S8 E3 Pilot Season: "Diff'rent Strokes"

Yes, it's another Fanacek episode about a show you probably don't enjoy, but you absolutely must revisit this pilot as it is almost as batshit crazy as the rest of the series.  Mr. Drummond plays white savior to two black orphans who just lost their mother.  Lucky for them, they don't have a chance to grieve because Mr. D is "shaking hands like a brother", showering them with toys and a pony, and offering a soak in his jacuzzi.  What could have been an interesting commentary on loss and racial divides became this cotton candy descent into lunacy.  Enjoy.
