When I saw the promo for "Nick At Nite's Revenge of the '80s" featuring "Silver Spoons," It immediately took me back to my childhood. I remember watching both Diff'rent Strokes and Silver Spoons on NBC and later on in syndication. But usually when I finally see something that I haven't seen in years, I usually just watch enough for me to reminice a bit--which isn't much--like "Gimme A Break!," or "Webster"--which by the way I found very depressing! But Silver Spoons surprised me alot. Even though most of the episodes consisted of formulaic writing and problems that were solved or forgotten in 30 minutes, I thoroghly enjoyed the first episode they aired during the marathon. They made Mr.T funny and smart! By the way, it's kind of a strange coincidence that with the exception of square pegs, all of the shows featured on that marathon aired on NBC!
Oh yeah, and another thing, Nick at Nite should've put something else in place of "Facts of Life" which is alredy on the regular lineup! "Small Wonder",or even "Gimme A Break," would've been better.

Hey Allen,
I remember NBC playing Silver Spoons and Different Strokes as well! I love Eighty's shows. You're right about them taking the Facts of Life off, I'd rather see "Small Wonder" or"Webster" but espeacially "Silver Spoons". Those shows were great and the shows of today just don't compare. I also remember "Punky Brewster" I used to love that show too! When I was little I wanted to be just like her!
