Diff'rent Strokes defeats Growing Pains

Even with a Gheri-mullet that would make Eazy-E proud, Mike Seaver couldn't topple the theme-song powerhouse that is "Diff'rent Strokes." The voting in this one was never close. Considering this was Gary Coleman's first encounter with growing pains of any kind, we think he handled it very well. And no, here at the Lighter Side, we don't consider any joke below us.

Voting breakdown:
Diff'rent Strokes: 67.4%
Growing Pains: 32.6%
