Arrested Development star Jason Bateman was just a tween when he made his TV debut on Little House on the Prairie (1974-83) in 1982. On which show was his next recurring role?
Answer Silver Spoons
Apparently, Bateman's pre-teen star rocketed so high following his debut as Derek Taylor on Silver Spoons that the show's producers worried he'd upstage the lead, Ricky Schroder. So they yanked him after one season. The next year, Bateman would star in his own sitcom, It's Your Move (1984-85).
