Silver Spoons Season 1

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Back in 1982, it was perfectly fine to refer to the 12-year-old star of Silver Spoons as Ricky Schroder. It wouldn't be until his young adult years, when he went on to star in such projects as Lonesome Dove, 24, and NYPD Blue that Schroder would try to distance himself from the sitcom that made him a household name and replace Ricky with Rick. But no matter how many plum roles Schroder gets, we will always have fond memories of Ricky--or the Rickster, as he was sometimes called on the show. The first season opens with millionaire man-child Edward Stratton III (Joel Higgins) learning that he is the father of a tween boy. Straight out of military school, little Ricky moves in with his dad and the two fill needs in each other's lives that they didn't realize needed filling. Schroder already had proven his dramatic acting chops in the 1979 theatrical release The Champ, for which he won a Golden Globe. With Silver Spoons--especially during the first couple seasons--he didn't have to do much else than look adorable (And look adorable he does). Playing the wise child to Higgins' somewhat immature (and emotionally stunted) dad, he's a natural whether helping his father land a date, dealing with a school bully, or making sure his father and grandfather come to terms with their complicated relationship. This three-disc box set includes all 22 episodes, which aired on NBC from 1982-1983. The guest list from the first season is impressive. Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) has a recurring role as his friend/foe Derek. And Sharon Stone, Mr. T and Joey--sorry, Joseph--Lawrence all make appearances. Silver Spoons won't go down as a serious contribution to the world of television. But like cotton candy, it's a welcome treat that's fun to indulge in on occasion. --Jae-Ha Kim


Product Description

It’s a train ride of laughs in the first season of Silver Spoons, the classic ‘80s hit sitcom starring 12-year-old Ricky Schroder as the loveable, preppy, wise-beyond-his-years Ricky Stratton. His dad is millionaire Edward Stratton III (Joel Higgins), an overgrown kid with more interest in his toys than in business or his beautiful assistant Kate (Erin Gray). This season, Ricky realizes that Edward’s relaxed attitude toward discipline doesn’t mean Edward doesn’t love him. Ricky gets his first taste of puppy love and learns to stand up to the school bully. Kate and Edward realize they have feelings for each other. Plus tons of guest stars including Mr. T., Sharon Stone, Joey Lawrence and Jason Bateman.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY ON DVD!!! Long live "The Ricker", May 17, 2007
By Ape Man (West Coast USA) - See all my reviews
At LAST this 80s CLASSIC gets the DVD treatment it deserves!!
[minor spoiler alert!]
This was a wonderful show during the years it aired. I fondly remember many of the episodes. Some elements of this show still stick with me to this day. When Jason Bateman left the show, my real-life best friend moved to another state. Being a 4th grader at the time, this made the show and the whole experience really hit home. This series was light-hearted, but still managed to present themes and situations that kids really went through. As a 30-something adult, whenever I think of that time of my life, this television show instantly springs to mind.

On a side note, Rick Schroder will always be "Ricky" to me. And Erin Gray is still incredibly beautiful to this day! Long live "The Ricker" !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eighties time capsule, fun and nostalgic series, May 23, 2007
Silver Spoons was one of definitive eighties time capsule. This series was pure eighties, break dancing, big hair, music, posters. Ricky Schroder shines his title role, and he surrounded many well-remembered characters. Even legendary actor John Houseman appeared and Erin Gray really made big impression with her stepmother role. But, my favorite character is probably Rick's pal played by Alfonso Ribeiro. He was funny character. Everytime He appeared, there was some kind of funny things happened. Yes, by the today's standards, it's maybe cheesy but you certainly agree it's lot of fun, and I believe eighties will never duplicated.

I had many fine memories with eighties, and Silver Spoons was certainly one of them. If you're eighties growing-up kids, you'll love this dvd set. I can't wait to see those fun adventures with Rick and family, friends again after all these years. Thanks for reading.
