"Growing Pains" Season 1 on DVD
 

I caught only the last 5 minutes of the Growing Pains cast reunited on Larry King last night. I guess they were on to promote the release of the complete first season on DVD. I will be buying that! Did anyone catch the show last night? What were the highlights?

My family adopted a kid that used to live in a utlity closet after they watched that show.

--It changed our lives forever

But did that kid go on to win a lifetime achievement award at age 30? I think not.

He shamed the family by masturbating on the big screen so we lost touch with him.

yes! we watched an episode of wonder years in class the other day and it made me want that show on dvd. Long overdue!

As long as we got each other
We got the world spinning right in our hands
Baby you and me
We gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never stop dreaming...

Off the top of my head so I don't know if it's stop or quit.

One of the best TV theme songs of the 80s, IMO.

From a website, so it must be right...

Show me that smile again. (Show me that smile)
Don't waste another minute on your cryin.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.

Oooohhh. As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands.
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin.

As long as we keep on givin
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin the laughter and love.

Was Growing Pains or Family Ties the show that had an episode where Tom Hanks punches the son after they call him out on being an alcoholic.

I know Growing Pains was a good show, BUT PUT MR. BELVEDERE ON DVD!!!!

That was Family Ties. Tom Hanks was Meredith Baxter Birney's brother and punched Alex. :)

Yes Mr. Belvedere was a great show but dammit give me Facts of Life!!!!!

I always get "Growing Pains" and "Family Ties" mixed up.

I saw the Larry King show! I was happy to learn that they were all doing well (even Ben mostly) but I didn't hear if they mentioned how Boner was.

Sylvester Stabone!

My favorite episode has to be the one where Carol's BF Sandy (Matthew Perry) was drinking and driving, got into an accident and died.

That and the one where Ben's calling those 900 Phone Sex numbers.

omg.....those were my favorite episodes too!

As well as "New Ben."

I could REALLY relate to Ben for some reason.

Co-sign! And add to that Silver Spoon!

That was a good one!! My favorite was when Jason's mom was getting remarried on the cruise and the whole family was invited. Poor Mike, was going to finally tell his family that he was in love with the babysitter (in fact, I think they planned on getting married) and she dumped him. I can still remember the end of that episode when he is reading her goodbye letter. Good thing for Mike and Kirk Cameron she dumped him or else he wouldn't have ended up with Kate, the actress that Kirk married in real
life.
Wasn't that actress (the babysitter) written off that show because she posed for Playboy?
