Silver Spoons - The Complete First Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJ · 06-05-2007, 07:07 AM

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 lovable, preppy, wise-beyond-his-years Ricky Stratton. His dad is millionaire Edward Stratton III (Joel Higgins), an overgrown kid with more interest in 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. The family lawyer, Leonard (Leonard Lightfoot), helps Ricky defend himself in court in front of a jury filled with other kids. Plus tons of guest stars including Mr. T, Sharon Stone, Joey Lawrence and Jason Bateman!

Sounds awesome. The only thing I was worried about was edited episodes but it appears there aren't any, so I'm very excited. Special features don't matter to me because it's the episodes I really want. I'm just grateful we're getting unedited episodes.

Yep! Unedited eps! DEFINATELY the BEST! lol

I'm looking forward to it more and more....

I pre-ordered Season 1 of "Silver Spoons" from Amazon.com, and, since I live in Australia, it's still on its way to me, but I can't wait to get it and watch the show again!

... This was one of my favourite shows in the 80's, and it still is!

Several times they seem to have cut off, or clipped, show intros., etc. Like the very end of the theme music is cut off. Also, on some episodes, the voloume level is exceedingly low, at least on my setup.

i just watched the DVD for the first time this week. I got the season 1 set for my birthday. It's so funny to see Ricky and Jason so young. Their voices were so high back then. And, Joel riding on that train. That was funny, too. I think this show is one of the best shows from the '80s. I liked how even though Ricky Stratton was so young, he was so much more mature and wiser than his peers.
He seemed like a little adult surrounded by a bunch of little kids a lot of the time. I can't wait until they release Season 2.
