 The
NBC sitcom "Silver
Spoons" featured
Rick(y) Schroder as Ricky Stratton, a bright and resourceful young man
who finds his way into the home his rich father Edward Stratton III
(Joel Higgins), a man he had never known. Edward was as much of a child
as Ricky and together they taught each other valuable lessons: Ricky
showed Edward how to be a father and Edward helped Ricky discover how to
have fun. The home was a great place to be a kid, filled with video
games, toys, and even a miniature railroad. Kate (Erin Gray) was
Edward's secretary, main love interest, and, in 1985, became Mrs.
Stratton. Originally Jason Bateman portrayed Ricky's friend Derek but
Alonso Ribeiro replaced him as Ricky's friend, Alfonso, in 1984. The
series' title is derived from the expression bestowed on children of the
rich who are said to be born with a "silver spoon" in their mouth,
implying a life of privilege without the personal effort to attain said
wealth. |
