Ricky Schroeder arrested again for domestic violence

He didn't age very well.

R1 - And that picture is from 2009.

It appears he just can't stay away from the pussy

With his fists r3.

It was like a dog-shooting, wife-beating party?

I wonder what she did to make him so angry. He’s a sweetheart.

I'm betting he's prone to getting liquored up and is a mean drunk.

Another fundie with anger issues

I want to suck him off!

Don’t bother: it was bitten off by John Houseman years ago

John houseman? Who dat?

The old-fashioned way

I'm guessing he's an alcoholic

I wanted Ricky to be my first.

Child actors are just doomed.

Would never have guessed he was violent. What an asshole.

No recent pics of him? How does he pay his bills?

r13, cops were called at 12:43 am, so I am guessing you are correct.

Poor guy

R14 The first where?

On Mars!

The Ricker likes his booze.

Damn. He used to play a cop on NYPD Blue.

Such a nice butt he had. Hope someone tapped it.

I love you, R12.

He hasn't worked in front or behind the camera in over three years. One can imagine a bitter Rick drinking all day on the living room couch, yelling at Andrea about how he "used to be a big deal in this town not too long ago!"

This is a more recent photo, although I don't know how old it is.

He was great playing Dolly Partons father.

R27....that sure looks like an alcoholic

That’s a shame. ™

Surprised he hasn’t shot anyone yet. He’s an NRA nut.

Fuck, he looks good. Some of you are blind. Great blonde hair too.

He and Voigt should re-team for an update of THE CHAMP. They could play father and son Deplorables who pummel women, go to gun shows and Trump rallies, and stick up 7-11s to pay for their opioid addictions.

He originally cast in the movie "Apt Pupil" about a teen who blackmails his neighbour after suspecting him to be a Nazi war criminal.

They filmed half of the film before being shut down due to funding being withdrawn by an investor. It would later be filmed with Ian McKellan and the late Brad Renfro (trailer below)

How shocking that a divorced, NRA lovin' Rethuglican Mormon has anger management issues with women.

Glad I'm sitting down.

I don't know LA - isn't it kind of expensive to live in Topanga Canyon? Where would he have money from?

Why is he so angry??

I though he was a little, egotistical punk when he was a kid. He’s a thoroughgoing asshole as an adult. He’s repulsive.

R36 Topanga Canyon is moderately expensive. There are some really expensive estates around there, but there are decently priced (for LA, at least) places, too.

More Republican family values!

Tony Dowe lives in Topanga also.

[quote]it was bitten off by John Houseman years ago

r10 Huh?

[quote] Such a nice butt he had. Hope someone tapped it.

What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis???

You can’t cut and paste for SHIT, OP.

I saw Schroeder on some talk show years ago, the talk show host asked him about his life as a child actor. Schroeder said he had no memory of his childhood acting career, I thought that was very odd.

R43: The [italic]Diff'rent Strokes[/italic] curse is real. Don't believe me? Ask Kim Richards.

[italic]Webster[/italic] was better. They had not one, but TWO gays on it even if they were white.

R47 but Webster didn't spin off....

THE FACTS OF LIFE

Without that show there would be no Golden Girls, Sex in the City, Living Single etc

That alone makes Diff'rent Strokes superior

That's what happens when you have Jon Voight for a father.

R48: America wasn't ready for a show with Henry Polic II working at a boys' school. And now that he's dead, it's too late.

[italic]Webster[/italic] never had a character as unbelievably misogynistic as Sam McKinney.

Ricky Schroder was an unwitting figure in Helen Reddy's divorce from her husband/manager Jeff Wald. Jeff showed [italic]The Champ[/italic] and [italic]Kramer Vs. Kramer[/italic] to their son Jordan to turn the tides in his favor. This is in her book. Both of them worked for Disney Studios when Walt's family was still in charge and both worked for Embassy Television when Norman Lear still owned it.

Maybe that's why Ricky is an angry and abusive alcoholic.

