Rick Schroger on the Facts of Life set. He appeared in no episodes and none of the Facts of Life cast appeared on Silver Spoons.

I wonder if any of the girls (I mean women) are much of a fan of Crazy Rick Schroder today?

Weirdly, there was no crossover episode where Ricky visits Peekskill, despite the two shows sharing the same universe. Ricky had visited Arnold on Diff'rent Strokes. I feel like Ricky and Andy could have hung out.

Yeah, cuz FOL was upstate, New York and Silver Spoons was Long Island, New York. So Ricky could have come to town some time to check on possible competition for Eddie Toys.
Well, nowadays, Ricky is too busy harassing Costco workers, having psychotic meltdowns and bailing out killer gunmen like Kyle Rittenhouse.

Facts of Life was based in Peekskill, NY. Not exactly upstate NY. Perhaps NYC residents would consider it upstate. There are trains from NYC to Peekskill often. Not too hard to get from Long Island to Peekskill via train.

PS: Rick Schroder is a psycho.

I would have loved a FOL/SS crossover episode. Arnold made a pointless cameo on that show

Thanks for sharing, 80s Dude! Can I ask you where did you find these pics?

Everyone I know in NYC considers that to be upstate.

And PPS.... yes, he is a psycho who harasses hard working Costco employees.

Getty Images. You can get lots of Facts of Life pictures there from all different eras.

Ricky had visited Arnold on Diff'rent Strokes.
Actually it was Arnold that visited Ricky on Silver Spoons.

That is weird indeed, having the guy from SILVER SPOONS on FOL if he was never in any episodes.....

I like your idea, but could Over Our Heads ever compete with a NYC store? They would have needed a serious investor... maybe Ricky's dad! :lol:

I am shocked at what has happened to Rick Schroder. How do people lose their minds like this? The Costco meltdown might have killed his career. I have family members who work retail. I would never want them treated the way Rick Schroder treated the Costco employees. I'll never see anything he is in now.

Oh, thanks for the correction. It's been so long my memories have faded as much as Felice on Zoom!

Yes, it's odd. But it was the same production company, by then, that produced both shows. The last couple seasons of FOL and SS use the same interstitial music: the same music that appears between scenes. For example, the wah-wah-wah-wah flute sound.

Rick Schroder has also been arrested for domestic violence...twice.

His daughter also blocked him on Instagram.

I feel like he's a ticking timebomb.

His Facebook page is even scarier. He posts racist, Qunanon type stuff like company logos, such as Apple being Satanic.

I've never looked at his Facebook page, but that sounds crazy, indeed. :eek:

Thank you! :wave:

:rofl:

I love that we now have this as a new status. :lol:

And coincidentally, Felice may be the first person who would defend him. I'm not saying she would, just from her strange political things that she sometimes posts on social media (and occasionally deletes), I'm just saying of all the girls, IF anyone went to his defense on something, I could see her being the first (and pretty much only) one. But maybe even she wouldn't have anything to do with him.

And because of what he has become, I am very thankful his show isn't one of my favorite '80s sitcoms. Now I definitely don't miss watching it at all.

I'm not sure any of the FOL gang was ever more than civil-when-necessary with Mr. Schoeder for the photo shoot itself but if any of them somehow stayed friends with him to the present day , I seriously doubt they'd want to admit it!

The girls worked with Ricky Schroder's sister, Dawn (who played Jenny) on a few episodes of the show. And Felice and her sisters posed for photos with Ricky back in the day. But I agree that the only reason you'd side with Rick Schroder today would be to destroy your Hollywood career. He's gone full Qanon.

:rofl:

I love Felice and hate that she remembered NOTHING in that Zoom interview, including her fairly meaty role in "Gossip"... but I'm glad I could make you laugh! :lol:

You could very well be right. I think she would defend Scott Baio. But there's a huge difference between Libertarian and Qanon. So I just don't know.

I know! I couldn't believe she didn't at least watch one episode as an "interview prep/refresher". Pretty much the ONLY takeaway we got from that---and it was a good one!---was "The Night That Felice's Grandpa's False Teeth Freaked Out Kim". :rofl:

Oh, yeah, that was hilarious!

And from that incident, we learned that the girls even had sleepovers.

Talk about a close-knit cast!

Perhaps that is why Felice has no memories of Molly. Both are very opinionated, but don't agree on their opinions.

I can't see any of the Core Four associating with Rick Schroder anymore. Especially Kim.

Oh dear :eek:
