RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

4-Kane It's not very often that you come across a TV show, let alone a situation comedy, in which the father is portrayed as more childish than his son. Nevertheless, such a program came into fruition in the form of Silver Spoons, when it debuted on NBC in September 1982. Joel Higgins was perfect as Edward Stratton III, a wealthy man who discovers that he is the father of a 12-year-old boy named Ricky Stratton, played by Ricky Schroder. But who could have guessed that someone like Ricky Schroder, known for dramatic movies such as The Champ and The Earthling, would star in a sitcom? Regardless, Schroder was great as Ricky Stratton.Silver Spoons is an enjoyable sitcom. The series ran for five years, on NBC from 1982 to 1986 and in first-run syndication from 1986 to 1987. It produced a total of 116 episodes. That was a good run. It has been over thirty years since the series ended its run, but I still have fond memories of it.

videorama-759-859391 Yeah, I loved this show, and it's concept. It was a winning formula. Ricky Schroder, who in my opinion was just a natural actor, and Joel Higgins, who I wish to hell, did more stuff, played so well off each other, as re united mature son versus childish, spoilt, millionaire, father who lives in a two story castle of lavish riches, it's facade, looks like another of his expensive toys. Erin Gray lean't such great and sexy support as the Higgin's personal assistant, who eventually, became Charle's Stratton's second wife. This show's also good if you want to see a really young Jason Bateman, starting out, a seasoned performer with really good acting chops. The episode where a schoolboy crush on Gray's was cute and funny. And check out Higgins's really big train set ride. His character, was one I really liked more than most comedies at that time, and this shows, one of the reasons, I'm really gonna remember 1983. Great show with bolstered performances, that never slacked, this is one 80's show you definitely must see, via Youtube.

famelovingboy68 Silver Spoons, may not have been a worldwide cultural phenomenon, like Cheers, which started just a few days after this, but is well and fondly remembered by people somewhere in their 30's to maybe those somewhere in their 50's. I'm only 25, but wise and kind of an old soul. The series was referred to as "treacly sweet" or something along those lines, Rick Schroder was a lovable boy, starting as Ricky Stratton, the 12-year old who was mature and wise beyond years. Dad was a kid at heart; VERY much a kid. That is to say he played with electric trains and played in the fashion of a child. Nonetheless, I think he was still a good father and the nicest TV dad I remember. Jason Bateman was in the first two seasons, of course, as Ricky's trouble-making, smart aleck friend. It's a wonder that was Jason Bateman, seeing him today in the ultra-contemporary 21st century programs, like Arrested Development, which i did not like, and his feature films in recent years. Though, maybe not hilarious and sometimes serious with pro social messages and "special episodes" e.g. Ricky babysits a little girl who was neglected by adopted parents,and characters with disabilities maybe the theme in at least an episode, and teen pregnancy (no it wasn't Rick's fault) it made me laugh more than most other shows, strangely. I bought the first season in a vintage style lunch box at Best Buy about 2 and a half year ago, and it took me almost 3 months to finish. Sexism and cliché'd gender stereotyping comments also seems kept to a minimum. I didn't like Jason Bateman so much in the show. By season 2 or Season 3, Alfonso Ribeiro became the new friend. A waiter at Olive Garden from the generation said he was the show's star. Next to Ricky Schroder at least. I carry the lunch box around with me, as I got tired of the little backpack. Joel Higgins, was no prolific actor on the silver screen and I can only think of maybe TV movies he was in, but he went on to record some music. He seemed rather quiet in Hollywood, something underrated, in my opinion. Erin Gray was also lovely as the assistant who was like a surrogate mother to Rick and later his father marries her. Ricky was clean cut like the Brady kids, a style and time in television I miss.

Alice Hochhausler (alicehoc1982) I remember that show when I used to watch that show when I was like a month old or 2 months old but I was born in the year 1982 of March that time to I was 5 years old in '87. I remember that scene Rick S. as Ricky Stratton had the remote control door to open when Alfonso R. as Alfonso came to Ricky's house. I remember these epoisdes for 5 years when I was a little kid. I still remember the signal light on the wall where Ricky was around the house near it from the living room to the door. It is the best show of the 1980's! I still remember that show well for 22 years that I used to watch the show everyday. I remember the opening credits well. I really liked that show.