There must have been some sort of abuse when he was a child actor.

Strange that he and Brad Renfro were a part of "Apt Pupil." That movie had so much drama surrounding it.

And by "drama", r56 means "child rape".

Did he hit her with a silver spoon?

[quote]Maybe that's why Ricky is an angry and abusive alcoholic.

Then what's Alec Baldwin's excuse?

He’s Irish, R60

I always thought he was one of the few "normal" ones, but I must've confused him with Chris O'Donnell or someone like that.

After what the sauce did to David Cassidy, I hoped Mormonism would at least have kept him away from it. Nope.

Closet kills

Disappointing. Seeing him on the later episodes of Silver Spoons was probably the first inkling I had as a child that I was gay. Along with Marky Mark. Seems like I had lousy instincts as a mini-gayling.

How come no one ever asks, "well, what did she do?"

This one’s easy - booze

[quote] How come no one ever asks, "well, what did she do?"

Well obviously quite the slut. I bet she dressed provocatively too.

If Jason Bateman beats his wife, all my childhood crushes will be dead to me (Ricky, Kirk, and Jason)

R69 is (appropriately) Bryan Singer.

I don't know about his ass, but apparently Kirk Cameron sucked Schroeder's dick. It was a one off, though Cameron wanted to repeat it.

All his issues stem from Mommie Dearest.

he seriously looks 65. no wonder he can't find work.

Nice fan fic, R71.

You wish.

R71, that’s nifty.

I’ve diagnosed his problem. Not enough hot daddy hugs in his youth.

He was a total hottie on Silver Spoons.

R77 = Bryan Singer

[quote][R47] but Webster didn't spin off.... THE FACTS OF LIFE Without that show there would be no Golden Girls, Sex in the City, Living Single etc That alone makes Diff'rent Strokes superior —Mindy Cohn

Mindy, hon, I think you forgot a show on that list of yours.

[quote] Seems like I had lousy instincts as a mini-gayling.

Better than anyone who had a crush on Kirk Cameron. If anyone should be in jail, it's him. His words and deeds have actually shortened the lives of gay men.

He must be a really bad Mormon. Usually Mormon guys keep their girlish good looks for awhile because they abstain from booze, cigs and drugs. Not our Ricky!

Of all the movies and TV he made in his his early career, that Disney movie he made with Elliott Gould was the most exploitative.

It's some girlfriend, not a wife. What bimbo calls the cops for abuse and then sticks around for more? It's fishy. As usual.

I would let Ricky smack me around.

Then again, I'm a sub bottom.

Exactly, R83. What was the most suspicious thing to me was the fact that she turned down medical care. What? If I had been abused like that, then I would want every qualified certified doctor l can get in touch with examining me so there would be documented proof of the abuse. Couple this with the fact that compared to most former child actors, he had a pretty clean rap sheet. Something about this doesn't add up.

And remember Cody from [italic]Step by Step[/italic]? He got arrested for domestic violence, and then later it was revealed that his girlfriend instigated it. Female-on-male abuse is not nonexistent, but it is underreported.

I'm the same age as Rick. When we were 12, he was way way cuter than me. I've lived long enough to be better looking than Ricky Schroeder.

But, eff Rick. When I was 12, it was bad boy-latter day Eddie Haskall Derek Taylor, played by Jason Bateman who stirred my loins.

I loved Derek Taylor, and was upset when he was kicked off the show. Clearly, Ricky's mom/agent felt threatened by Jason.

[quote]I would let Ricky smack me around. Then again, I'm a sub bottom.

Anyone who says they wouldn't drop trou for him is either a big fat liar or a lesbian. But then again, this is DL; I've seen people here lust after murderers who had no other claims to fame besides that.

[quote]I loved Derek Taylor, and was upset when he was kicked off the show. Clearly, Ricky's mom/agent felt threatened by Jason.

