During production of Season 2, Leonard Lightfoot was fired from the show after bringing a loaded gun onto the set. Why? I don't know. He was then replaced by Franklyn Seales in a similar role as Business Manager Dexter Stuffins.
Ahhh, the 80's. Groundbreaking diversity with a black starring in role as a house negro. Well at lease he didn't shuffle, Alfonso Rivera took care of that with the moon walking black best friend.
I remember watching this show on Saturday nights. I always thought that I would love to have those toys, especially the train that rode around the house.
@wrongboi Me, too; and this was such a cute show. I wish I had been older during the 80s so that I could have enjoyed the period more. I was a little girl during that time. Things are so lame now. No really good music, tv shows, no morals anymore. The 80s.....a time gone by. > :-(
@elnino559 Hi, sweetness. You are sooooooo right!!! I'll have to agree with you on that. Now, everything is just weird and boring. The music sucks. TV shows are crap. The fashions are lame. There is just no originality anymore. Morality is virtually non-existent, and there are no standards at all in anything whatsoever!!! Ah...... I really miss that time period, too. > :-(
@tanrat7 The U.S. has a lot building that look like that. I saw one in Center City Philadelphia. It looked similar to a castle. It was an armory that is still used today. It's located on 23rd St. in Phila.
you just showed your ignorance. there are MANY mansions in the US that look like castles. even certain reserve military installations and police HQs are designed in similar styles.
@NYCPulpHero HA! Who's the ignorant one? I just found this excerpt at wikipedia about the Silver Spoons show
"The brick Tudor period mansion shown in the opening credits is actually a private residence located in Warwickshire, England. The elaborate home, named Compton Wynyates, was built in 1481."
I was right wasn't I? I had a feeling this castle was older than any castle in US and likely in Europe which has much older buildings. but I'm showing my ignorance?
@tanrat7 *MASSIVE FACEPALM* im talking styles of castle-like mansions in the US. you know what.. forget it. just forget it. you've certainly done a number
@absdilsey....wow! I can see Justin Bieber playing Ricky Shroeder's part if they decide to make this a movie. Seems all the 80s and 90s showa are becoming movies....HULK, A-TEAM, etc.
@kiki1cola1 Personally, I think this should be remade into something similar to what Disney Channel has and have Jake T. Austin starring as Ricky Stratton. It should actually be a continuation of the original. Rick Stratton Sr. (Rick Schroder) is now married to a female (played by former child star Kim Richards) and decides to live close by to his father Edward. The adventures would continue with both father and son in separate Plot A and B stories.
@DrFubarProzak Look CHILD this isn't for grownups. I hope your mama washes your mouth out with soap. I did not ask about YOU so stop telling me about you and leave me alone.
@Dizzybear WHITE AGAINST NIGGER RACISM IS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BEING EXPOSED. LEARN THE REAL HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY YOU STUPID NIGGER...FUCK OFF AND DIE.
@ComcastZ26 - Ha ha ha!!! Good point. I thought the same thing. It's like come on man, let's see some more of this giant house. Just a typical compact set. Fun to pretend and buy into the magic. Would be interesting to know where that house/castle/mansion really is though.
So this is how it works, minorities sit down after school and saw stupid shows like this where white people have servants and a fucking train running through their living room, assume that this is how "it is for white people" and then racistly go around telling us how we're all rich and privledged. wow. what bullshit.
You seem intelligent. You have to admit that whites did have it a hell of a lot better. We did go to school with poor white kids too. whites are more down to eye level with everyone else now so its really ticking em off, now more than ever.
all man, he would eat tons of it, I think he was crazy before but after the success of the show he just went total nuts and started doing all types of stuff, he ate dog shit and used to pin up posters and cats having sex on his trailer walls...true story
yeh , wow ! so leonard lightoot was eating alot of dog shit . that makes alot of sense. what a terrible actor he was , if you call that acting .leonard lightfoot is proof that anyone can be an actor . eating dog shit must have really messed with his mind.
What a very sick man he was . Thank God
he got kicked out of Television !
Thanks 1980Triumph ! What other stories you got on that Psycho Freak ?
