A
classic 80's sitcom.
Silver Spoons concerned
Ricky Stratton and his
millionaire single father Edward.
Just about every kid who watched the show wanted to live in the Stratton household. It featured a
toy train that went around the house and an
impressive collection of
arcade games. Ricky lived the life every kid wants to, and got to learn plenty of
special lessons along the way. Silver Spoons existed in the same Sitcom-verse as
Diffrn't Strokes and
Arnold Jackson (
Gary Coleman) would often stop by to visit Ricky.
The show was recently added to
Nick at Nite's all 80's Sunday nights and is worth checking out if only for all the neat 80's
stuff. It's like a
time capsule in sitcom form. The
clothes, the
slang, the
guest stars - it's as 80's as
Dexys Midnight Runners.