For years I've wondered why they didn't make [italic]It's Your Move[/italic] a spin-off of [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic] and had Jason play a similar but not identical character. It actually got better ratings than either [italic]Spoons[/italic] or [italic]Punky Brewster[/italic], which were both left to die up against [italic]60 Minutes[/italic] when they might have done better on Monday night away from that and the eventual return of Disney. Face it, was [italic]TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes[/italic] really must-see TV to anyone other than an accountant?

Well, you could equally wonder why Ricky took the gf back if she falsely accused him the first time. I'm pretty sure it's as simple as they are both addicted to alcohol and/or drugs and have a highly chaotic relationship filled with drama.

Daddy!

His last two TV movies were the Dolly Parton Coat of Many Colours movies. I guess he won't be back if there's a third.

Maybe Dolly will post the bail.

Speaking of John Houseman: Did you know, dear reader, that the Paper Chase was actually Orson Welle’s partner in crime for the infamous Mercury Theater production of War of the Worlds in 1938? He was right there to watch the bedlam that ensued in the studio — at one point police invaded the studio.

There was a TV movie made in the late 70s, I think it was, about that night which was actually pretty good. I forget the title.

I bring this up because I couldn’t care less about Ricky Schroeder.

^^ “Paper Chase ACTOR”

Hardly fan fic since I'm not a fan of either Cameron or Schroeder. This happened when Cameron was filming Growing Pains and Schroeder was in Silver Spoons.

My recollection of this gossip tidbit was that for Schroeder it was "experimenting" but not so much for Cameron.

Yes, Jason Bateman was fired from Silver Spoons because he was taking attention away from Ricky. Then he became the breakout star on Valerie's Family. We recently had a huge thread about the backstage drama on VF. Valerie was pissed that the show was being re-worked around Bateman because he became so popular.

r58 nearly 100 replies and this is the only one that is worth reading

R87 I remember so looking forward to It's Your Move and being disappointed with it. Jason's character wasn't enough like Derek for me. He didn't do that "super polite to adults/nasty lil horndog bro when they weren't around" thing.

Really, the way they had it on Silver Spoons was perfect, and Bateman leaving screwed the show. Alfonso Ribeiro's character who basically replaced Derek was SO fucking boring. Though John Houseman saying "He burns my BUTT!" and Pearl Bailey complaining about how much her feet hurt were amusing.

Someone uploaded the whole show onto YouTube a couple years ago along with some other unreleased-to-DVD Embassy shows; it's gone now. I enjoyed it a lot. The jokes landed more often than not, no one felt miscast regardless of how much acting experience they'd had before, and they ended before they could turn into a zombie show. I'm surprised it never fared better than the middle-of-the-pack in the ratings. Neither did [italic]St. Elsewhere[/italic], and critics worshipped that. Neither did [italic]Star Trek[/italic], and that's a whole franchise now.

R95 the whole "Sitcom lead actor jealous over breakout star" thing is as old as television itself.

But Valerie and another show on that that time had the distinction of having a lead actor who once actually WAS the breakout star of another show once. Of course, Valerie Harper should've taken it more in stride because she herself was the breakout star of the Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1970. She should've looked back at that experience and realized that her popularity did nothing to diminish Mary Tyler Moore or the character of Mary Richards- so just go with it.

The other show around this time that that exact same thing happened to was 227. Marla Gibbs had been the breakout star of The Jeffersons, but couldn't deal when Jackee did it to her on 227.

[quote] The other show around this time that that exact same thing happened to was 227. Marla Gibbs had been the breakout star of The Jeffersons, but couldn't deal when Jackee did it to her on 227.

Also from Embassy, the same producers as [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic], although it started right after Norman Lear sold the company to Coca-Cola. Regina King winning the Oscar must have really rubbed it in, especially since Isabel Sanford won an Emmy for [italic]The Jeffersons[/italic] and Marla didn't win for either shows.

The dad in khakis was the only reason to watch that show.

They also had a gay black man in an executive position when Robert Guillaume and Nell Carter were still playing domestics.

