growing pains the complete series
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
In one of the extras, it’s said that the reason “Growing Pains” worked is because it featured five television stars. That certainly helped, but the secret to the show’s success lies more in the dynamic of the family. Leaving the father at home and sending the mom out to work, while creating a very open home environment, made the show stand out from the pack of family sitcoms that emerged during he ’80s.
Personally, the fact that the show was set on Long Island made it highly attractive to me, as I could easily relate to Ben Seaver, the youngest child, played by Jeremy Miller. But before popping these discs in to review, I couldn’t remember much else, besides Mike Seaver (Kirk Cameron) and his garage apartment, and the theme song. Therefore, it was something of a shock when Mike yelled “I’m probably gay!” or when Jason (Alan Thicke) and Maggie (Joanna Kearns) traded sexual innuendos. This was no G-rated family comedy.
