    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 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.

  • @briteskin
    @briteskin 19 днів тому

    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'.

    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.

    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.

    Jason Bateman, good actor. He could have been a leading actor but I guess he got typecast because of his roles as a kid.
