miss concerts at stadiums, @ drive in movies bummer for me had to go to all boys high school i didn't have a choice my dad was a football coach it was free
Extra talented--actor, singer and songwriter--wrote the 'Diff'rent Strokes' theme with then-wife Gloria Loring. (Uh-uh, don't ask me what I am talking about).
There was this one episode that Alan character and Kirk character were talking serious I think it was a drug episode and Alan put his hand on this son thigh massaging it. Kirk almost broke character but he seemed caught off guard by it or uncomfortable.
If there was one thing that Jeremy Miller & Kirk Cameron had in common was that they were very jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio whom they felt stole his thunder. Look what happened, he won an Oscar.
Brings back such good memories! I loved growing pains and still enjoy the re-runs when I catch them on tv today. This show talked about real things kids go thru and families deal with. There just isn't tv shows like this today. So glad i grew up in the time I did.
Your scale of success is relative/subjective. I think most, if not all the members went on to have some degree of success in different areas of entertainment and life in general. For example, Joanna Kerns is a successful director and Kirk Cameron has had success as well.
Leo has a gift!!! They were all wonderful and some have managed to have success beyond the show, but I would say Leo has definitely gone beyond being just a pretty face to showing he has a real talent!!!
RIP Alan.I am chinese, for chinese in my age(born 80s), Growning Pain is the first, and most popular show in China. I had so many great memories. Jason, Maggie, Mike..... just so many memories.
timmyyyt 0 why would you say its bootlegged ? china acutally bought the copyright to play back then. And it is shame for you to say so while you have no idea what you are talking about.
Growing Pains is without a doubt the greatest family sitcom and greatest show ever! It's funny and serious the acting is great it has fun storylines it teaches important life lessons it addresses serious topics all while being funny and it has a fourth wall episode called Meet the Seavers that's very creative and so brilliant my favorite part in the episode is when the set guy carries Ben over his shoulder it's seriously the perfect show!
It's looks like new DVD releases review history books documentary about biography book club fun more information on maze's contact information on the best TV show on doing live in concert
80's and 90's had a lot of the most awesome shows especially family shows that taught family values and the love of a family like this beloved shows. We will never have awesome eras like those decades ever again.
@@jake23058 That kid was Ashley Johnson she is 36 now lol and she did the voice for one of the best video game characters and most beloved off all time and was Ellie off The Last of Us, she has another little game ;) called the last of us part 2 coming out and it going to revolutionise acting and stories in video games.
No, it isn't. Homosexuality and race are not beliefs. They are unchangeable parts of a person. Religion is not. And there are many christians who ignore the more bigoted parts of their religion, Cameron and you, choose not to.
This show has a special place in my heart. It was a massive sensation in China when it was aired. They become household names. Of course Mike is every girl's first crush. Wow so many fond memories
Me too.I am a woman but she seemed very beautiful for me..Joanna Kerns was gorgeous in the 80' s and is still fine..Tracey Gold became a lovely woman as for her and the youngest brother is cutest than when he was a kid..times have changed!
Actually, Alan Thicke co-wrote the themes from Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts Of Life. He and his then wife, actress and singer Gloria Loring, wrote those themes. Also, the Sever family had a little girl (Chrissy Sever) in the final seasons of the show played by Ashley Johnson, who never seems to be mentioned.
Growing pains was a great show back in the 80's.Its like a real family,but a laugh as well and how the young stars reunited 1st time..."It's so fantastic"!!!
Not one mention of Andrew Koenig who played Boner. He committed suicide in a Vancouver park during the time of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. His father said one of the reasons of his depression was that he could not find a bigger role afterwards and was frustrated for being remembered only as Boner. Before his death, he was a political activist.
Why wasn't Krissy (Ashley Johnson) a part of this reunion? She was a late commer in the last two seasons of the series, and a very cute addition, at that.