I can understand though, r99, why Valerie felt threatened. Not so much by Jason himself but the producers - who also produced Family Matters. They made Urkel the focus of EVERY episode when it was originally supposed to be about the Winslow family.

Now I realize Family Matters came after Valerie but VH rightly felt threatened that her show was being taken away from her. I can totally understand where she was coming from. Although I think the combo of Valerie and Jason was great. They both had perfect comic timing.

Marla Gibbs on the other hand really was a sour one. I loved Sandra but the whole cast was great. 227 actually worked better because of the chemistry between Gibbs and Jackee.

Professional misogynist Les Moonves became head of Lorimar when [italic]Valerie[/italic] began.

Joel Higgins had BDF. Kinda like that Gary Sandy from WKRP.

He sure aged better than John Houseman, that's for sure.

[quote] They also had a gay black man in an executive position when Robert Guillaume and Nell Carter were still playing domestics.

Weren’t there two? Which one?

Franklyn Seales, who played Dexter Stuffins, was gay and died of AIDS in 1990.

And then of course there was Family Ties, which was originally supposed to be about Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, and the kids were supposed to be background players. Then Michael J. Fox became this huge breakout star and the show revolved around him.

Almost like a white version of me.

I remember an odd bit of dialogue between the Ricker and Derek. They were going to see Duran Duran. They had amazing seats. Rick says "We'll be so close, the band will sweat on us." and Derek added "If we're lucky."

12 year old me agreed, but was shocked that they'd have Derek say that!

Rick and Jason used to suck each other off.

On that note, now I know why NBC stuck with this show and let [italic]Love, Sidney[/italic] die on the vine before the title character could come out of the closet. This show had so great of a dissonance between the text and the subtext that it made that show redundant. It was the closest thing to a male [italic]Facts of Life[/italic] that I can think of.

This episode and Derek's goodbye where they hug each other before he leaves made me think they were more than just friends. No truly str8 boys would ever be that affectionate, and certainly not in the 1980s.

They're what Beavis and Butt-head could have been with money and breeding.

He could of had Jason Bateman’s career but kinda sent off the grid. He praised Jodi Foster for her kid to adult tradition but couldn’t follow her lead. Fun fact: Loves his guns but gays are cool too

His whole career has been one long act of gay baiting with no payoff.

[quote] He could of had Jason Bateman’s career but kinda sent off the grid.

I blame the wife for that. Mormonism limited him because it pre-emptively disqualified him from roles he might have been right for that he wasn't asked to do because it was assumed he would have turned them down on religious grounds. When you see what he did do, though…

Let's be fair. Jason Bateman has some morally fishy professional associations, too, and not just that Anniston woman. For instance, there's Dustin Hoffman, his co-star in [italic]Mister Magorium's Wonder Emporium[/italic], one of those movies that confuses "loud and garish" with "charming." There's also Jeffrey Tambor, who sexually harassed Jessica Walter on the set of [italic]Arrested Development[/italic]; Jason said he wouldn't do the Netflix reboot without him. And Tambor's still a free man! There's also John Lasseter, who was head of Disney animation when they released [italic]Zootopia[/italic], which is called that because [italic]The Briar Patch Meets Sherwood Forest Meets Naboombu Meets Toontown[/italic] was too long for a marquee. And then there's Les Moonves, who as I said was in charge of Lorimar during the entire run of [italic]Valerie/Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family[/italic].

He converted to Mormonism for his wife. She was the one who filed for divorce and considering how sacred Mormons see marriage and family he must’ve fucked up royally.

That "marriage" was a sham from day one. He was more invested in the kids than in her.

GOP scum.

With his political views aside Id still hook up with Ricky. Maybe Id convince him to be swing left.

He's gonna have to go full frontal to save his career now.

[quote] With his political views aside Id still hook up with Ricky.

Get in line, bitch. I called him before the Mormons did and before that woman did.

