They basically repeated Rudy's old storylines through Olivia though.
Great video!
Thank you!
Imagine Family Matters let Urkel go because he became too popular. Thats the thing with Sitcoms, you have to evolve the show on how the audience responds.
Back then there was so much cocaine flowing through that business the producers couldn’t make sober decisions. Bateman totally stole that show.
I show that show to my kids so they can see what my teenage years were like. I loved It's your move. It was Parker Lewis can't lost stole the concept.
My 2 children and I watched Silver Spoons JUST because of Jason Bateman…once he was booted,we stopped watching.
How bout Jimminy Glick. That character was absolutely hysterical.
He’s one of those that you hear about who turned down a certain iconic roles(Ferris Bueller, Full Metal Jacket). But often you think it wouldn’t have been as good if…But in his case he would definitely have pulled them off as well as the ones who ended up doing them. Unfortunate because he was a really unique and talented young actor.
I
He was absolutely the best of the brat pack, not even close. Most funny, genuine, and especially likeable!
I thought so too!
Tv execs have been known to get things wrong
I thought Ricky was cute. But now that I'm older I realize Bateman was cuter. Probably why they got rid of him.
Imagine a television show where a woman was an assistant to a man and, not only didn't constantly ridicule and humiliate him, but actually fell in love with him. Such a show could never exist today.
Interesting insight!
Interesting, never knew this. Grew up watching this and Derrick was my favorite character. Both are my age. As far as the decision, definitely a bad one IMO
Holy crap $4.99 a minute in 1994 is 10.70 today.
WOW!
the blessing of the internet, meant no more charge per minute😁 & and the ability to remain hidden by not having to leave the house to get spicy content.🤩
Yep!
Bateman is awesome
For sure!
I am not saying this is necessarily incorrect, but how do we know it is true? You seem to read from a sheet that says it was a decision by network executives. About as vague as the moon on a cloudy day. Would be nice to have some actual detail. Perhaps the name of an executive and/or a quote. Anything. Even what you were reading from.
Hey bro, it’s time to either put something up, or take down your 3M strips. Jess-sayin’.
Our parents stopped them.
Bro, your intro is too long! Nobody does long intros anymore boomer. Lol.
I miss 900 numbers, all my girlfriends had 900 numbers.
I would have imagined the 900 designation was to help the ill-informed that they were making a toll or non-local call. As a kid was pretty clear if I was making a phone call and had to start with a one that I better ask an adult first. The 976 numbers that creeped out of nowhere during one summer vacation seemed like a harmless call to a local recording. Many parents including my own had to pay some consequences and remember those ads started to add 'kids asking your parents permission'.
I did a bunch in middleschool thinking I could outsmart the phone company by hanging up before a minute. Based on my fathers reaction to the phone bill I was wrong 😅
LOL!
I remember that SNL Bit! Thought it was a riot!
I bet it was.
wow bud. You gave the warning but I didn t expect an hour of the "n" word. Unsubscribed.
There was no "n" word used.
@@retrocereal Ok Boomer
He stole the show, no doubt lol
$4.99 a minute! that is outrageous! in less then a TV sitcom that's a $100.00
Yes it is.
I actually liked its “ it’s your move” then the actor that played the boyfriend. I thought him and Jason had good chemistry on screen.
Good show. No. I could tell JB was a talent back then. They should have kept him. Erin Gray was actually who got this 10 year old boy to watch every week. :) She was really something.
1-900-wet-such and such
Retro Cereal, the first me I remember seeing Jason Bateman was on Little House on the Prairie as James Cooper along with Melissa (née Missy) Francis playing siblings James and Cassandra Cooper whose parents were killed in a wagon accident.
RetroCereal, saying “People with Disabilities” or “Disabled People” are not ‘dirty’ words. I, myself, prefer the latter because it flows better.
Thank you. It's just people get so sensitive these days its hard to know.
I thought he got fired because of Naked Nurses from Outter Space 😅
Jason got fired because he would not have sex with Ricky but Alfonso did have sex with Ricky
LOL!
Do I think it wss good they removed Jsdon Bateman from Silver Spoons cause he was too popular? Hell no.That was the dumbest reason they let him go. Now I can understand if they let him go cause he was difficult to deal with like Suzane Summers on Three's Company, but Jason Bateman wasnt difficult at all he helped to make the show Derick was a sleeze and a creep which made the show good one of the reasons I watched Silver Spoons was cause of Derick the 80's Eddie Haskel and Ive seen Its your move that show bombed they should have brought back Derick after the departure the only reason I watched it was cause of Tricia Cast she wss a babe. What can I say? I'm a guy.
As if the people on those 900 calls looked like that on the other line! Pretty models. The real ones probably had their bath robes on with rollers in their hair! 😂 Dionne Warwick and the Psychic Friends Network! 😂 Never called them!
LOL!
Silver Spoons was only so-so, was pretty much a cheap show. Cheap sets, cheap writing, and as we all know now, Ricky Schroeder is a horrible person. Most cable companies airing reruns yanked it a long time ago. The show is best forgotten.
No, I did not watch Silver Spoons. Having been a senior in HS when it first aired, I was not occupied with TV
I never dialed but I was curious🤣🤷♀️👀!
Same
Yes they Should have kept him in they were good pair
Why don’t they release the rest of the seasons of Silver Springs I been waiting forever?
I recall the Miss Cleo and Freddie Krueger versions.
Those where good ones!
Miss Cleo with the best fake accent till this day!
Are you kidding me? I never dialed that crap!
Neither did I
Thankfully they are no longer here.
Loved that show. Batman, legend.
He is more famous then Ricky . Jason was on Little House On The Prairie!
He was overshadowing Ricky!
I remember “It’s Your Move” being hilarious. According to an interview with Jason Batemen, it was canceled because it influenced too many young boys to do bad things. I was one of those kids. lol
Jason Bateman, good actor. He could have been a leading actor but I guess he got typecast because of his roles as a kid.