The producers really dropped the ball. Alan and Joanna wanted Leonardo to continue the show after Kirk left, but the show runners didn't think he was a good enough actor to do it.
Lol! And how the tables have turned! Now Leonardo is one of the best actors going probably and Kirk can't act his way out of a wet paper bag! And he went on to make one of the worst movies of all time, "Saving Christmas"!
Kirk and his wife run a camp for families with sick children. Camp Firefly welcomes the whole family, they get to do fun things, and the parents get to have time for themselves and each other. What a wonderful place.
Yeah he was being really generous when he threw a multiyear tempter tantrum and had the producers fire a woman because he didn't approve of her past. And when he called the producers pornographers and demanded they rewrite all of his scenes. Any woman that can be satisfied with a cildish narcisist like that is not one I want anything to do with, He has nothing I'm jealous of. Not sure where the athiem stuff is coming from and last time i checked, athiets do not have an hq.
I heard that Kirk went fundamentalist Christian and wouldn't do scenes where he was "sinning" by being more or less a horny teenager. It tanked the show and Leo was cast to fill the void.
Yes Kirk is a christian but he has no cents of humor cuz he put Alan in his place when he said being with Joanna is like riding a bike. Come on Kirk even God has a cents of humor cuz he created u. Besides Alan was not going to push it beyond that one remark cuz he is a professional & he knows what to say & do cuz he been in this type of business longer then Kirk has. SMFH @ Kirk
+Mr. Allen C. Sokolik Jr. (Awesome One) Hmm, I had to go back and see what he said... what's the big deal about "don't start Alan"...? I could see Alan wasn't amused by the comment though or it could have been the editing?
This DAMN jingle comes in my head more than any other!! It's madness I tell you. And I listened to many different types of music growing up and watched several different shows, BUT, this 1, is the headringer of HEADRINGERS! Ok, I will admit I love it as indirerctly as possible though.
I love a family that acts like a family because it shows that they really do act like a real family--aka when people ask "do you really act like family off set? They really DO!! Love the kids gagging as they deal with parents being "cute"!
Beautiful straight woman, attractive straight guy. I'm sure it happens on every set unless the other person is a complete douche. Cast mates have been ogling, dating and banging each other since the beginning of TV.
Alan and Joanna were both going through divorces when they auditioned for the show, when they met there was an attraction. They really liked each other, had fun together, enjoyed working with each other, trusted each other and were very supportive of each other. Joanna has said that Alan was such a nice guy that whenever she would get upset over something silly on set, Alan would be there to comfort her and make her laugh. They considered dating but decided against it because it would have affected the show and characters if it didn't work out. They had a very special and amazing friendship up until Alan's death. I have much respect and admiration for both of them for so many reasons. They were also like a second set of parents to the kids, they were very much like a family and that's a rarity nowadays. I love that they stayed close with each other even after the show ended. 😄
The 80's was awesome!
Best decade ever!
saturday morning cartoons and nintendo :)
miss concerts at stadiums, @ drive in movies bummer for me had to go to all boys high school i didn't have a choice my dad was a football coach it was free
Ariel692769 YES I TOO MISS THE 80s

Rest in peace Alan Thicke.
Extra talented--actor, singer and songwriter--wrote the 'Diff'rent Strokes' theme with then-wife Gloria Loring. (Uh-uh, don't ask me what I am talking about).
Juliaflo that's where Robin got his voice from
Chris Mc Evoy he's under "Thicke" dirt
and Boner.
There was this one episode that Alan character and Kirk character were talking serious I think it was a drug episode and Alan put his hand on this son thigh massaging it. Kirk almost broke character but he seemed caught off guard by it or uncomfortable.
If Bruce Willis played Jason I would have been in love with Dad! My 2 teen crushes on 1 show! Bruce and Kirk!
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Allison, hope you’re safe and well?
R.I.P. Alan Thicke
RIP Alan. From China.
Did Leonardo have a large role where had he not blown up and become famous as he did, would he be big enough to appear in this reunion segment?
