I have a question for anyone out there that is a jason bateman fan. Now I am a fan of jason bateman as derek on silver spoons but I also know he was on little house on the prairie a year before he got on spoons. does anyone know if he was casted on silver spoons after the producer spotted him on little house on the prairie because that was a little difference in the time of both shows "81 - 82" who knows. Its just something that was on my mind when I was watching a little house the other day and read the date the show aired and aired a year before spoons started in 82.
