Default Rick Schroder and the FOL girls.

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.

Actually it was Arnold that visited Ricky on Silver Spoons.

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!

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.

His daughter also blocked him on Instagram.

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