SILVER SPOONS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

CULVER CITY, CALIF. (April 9, 2007) – Sony
Pictures Home Entertainment celebrates the 25th
anniversary of one of the most popular sitcoms of
the ‘80s with the June 19 DVD debut of Silver
Spoons: The Complete First Season. Starring
Ricky Schroder (The Champ), Joel Higgins (TV’s
“Bare Essence”), and Erin Gray (TV’s “Buck Rogers
in the 25th Century”), the DVD includes all 22
episodes in a three-disc boxed set. The DVD will be available for $29.95 SRP.
When Silver Spoons began its five-season,
115-episode run for NBC on September 25, 1982,
the show turned 12-year-old, Golden Globe®-winner
Ricky Schroder into an instant teen
heartthrob. With his blond, clean-cut,
all-American good looks, Schroder dominated the
pages of teen magazines in the early-to-mid ‘80s,
won two Young Artist Awards as best actor for the
series, and inspired a devoted fan base that
continues to support his acting career into adulthood (TV’s “NYPD Blue,” “24”).
The series depicted every kid’s wildest
fantasy. When Ricky Stratton (Schroder) is
reunited with his long-lost father Edward
(Higgins), Dad turns out to be a young-at-heart,
“overgrown kid” who owns a multinational toy
company empire and has turned his mansion into a
veritable playground complete with a scale model
freight train that runs throughout the
house. The role reversal inherent in the show
found Ricky more mature than his father, but
under Ricky’s influence, Edward eventually
matures, while Edward inspires Ricky to act more like a kid.
The storylines of Silver Spoons were mainly light
situations regarding classic boyhood mischief and
the misunderstandings surrounding a father and
son getting to know one another. However, in
periodic “very special episodes” during the first
season, the series dealt with tougher issues
including schoolyard bullies and kidnapped
children. Guest stars included Sharon Stone
(Basic Instinct, Casino), Mr. T (Rocky III, TV’s
“The A Team,” “I Pity the Fool”), Joseph Lawrence
(AKA Joey, TV’s “Blossom,” “Dancing with the
Stars”), Gary Coleman (TV’s “Diff'rent Strokes”),
and, in a recurring role as Ricky’s best friend,
Jason Bateman (TV’s “Arrested Development”).
