This series began life as a vehicle for 'Maude' co-star Conrad Bain and up-coming child star Gary Coleman. A premise called '45 Minutes From Harlem' was concieved, about a rich New York businessman adopting a little orphaned black boy from Harlem. Whether a pilot was ever shot is unclear, but NBC liked the idea, and with a little tweaking (such as the boy gaining a slightly older brother, and the businessman gaining a teenage daughter), 'Diff'rent Strokes' was born.