It seemed to me that Rick dissapeared for a long while after Silver Spoons, only to reemerge in NYPD Blue in 1998. Now, I never watched it, but I got the sense that on that show he was considered a solid dramatic actor, and had made a comeback.

In November of 1998, he appeared on Howard Stern. It was one of the funniest interviews I've ever heard. Howard gave him some shit about the Ricky/Rick name change. And then Howard went to town on "magic underwear." Ricky seemed so innocent at first answering questions about his "Temple garments" having no idea of the ridicule he was in for. He actually seemed to roll with it. Said he turned Mormon for his wife, and was happy with that decision.

Then he started complaining to the press about his NYPD Blue character, and is soon after killed off. After that his career pretty much ended, at least in terms of being in A list or big network projects.

Last time I heard from him before this was a couple years ago when he was on the Joe Rogan podcast talking about hunting. He's very into it.

As for Jason Bateman- dude parties. I was once backstage at Jimmy Kimmel, he was a guest along with Andy Dick. There was much time in and out of bathrooms and dressing rooms, and both of them were wired as fuck.

Wasn't he on [italic]24[/italic] concurrently or around the time of [italic]Arrested Development[/italic]?

Time for his wife's "Independence Day".

[quote]Then he started complaining to the press about his NYPD Blue character, and is soon after killed off. After that his career pretty much ended, at least in terms of being in A list or big network projects.

He knew what he was getting into when he signed onto a Steven Bochco show, especially after all those years of working for a company owned by Norman Lear.

[quote]Now I realize Family Matters came after Valerie but VH rightly felt threatened that her show was being taken away from her. I can totally understand where she was coming from. Although I think the combo of Valerie and Jason was great. They both had perfect comic timing.

Valerie also owned 25% of the show. This is the main reason it wasn't cancelled, because even without her on it, she still made a lot of money from it.

[quote]Marla Gibbs on the other hand really was a sour one. I loved Sandra but the whole cast was great. 227 actually worked better because of the chemistry between Gibbs and Jackee

Jackee Harry admitted on a TV interview, that she didn't act appropriately. She said she was hired only for six episodes and she came from Broadway which was very cut throat. She said, she figured she'd have exactly six chances to show her "stuff" and then be forgotten, so she better make use of it. That is why she played Saundra so "larger than life." Jackee would've been a much better fit to replace Suzanne on "Designing Woman," than Julia "I never win" Duffy. Jackee also said she apologized to Marla and the two of them are friends and not mad anymore.

Last year, Ricky appeared on the Growing up Supermodel show with his ex-wife and their two daughters, who were trying to get into modeling.

Luke Schroeder

All 4 kids

I think he's 50 next year... already past mid-life crisis so diving into addict death spiral?

Ricky was a great child actor (his performance in The Champ was Oscar worthy) and never lost it as an adult. Two of his performances in TV movies from the late 80s stand out for me - one where he played Kate Jackson’s psychotic son and another where he played Corky Nemec’s abusive, thuggish older brother.

The Kate Jackson movie

Abusing Corky Nemec in My Son Johnny...

Killing Chris Sarandon in The Stranger Within

Across The Tracks with Brad Pitt was a good movie. Ricky played the troubled brother against Brad’s character, a goody two shoes track star.

Now you know why they never gave Julia Duffy an Emmy for [italic]Newhart[/italic]: it might have gone to her head and undermined that show.

Look on the bright side for two reasons:

—If this was Alfonso Ribiero, whose wife is white, the racists and the Michael Jackson haters would be all over with "I told you so" comments.

—We still have Luke Schroder to remind us of how hot dear old dad was in his prime.

His ex wife was a fan of Silver Spoons and used to write him fan mail.

He's a Drunk Deplorable.

[quote] His ex wife was a fan of Silver Spoons and used to write him fan mail.

How sweet.

Ok, I admit it... Rick(y) used to physically abuse me on the set of Spoons.

