"At LAST this 80s CLASSIC gets the DVD treatment it deserves!!

[minor spoiler alert!]

This was a wonderful show during the years it aired. I fondly remember many of the episodes. Some elements of this show still stick with me to this day. When Jason Bateman left the show, my real-life best friend moved to another state. Being a 4th grader at the time, this made the show and the whole experience really hit home. This series was light-hearted, but still managed to present themes and situations that kids really went through. As a 30-something adult, whenever I think of that time of my life, this television show instantly springs to mind.



On a side note, Rick Schroder will always be "Ricky" to me. And Erin Gray is still incredibly beautiful to this day! Long live "The Ricker" !!"

Silver Spoons, My All time Favorite television Show

"This TV show IS and WILL ALWAYS be my favorite show. I have all of these episodes taped from way back when I was a kid when the generation of the VHS (recorders came out). and that was not long after 1982 when Spoons began. I had to wait until reruns so I could tape them but it was worth all the wait. Now the tapes are dragging but (NO MORE). Sony did it! I know this will make Rick,Joel,Erin,Jason,Alfonso,Corky proud that this was released. Oh, and lets not forget the sly Christine Belford (Ricks Mom)..and, If only Mr houseman were alive. He made that show as well. He was (the greatest Grandfather). the bond between Rick and his grandfather was so great. "Gotta love the learning to drive episode". There are also some great guests on the show, Including Whitney houston,Mr T,Gary Coleman,Pearl Bailey and the ever so popular Menudo. This show makes you laugh,Cry,get angry like I did when Rick told freddy Lippincottleman that he wasnt his friend lol. The hardest thing in the world to see was derek leaving the show. That episode was very emotional. I was feeling at first that it wasnt going to be the same but the show was great from start to finish. For all you new people that are going to buy this....You are in for a real treat! Rick Schroder,(Ricker) youre an awesome actor!



R.I.P for two great actors franklin seales,John Houseman



PS: For those of you that worry that you have to buy so many sets that you might lose interest in this (do not worry) This show ran from 82 to 1987 so not many sets to buy. Please buy this so that Sony will continue to release them. I promise you wont be let down. Every season is great! of course the first three seasons are my favorite and rick grows in every season but all of them have a very good story!



(ADDED NOTE) I got the DVD set today and let me tell you...Brilliant picture quality. Fine remastering. I am so pleased to toss out my first two VHS tapes that has the first season on them. I kept them because I was a little worried that they were going to edit the show's ending like they do sometime on tv for air time but sony did not butcher the show. silver spoons lovers will be very happy with what sony has presented us with this set. (Lets just hope they dont botch it up and leave people hanging for a year or so for each additional season release.

Eighties time capsule, fun and nostalgic series

Classic Lover | 05/24/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Silver Spoons was one of definitive eighties time capsule. This series was pure eighties, break dancing, big hair, music, posters. Ricky Schroder shines his title role, and he surrounded many well-remembered characters. Even legendary actor John Houseman appeared and Erin Gray really made big impression with her stepmother role. But, my favorite character is probably Rick's pal played by Alfonso Ribeiro. He was funny character. Everytime He appeared, there was some kind of funny things happened. Yes, by the today's standards, it's maybe cheesy but you certainly agree it's lot of fun, and I believe eighties will never duplicated.



I had many fine memories with eighties, and Silver Spoons was certainly one of them. If you're eighties growing-up kids, you'll love this dvd set. I can't wait to see those fun adventures with Rick and family, friends again after all these years. Thanks for reading."

LOVE IT!
