Can you believe this sitcom is 30? Premiered in 1985?


IN COMMEMORATION OF THE SHOW'S GOLDEN 30TH ANNIVERSARY......

Who can tell me what were some of the best episodes of "Growing Pains"?

What were some of the worst episodes from this series?

There was one episode where Alan Thicke directed......

Worst was the whole season with Leo Dicaprio. I always liked the eps with Matthew Perry and Tracy Golds acting when he met his demise.

This show is so enjoyable. I watched it the other day and I'm in 1985 again. :)

It's a billion times better than any garbage on TV today.

reply

How many huge stars did this show turn out?? Leo Dicaprio for one, Brad Pitt, Matthew Perry

reply

Hilary Swank, Heather Graham, Dennis Haysbert, Jennie Garth.

My favorites would be the magic rock episode, the cocaine one, when the kids break the lamp, when they think the dad has been married before.

"Jesus, does anyone?"

I think the first 5 seasons were very good, but the last two seasons especially the final one were pretty bad.

I just rewatched my favorite episode, Ben and Mike's Excellent Adventure. Mike and Ben go on a while ride to find paste and end up ditching cops and picking up chicks. Singer Robin Thicke has a small role as Ben's friend.
