I was so excited when I was able to purchase the first season of Silver Spoons. I grew up watching Silver Spoons and couldn't wait until it arrived in the mail. When it finally arrived - I started to watch it right away. I wish I would be able to get more seasons, but can't seem to find them anywhere. I also would love it, if reruns of the show would be on TV. I totally loved this product.
April 28, 2008This is one of the BEST TV shows that I grew up on! I can't wait for the next season! Another tv show I will let my children watch... since they just don't make tv shows like this anymore!

Like many reviews, I too enjoyed this show. While watching this show now, it brought back many fond memories of the 80's. In the first few episodes, one can see the Rubik's Cube, mentioning the movie E.T., classic arcade games such as Pac-Man, etc. One can also see a VERY young Jason Bateman who was sooooooo cute on the show and even Gary Coleman from Diff'rent Strokes makes an appearance on "The Great Computer Caper" episode. My favorite episode is "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" mainly because Jason is seen throughout the entire episode!! :D SUPERB acting, Jason, for your character as Derek Taylor!!! You've should've gotten just as much publicity as Ricky Schroder did if not MORE!!! And also because I remember seeing this one when 'Spoons first aired.
I highly recommend this to anyone who's a Jason Bateman or a Ricky Schroder fan (like myself) or to someone who also likes shows such as Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, Punky Brewster, etc. Please, Sony Pictures, bring us Seasons 2-4 soon. Thanks.
January 6, 2008I got this set for christmas, and it was definitely my favorite gift this year! Silver Spoons was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I was the same age as Ricky when the show first aired, and I remember looking forward to it coming on each week! Back then I never would have imagined I'd get to see it all again, some 25 years later! I put the first disc in, and as soon as the intro started and showed the Silver Spoons logo and the house, it took me right back to being 10 years old again! I didn't think I remembered the theme song, but as soon as it started I sang every word. My 12-year-old son watched the first 5 episodes with me, and he laughed as much as I did. With it being an early 80's show, I wasn't expecting it to be quite as funny for me at 35 as it was at 10, but it was. They really had some good writers for the show! Lots of funny lines that kept us laughing even today. We can't wait to watch the rest!
December 27, 2007I bought this dvd set, because it reminded me of when I was a kid and watched it on tv. I just thought Ricky Schroeder was the best and oh so cute!! LOL!!!! Watching them, just brought back a lot of great childhood memories. Of course the show is corny and watching it now versus then, there is a huge difference in how I perceive it. I did enjoy it though. So if you are looking for something that is light hearted and will remind you of some fond 80's memories, don't let this set pass you by!!!!
