Diff'rent Strokes: The Tutor

Diff'rent Strokes: The Tutor
NBC
February 9, 1979
Sitcom
DVD
C+

In this Sandy Veith story, the title character, Danny Rose (Barry Diamond, who'd be Albon Degas on Bosom Buddies), has an informal, sort of Kotteresque approach, which rubs Mr. Drummond the wrong way.  I could've done with less of the ethnic accents, as well as Mr. D calling his Japanese client "inscrutable."  I do like how Danny figures out why Willis has a block about 1975, the year his father died, although that's not exactly the year most identified with Watergate.