It all started out innocent enough. I'd flub a line or miss my mark and he'd just glare at me. I thought it was pretty harmless.

Then one day I didn't laugh at his joke like the script called for and he called me a cunt under his breath. I could have swore Alfonso had heard it, too but he preferred to ignore it. Said the less involved he was the better it was for all of us.

Well one day I was feeling a bit under the weather at a table reading. I innocently asked if my stand-in could run my lines while I went home and rested. Well Ricky's face went into a twisted mask of hatred and vengeance. He grabbed my wrist and drug me into a separate room. I cried out in pain and then he called me a worthless gash and slapped me straight across the face!

He was 13 years old and had the strength of a lumberjack!

I cried and begged for his mercy and he kept saying I was an untalented bitch who needed to "shut the fuck up" and "do my job" if I ever wanted to work again. He then kicked me in my stomach and I collapsed on the floor in tears.

Afterwards Joel came in and asked if I was okay. I said it would take a few minutes but I'd recover. He said good and added, "By the way...Ricky is demanding you perform oral sex on him."

I was shocked but did my bit. So much for having a silver spoon in my mouth!

The writers and producers of that show went on to create [italic]Married with Children[/italic].

[quote]Jeffrey Tambor, who sexually harassed Jessica Walter on the set of Arrested Development

He did? I thought he was abusive, not lechy.

What did he do?

If anything bad happens to any of the kids from [italic]Punky Brewster[/italic], then I will burn Hollywood to the ground.

I thought he was all Christ-y?

I guess that fits.

Where in the Bible did Jesus beat up Mary Magdalene?

Who would have paid any attention to Shroeder when he was on Silver Spoons, other than some budding homo kid, or chicken hawks. It was Joel Higgins I tuned in for. Damn he was one fine looking specimen. Still is actually.

Has Lisa Whelchel commented yet?

This recent pic is surprising.

Are the Mormons planning a rip-off of [italic]Game of Thrones[/italic]?

Luke is way hotter than the Ricker ever was, especially trading the trashy upstate accent for a Malibu one

This piece of shit had the nerve to try and get rough with me while filming a scene.

We had just finished a take where I encounter my son for the first time and after the director yelled cut, this little bastard had the gall to give me notes. Notes!

Well I told him to piss off and kiss my Oscar's ass. Then he flew into a shitfit and scratched my arm.

I tell you one thing, I was having nothing of that. Nooooottthhhhhiinnnggggg!

I quickly used my thumb and forefinger to grab his little balls and put them in a vice grip. He screamed bloody murder and I commanded the director to roll film. And those tears are what you saw up on the screen!

Now do I know how to work or what?

Is he living off the grid in a tent up in Topanga? Sure looks like it. I've seen better looking hobos.

Luke never knew life outside of Mormonism.

R155 = Max Wright, noted hobosexual

Just a couple of months ago, his daughter trashed him in a Daily Mail article. The things she complained about weren't really all that bad, and she continues to use him to try to make a name for herself.

[quote]And remember Cody from Step by Step? He got arrested for domestic violence, and then later it was revealed that his girlfriend instigated it. Female-on-male abuse is not nonexistent, but it is underreported.

Wasn't she also abusing their kids and he had been trying to protect them too? I remember seeing him on some "Where Are They Now?" shows where he got full custody of his kids sometime after he was cleared of the abuse claims.

[quote]The things she complained about weren't really all that bad, and she continues to use him to try to make a name for herself.

The nerve of that hussy!

The former Frau Schroder seems like a shady character herself, and she wasn't even of German extraction! She looked like a less pretty but less fucked-up (all things considered) version of Dana Plato.

Agree, R85, "Cody" was Sasha Mitchell, one of my favorite actors and a true movie star or should have been after "Spike of Bensonhurst". But long before the MeToo bullshit, his career was ruined by those false accusations. Even dumbshit Suzanne Somers came out against him on the show. Infuriating.