If there was one thing that Jeremy Miller & Kirk Cameron had in common was that they were very jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio whom they felt stole his thunder. Look what happened, he won an Oscar.
the fuck they look better older than younger
Isn't the guy who the interviewer called Brad Pitt actually Shawn Cassidy?
no that's bp .. I remember him on there
The producer of this segment really dropped the ball.
They all look fantastic. Tracey Gold especially. She completely overcame anorexia and looks the sexiest she's ever looked.
She's a beautiful lady.
DAVID veilleux
Yes she is!
Her sister, Missy, was on Benson.
Dr. Jason Seaver was the one of the greatest television dads of the 1980's.
Brings back such good memories! I loved growing pains and still enjoy the re-runs when I catch them on tv today. This show talked about real things kids go thru and families deal with. There just isn't tv shows like this today. So glad i grew up in the time I did.
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Lauren, hope you’re safe and well?
The most insignificant cast member Leonardo DiCaprio, went on to the greatest success after the show.
I totally agree, it was a pain to watch the entire season.
Your scale of success is relative/subjective. I think most, if not all the members went on to have some degree of success in different areas of entertainment and life in general. For example, Joanna Kerns is a successful director and Kirk Cameron has had success as well.
Art Boston. Most overrated...successful at being overrated? Yep
Leo has a gift!!! They were all wonderful and some have managed to have success beyond the show, but I would say Leo has definitely gone beyond being just a pretty face to showing he has a real talent!!!
He can thank Jack Nicholason for that
Probably the most lovable cool TV Dad there was. If I had to pick one TV family to go live with it would have been the Seavers.
How about Bob Saget or Tony Danza? Yup I also will choose Papa Seavers (RIP).
I would have picked the Seavers.
Uncle Phil was
RIP Alan.I am chinese, for chinese in my age(born 80s), Growning Pain is the first, and most popular show in China. I had so many great memories. Jason, Maggie, Mike..... just so many memories.
no，back to 80s， china purchased a lot of American cartoon and TV shows.
The same here. It was my favourite.
timmyyyt 0 why would you say its bootlegged ? china acutally bought the copyright to play back then. And it is shame for you to say so while you have no idea what you are talking about.
Me too. this is my childhood
Lol what?

Rip Alan Thicke! the good die young. You are missed!
Meagan's Make Up Travel Vlogs!! For whom, vampires?
The mom still looks hot
It's funny how we can appreciate that, now that we're older.
I really noticed Joanna Kerns's hotness on a TV movie she did around 1992.
And she's still alive
I'd do her
I always thought she was hot and she doesn't seem to age. The definition of cougar
80's and 90's had a lot of the most awesome shows especially family shows that taught family values and the love of a family like this beloved shows. We will never have awesome eras like those decades ever again.
You bet and I'm from the 80s. Now the set is filled with derogatory languages. I cannot even watch a good movie with out them..
无论是哪个国家，哪个人群，只要你看过他们，你就会爱他们一辈子，因为他们已经成为无数80,90后青春的一部分
以前看的是配音版，连配音演员都很火。不知现在可以在哪儿看
GMA host looks a lot like a young Joanna Kerns.
I'm glad they had this reunion. Rest in peace Alan and thanks for some great laughs
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Debra, hope you’re safe and well?
rip, Alan Thicke
This show and the Cosby Show were pivotal to my teen years. Loved it then and still do today. Rest In Peace Mr. Thicke.
Yes
Don't forget Family Ties. They had the best TV Moms in the 1980's. Joanna Kearns would have ben fantastic on a Soap Opera back in the day. 😊
RIP Alan Thicke, you'll be missed. Thank you for all the laughs.
What about Chrissy.
She is only in two seasons and really for a brief time.
Oh yeah I forgot about her. Thanks for the reminder.
shes in her late 20s i think i saw her in a movie with mel gibson
And where's Leonardo DiCaprio? Do the other cast members think they're too good for him?
