.4 million. I always wanted to live in that penthouse until I found out it wasn't real. The Jefferson's building is at 185 E. 85th and the main entrance is called Jefferson's Drive. They have 3 bedroom suites about 1,200 sf, no sellers but they rent at about $5,200 a month and have no central air conditioning. I don't think I would live in New York, tv makes it look better than it really is.
What amazes me most is that the actor who played Sam got in Terminator part two as Eddie Furlong’s friend & later on he was cast in Nickelodeon’s “Hey Dude”, if my memory serves me right about that?
I remember that episode as if I saw it yesterday. I believe I've seen it at least six times. Universal Studios has changed so dramatically. I was there about 6 years ago and the only thing I really enjoyed were the nachos in Simpsons Land. The tram tour was just ok and I really don't care much about the themed rides. What happened to the days when the tram stopped and you could get off and tour an active sound set? What happened to the Miami Vice, cowboy, and A Team stunt shows? Gone but not forgotten.
Gary Coleman was an old client of our company's. I shit you not. When he lived in Santaquin, Utah. I did an inspection for mice for him. (Pest Control. Stay in school kids!) He actually had a train set up and a conductors hat in his living room. SERIOUSLY!!! People always said he was a dick. He just reminded me of my brother. He was alright. Our company did fire him though. He'd always call up wanting a service that had to be a certain time and he'd never show up.
Kurt, I love your videos. Can you please do an episode about the opening credits for three's company when they all are goofing around at the LA Zoo? It would be amazing to see those locations now!
I remember there were 2 kidnapping different strokes episode, the one with Kimberly and Arnold getting duct tape from the creep,, and Dudley in the bathtub at the bicycle shop,,, those episodes taught me a lot about stranger danger as a kid,,
Great show, Great work all always my overseas friend. That music ? Public Enemy sampled in harder than you think. Shirley Bassey's Jezahel. I,ve just done a VISION Psycho stick build on my channel if you get time to check it out. Keep up the great and hard work putting these together. Have a great weekend
I took a picture of jaws when we went to universal studios back when they were filming Jurassic park 3 we went on the tour and the tour guide said be very quiet that they are filming a movie we all had lots of fun.
You should do a filming locations for the 1980’s episodes of “AirWolf” starring casting by Michael Jan Vincent, Jean Bruce Scott, and Ernest Borgnine, along with Alex Cord, !!!!!
Telly Savalas lived in the hotel. First Lady Nancy Reagan appeared on the show, I talked to Todd Bridges about it on Twitter, and he said there were alot of Secret Service agents
What he forgot to mention in the beginning of the video, DS seasons 5-7 was taped at Universal. The previous four seasons were taped at the old Metromedia Square studios on Sunset and Van Ness off US-101 (Helen Bernstein High School currently sits there now). The final season was taped at ABC Television Center in the eastern end of Hollywood.

Absolutely loved this show. Rip Gary Coleman. "Willis" lives up In the valley, near Northridge
I stayed at that Sheraton last spring! was one of my favorite shows in the 80’s use to love watching it after school before dinner on KTLA or KCOP I believe.
KCOP had the reruns beginning in 1984, and they later moved to KCAL by 1990.
Damn, Sledgehammer and some EPMD love all within the first few minutes, this episode is killing it, talk about taking me back to the 80's.
My favorite show when I was a kid. Born in January 77
05:44 The Cinerama Dome brings back great memories! I saw The Wiz and Back to the future there. Those were the days!
Beautiful! Good Stuff. Diff’rent Strokes Is My Favorite Show As Well. Gary Coleman Is My Hero RIP.
Funny how they are tourists visiting from New York, but really, the Soundstage for the show is literally a mile away from their hotel on the backlot. They didn't go anywhere. Love it!
I didn't expect the commercials 😎

Funniest episode of the series was the bike shop episode. I know it was supposed to have a message but I founds it hilarious
Great video!

Willis and Kimberly was low key looking for rocks lol

Dana Plato... so sad
Yeah more that tv shows please
It's UCS for you. It's UCS for me. It's UCS for all of us!
🎼"Now the world don't move.."🎶 C'mon everybody!!
The open-air soundstage might have once been the Airport 77 screen test. I remember getting called on stage when I went there alone once.
Everything looked better back then.
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew two parter at Universal shows the Sheraton as well
You forgot to include when Jaws got a pie in the face lol
That was very creepy seeing that guy behind the tree. That is the very reason they removed the trees🤣🤣🤣
Whatchu talkin' 'bout, 80s Life
Immediately goes to check out Sledge Hammer
12:25 Adam the woo?
He was the creepy guy behind the trees. But they removed them so now he just sits in a chair.
I liked the Ghostbusters episode
@7:00 this is off the subject but the bridge to that song thats playing is fire.
Great show, Great work all always my overseas friend.
That music ? Public Enemy sampled in harder than you think. Shirley Bassey's Jezahel. I,ve just done a VISION Psycho stick build on my channel if you get time to check it out. Keep up the great and hard work putting these together. Have a great weekend
I took a picture of jaws when we went to universal studios back when they were filming Jurassic park 3 we went on the tour and the tour guide said be very quiet that they are filming a movie we all had lots of fun.

12:25 A wild Adam the Woo appears!
Telly Savalas lived in the hotel. First Lady Nancy Reagan appeared on the show, I talked to Todd Bridges about it on Twitter, and he said there were alot of Secret Service agents
They didn't "film" they recorded on videotape. Completely different.
What he forgot to mention in the beginning of the video, DS seasons 5-7 was taped at Universal. The previous four seasons were taped at the old Metromedia Square studios on Sunset and Van Ness off US-101 (Helen Bernstein High School currently sits there now). The final season was taped at ABC Television Center in the eastern end of Hollywood.
