Obit: Conrad Bain, 89

How timely: Antenna TV just started airing reruns of "Diff'rent Strokes," so I presume they're now going to show a marathon at some point.

Ironically, Antenna TV airs a two-hour block of Diff'rent Strokes episodes every Wednesday night, and an extra hour of episodes on Sunday nights. Surely, perhaps tonight, they'll have an acknowledgement of Mr. Bain's passing on-air.
 
The obit mentioned his twin brother Bonar, who survives him... I remember an episode of SCTV wherein Guy Caballero hires Bonar to star in a "Diff'rent Strokes" ripoff, and he turns out to be an alien...

Actually its Monday and Wednesday for 2 hours and Sunday for an hour

Thanks for the correction.

As to a Conrad Bain tribute...Antenna TV will do a marathon of episodes Saturday afternoon, starting at 1pm ET with Maude and Diff'rent Strokes episodes.

1-4pm Maude
4-8pm Diff'rent Strokes
 
He was one of the few actors that played radically different types on TV shows. Ultra-conservative Arthur and Ultra-liberal Drummond. Like Larry Hagmans, nice guy, Major Nelson and Mega-evil JR

thanks for the note. Hopefully my Directv guide updates quick enough to get them :)
 
If it doesn't just select the shows the menu is presenting or do a manual record.

So long, Mr. D., we'll miss ya!

oh I know...but it would be easier for the system to automatically do it (since I have the series set to record)

Oh yeah, that's right. Another was Betty White's Sue Ann Nivens on Mary Tyler Moore and Rose Nylund on Golden Girls.