@@jake23058 That kid was Ashley Johnson she is 36 now lol and she did the voice for one of the best video game characters and most beloved off all time and was Ellie off The Last of Us, she has another little game ;) called the last of us part 2 coming out and it going to revolutionise acting and stories in video games.
Thank you Alan for a great childhood. They don't and never again will make them like this.
agree
Ruben Valenzuela Glenn Frey among them!
I am so heart broken when I heard we lost Allen Thicke.. R.I.P Jason Seaver. You left is to soon.. But never forgotten. God Bless..
I was born in the 90's and I still love this show
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you erika, hope you’re safe and well?
No, it isn't. Homosexuality and race are not beliefs. They are unchangeable parts of a person. Religion is not. And there are many christians who ignore the more bigoted parts of their religion, Cameron and you, choose not to.
BJ Thomas had such a distinct voice. Amazing
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you iris, hope you’re safe and well?
This show has a special place in my heart. It was a massive sensation in China when it was aired. They become household names. Of course Mike is every girl's first crush. Wow so many fond memories
As a kid watching Growing Pains I had a crush on Joanna, 25 years later I still do.! Damn!
Me too.I am a woman but she seemed very beautiful for me..Joanna Kerns was gorgeous in the 80' s and is still fine..Tracey Gold became a lovely woman as for her and the youngest brother is cutest than when he was a kid..times have changed!

Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you, hope you’re safe and well?
Wow! Joanna Kerns ages so great!
RIP Allan Thicke
Kirk Cameron ，how can i love you so much！
Actually, Alan Thicke co-wrote the themes from Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts Of Life. He and his then wife, actress and singer Gloria Loring, wrote those themes. Also, the Sever family had a little girl (Chrissy Sever) in the final seasons of the show played by Ashley Johnson, who never seems to be mentioned.

That theme song puts a big smile on my face and a few tears in my eyes!!!
the white cosby show
Yeah except without the drugging up of woman and taking advantage of them
smart flocker lol
That's exactly what I said
It was The Cosby Show meets Father Knows Best
So sorry to hear of Alan Thicke passing....rip
Alan Thicke here reminds me of Sylvester Stallone!

Where's Chrissy
That's what I was wondering too.
She was put in a blender and fed to the Olsen twins to make them even cuter
thinking that the whole time too
Nobody cares.
I care. At least I can see Chrissy (Ashley Johnson) on "Blindspot"
I think Kirk Cameron looks better now than when he was younger.
This was definitely one of my favorite shows growing up♡
Not one mention of Andrew Koenig who played Boner. He committed suicide in a Vancouver park during the time of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. His father said one of the reasons of his depression was that he could not find a bigger role afterwards and was frustrated for being remembered only as Boner. Before his death, he was a political activist.
Oh my God Bruce Willis LOL lolololol the fevers would have been dying hard with a vengeance lolol LOL lolol
Lost Alan too early. And we lost Kirk to Christian delusion too. Both sad.
Why wasn't Krissy (Ashley Johnson) a part of this reunion? She was a late commer in the last two seasons of the series, and a very cute addition, at that.
The producers really dropped the ball. Alan and Joanna wanted Leonardo to continue the show after Kirk left, but the show runners didn't think he was a good enough actor to do it.

Kirk and his wife run a camp for families with sick children. Camp Firefly welcomes the whole family, they get to do fun things, and the parents get to have time for themselves and each other. What a wonderful place.
Including blended and rainbow families lol
Don't forget the fact that he was co-host of way of the master
Yeah he was being really generous when he threw a multiyear tempter tantrum and had the producers fire a woman because he didn't approve of her past. And when he called the producers pornographers and demanded they rewrite all of his scenes.
Any woman that can be satisfied with a cildish narcisist like that is not one I want anything to do with, He has nothing I'm jealous of. Not sure where the athiem stuff is coming from and last time i checked, athiets do not have an hq.