But the poster upthread does make a valid point I also considered: if this girl is such poison and causing him two ugly arrests in a month or so, why is she still there? Ricky does have his place in this too.

Maybe he got sick and tired of women both pulling the strings in his career and walking all over him in his personal life, and she bore the brunt of it because those who wronged him years ago weren't there to receive their comeuppance.

At least she's still alive, unlike the woman former [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic] guest star Bruce Jenner mowed down with his SUV like an unruly blade of grass. And unlike him, that woman is still a woman even in death.

Off Topic: Since Sasha Mitchell came up it should be noted that he is still working and pretty regularly too. He's also muscled up considerably, but is still a very handsome man. He reminds me of Ryan Idol in his later years before he went up the river.

But he has teeth like Br'er Rabbit.

Ricky had a nice chest

Franklyn Seales was no Khrystyne Haje.

At least he was no Dan Schneider either.

Is he still in the clink? Is he that broke he can't bail out?

Maybe George Dubya Bush can fork over a few simoleons.

What a surprise. The LAPD finally arrests a white man, and it's one who has more black people in his movies and TV shows than Woody fucking Allen! Racism by proxy.

I prefer this Rick, R151

Ye0, gets big time points for that. Sorry, ladies, you can take care of yourselves, ha.

R173: I was the age he was on [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic] during [italic]NYPD Blue[/italic], so I was not allowed to stay up to 10:00 PM and watch it. But MAD Magazine more than did that ass justice. At least I got some reward for coming out of the closet.

I learned everything I know from MAD magazine as a kid. Especially politics and, yeah, sex too. It was brilliant.

The Mormon ex-wife was a contestant on a Bravo design competition show over 10 years ago. She was likable and seemed cool with the other gay contestants.

On Growing Up Supermodel she came off as a bit flaky. I felt bad for her because their two daughters were complete cunts.

Was that the show hosted by Todd Oldham?

R131 Oh my God, his daughter (standing next to Luke) just JUST like Rick when he dressed as a girl on Silver Spoons!

Ricky in drag looked like a cross between Andrea McArdle and Aileen Quinn.

[quote]Who would have paid any attention to Shroeder when he was on Silver Spoons, other than some budding homo kid, or chicken hawks.

I was a baby when it was on the air, so I had to wait for reruns. If I could combine sex travel and time travel, I'd have the Joel Higgins of the 1980s, the Rick Schroder of the 1990s, and the Jason Bateman of the 2000s. And in case what they say about going black and not going back is true, I'll go back to the 1970s and have Franklyn Seales last.

[quote]I'll go back to the 1970s and have Franklyn Seales last

Make sure you use rubbers!

At least he beats up heterosexuals.

Joel had/has BDF for days. Indeed, he and Bateman were the only worthwhile things on that show.

They actually had a former [italic]Mary Tyler Moore Show[/italic] writer, Steve Pritzker, who wrote the "Some of My Best Friends Are Rhoda" episode (in which Rhoda wears a tracksuit for part of it), on staff for the first few years.

In addition, the last two seasons of [italic]Spoons[/italic] were shot at the same studio as the first two seasons of [italic]The Golden Girls[/italic]. That's why it's not a coincidence that Mitchell Hurwitz created [italic]Arrested Development[/italic].

Marla was also bitter because she was never able to take Florence to the next level. They did a spin-off for her where she was in charge of the maids at a big hotel in New York. It was called Checkin' In, but it was a big flop, so she went back to the Jeffersons.

As far as 227, the real drama was between Jackee and Helen Martin whom Jackee called a mean old bitch a few years ago.

Giving her a second season would have kept her out of the rest of her old show if it had been cancelled after that, like [italic]Flo[/italic] and [italic]The Ropers[/italic] were.

That may have been a factor in motivating Embassy to make [italic]It's Your Move[/italic] separate from [italic]Silver Spoons[/italic], since they had the same writing staff from the middle years of [italic]The Jeffersons[/italic] when "fatso" replaced "honky".
