Mr. D was always a terrific role model and an example of what we should all strive to be as fathers. Apparently he was very much the same way in real life, and while it's sad he's passed I think it's better celebrate what a great long life he had.

Geesh, I'm sorry he passed and my sympathy goes out to family, but that show gosh-awful! I put it in a bin with show about the boarding school girls - just sucktacular.

On the other hand, NBCsports ran a 6 Million Dollar Man episode. If we are lucky we might get them as in lead in and follow up to our games. What a ratings boost!

 

[mattp]

the other show you are talking, "Facts of Life" about was actually a spin-off from Diff'rent Strokes utilizing the Drummonds' housekeeper Mrs Garrett as the house mother of the boarding school. Luckily the Drummonds' next housekeeper Adelaide was much funnier than Mrs Garrett anyhow. I need a life

I thought it was an Andre Drummond relative at first. Seriously....I'm old enough to know and I didn't.

Role model??? That's not how I remember him! He bought new uniforms for the whole football team so Arnold would make the team!

How do you think that made Arnold feel when he found out he only made the team because Mr. D. bought the team new uniforms ...

Maybe he felt like Burton's kid at Syracuse?