@Miriam Block
Who ??
Kirk, even into middle age....STILL a heartthrob!....He is just one of those men that get more handsome as they age...He is just beautiful
Such a great show!! Childhood memories
It's funny that you are attacking his intolerance with more intolerance. He is a good man and he is being true to his beliefs.
Nobody is mentioning how great B.J.Thomas performed the theme song!
Why isn't the little girl who played Crissy ever with them or at least mentioned?
Looking at real statistics, crime decreased drastically since the 80s, so it's actually safer to leave your front door unlocked.
RIP Alan Thicke
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you kibibi, hope you’re safe and well?
I heard that Kirk went fundamentalist Christian and wouldn't do scenes where he was "sinning" by being more or less a horny teenager. It tanked the show and Leo was cast to fill the void.

Love them all. Grew up watching the show.
wasn't there a 2nd daughter
Yep
Why they don't do programs like this anymore?
Divorce drug black life matters
it is reunion without ashley Johnson. dhr play the second daughter
I wish they would make a reboot show. Loved this show
The whole cast looks fantastic i grew up watching Growing Pains
RIP Alan you will be miss greatly😢
This DAMN jingle comes in my head more than any other!! It's madness I tell you. And I listened to many different types of music growing up and watched several different shows, BUT, this 1, is the headringer of HEADRINGERS! Ok, I will admit I love it as indirerctly as possible though.
Favourite Growing Pains moment, Mike saying to Boner, 'You're dad's name is, Sylvester Stabone? '
My TV Dad has died. :-( That sucks
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED this show!!❤️ RIP Allen Thicke❤️❤️
Hello 👋🏻 nice to meet you Bridget, hope you’re safe and well?
I am so a child of the 80'sh
I’m a child of the 2000’s but I love this show so much and have seen it twice already! And it won’t be the last time!
Loved Growing Pains and love to see how well they’re all doing!
I love a family that acts like a family because it shows that they really do act like a real family--aka when people ask "do you really act like family off set? They really DO!! Love the kids gagging as they deal with parents being "cute"!
Those that put down an actor like Kirk for being a believer and accepting Jesus, sorry. Your ignorance is troubling.
Janna Watson think his religious stance was based on his denied expectations with the opposite sex. Though bad, I don't feel sorry for him.
We don't put him down for being a believer, we put him down for being a knob.
No really he became a jerk after he became a Christian
Where's Ashley Johnson who played Chrissy??
I used to see this show on "Nick at nite", when i was a teenager :)
Lately I've been going through my perfect strangers phase hehe the 80s had some good sitcoms!
Jo Anna Kearns resembles Jennifer Aniston.
N B No she doesnt.
Alan Thicke--one of my favorite t.v. dads--rest in heavenly peace.
The fact that Joanna Kerns and Alan Thicke were a real life love interest warms my heart!
Beautiful straight woman, attractive straight guy. I'm sure it happens on every set unless the other person is a complete douche. Cast mates have been ogling, dating and banging each other since the beginning of TV.
Really?Is is true? If it is true,they made a fine couple..In the Tv shows they had a very good chemistry.
Alan and Joanna were both going through divorces when they auditioned for the show, when they met there was an attraction. They really liked each other, had fun together, enjoyed working with each other, trusted each other and were very supportive of each other. Joanna has said that Alan was such a nice guy that whenever she would get upset over something silly on set, Alan would be there to comfort her and make her laugh. They considered dating but decided against it because it would have affected the show and characters if it didn't work out. They had a very special and amazing friendship up until Alan's death. I have much respect and admiration for both of them for so many reasons. They were also like a second set of parents to the kids, they were very much like a family and that's a rarity nowadays. I love that they stayed close with each other even after the show ended. 😄
Joanna hasn't aged a bit! She looks fabulous!
Question...was the name "Seavers" a play on "Cleavers" ?
That's interesting I never thought about that way.
