Show Summary

  • Ended
Welcome to the Webster guide at TV.com.

This sitcom was like Diff'rent Strokes in a lot of ways: first, a Black orphan named Webster (Emmanuel Lewis) was adopted by White parents (Alex Karras and Susan Clark); and second, the show's star became a household name.

    This is yet another show from years gone by that I would love to see again. I didn't care much for George and Kathryn. For one thing the mother was way too unmaternal for the adorable character that Webster was. His calling her ma'am instead of "mom" really got on my nerves. Webster's grandpa (George's dad) who referred to the boy as his "little baklava" was really good in the show. I don't remember a lot of episodes, but what I do remember is watching the show with my friends and us all gushing, "HE'S SO CUTE!"moreless
