I think what I liked most about Growing Pains was how much in love that Jason and Maggie were even after 20 years of marriage. They were the perfect example of a successful married couple with kids.
I'm a huge fan of all my retro sitcoms and embrace them all because every cast member had something beautiful to bring to the table of life both on and off screen. Rest peacefully till we all see you again Alan Thicke.
Kirk Cameron writes children's books now.. because he was at my grandsons school a few months ago promoting his new children book and my grandson and Kirk Cameron took a picture together and my son actually met him and now I've got the picture of them in my photo gallery...❤
Who ever decided on casting for Growing Pains did an excellent job. I am rewatching it for the multiple time. My boyfriend had saw the main menu on the dvd and said how they really do look like they are a family.
Wow Kirk!-@9:03 that’s right. “No, I’m not religious, I’m a Christian, not big in religion” THANK YOU for making that POINT, CLARIFICATION bc religious is NOT Christian, both COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Thanks Kirk! #fanofGrowingPains
listen up people.. religion isnt a worthy ticket to ride.. and im here to confirm that God is real .. and i don't know why you can't see and feel and know what u feel is evil thoughts flooding u and clogging ur connection that run from ur brain to your heart and from your heart to your soul and your soul to your spirit this world is temporary and it will decay and die.. our souls live on after this life.. where we go is what matters and that is based off if we accept our Lord God Almighty in heaven The Creator of everything from here on earth to that which art in heaven. thank you God I Havent felt alone since i accepted your Son into my heart 💓. God Is Great.. For His Son Jesus Died For Our Sins and was resurrected with wounds still intact .. .. He Paid For Our Ticket all we need to do is accept his sacrifice for what it was and still is.. Jesus Came He Died For Us And Lives With God In Heaven til he hears his fathers 🎺 sounding off and he will save a spot for those only who reserved a spot for him..
Tracy is still gorgeous. I envy Ben's dimples. I had a Mom crush on Joanna. Kirk's character was the class clown I wished to be. It broke my heart when Alan left us. I still sting from his loss. R.I.P. Jason Seaver.
I thought the casting on the show was brilliant. Joanna has dimples, Jeremy has dimples and Kirk has dimples. She was very believeable as their mother. Tracey even resembles Joanna's daughter Ashley.
You have to feel for the original girl who got the chop though. Same thing with the original DJ on Roseanne, Sal Barone, who didn't make it past the pilot.
Let us not forget "Seventh heaven"s prequel; the legendary, star studded, fun for all ages and heights, 1978 tattoo 1984's "Fantasy Island." "Boss, Boss. The Fame, the Fame." Fun Fact! "Fantasy Island" was/is considered to be a "Reality Show", by many of it's viewers, whom, later, were responsible for "Seventh heaven." Said viewers were not, however, responsible for the 1990 Motion Picture "My Blue Heaven" (Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, Joan Cusack). A more wholesome Movie, i have not seen, in many a Blue Moon. You know what they say: "There is hope, in every Pothole." Wrong Movie, although "Mixed Nuts" (Steve Martin) is a wholesome, Holiday Movie Classic, available on VHS, Betamax and Different Video Delivery Devices something or another. Anyway, the saying, is "There is Wholesomeness, in every RickMoranisSteveMartinWilliamHickeyJoanCusack." Well, there is and, it reminds me of three more Holiday Classics....."Strange Brew" (Rick Moranis), "Christmas Vacation" (William Hickey, may he rest, in peace) and "It's A Very Muppet Christmas Movie" (Joan Cusack), the latter is an Adults only affair and it may or may not be "wholesome" depending on your point of view, as there is a "alternate Angles" option, in the "DVDD" Menu, or so i have been told. Maybe, i will find out, when i am old enough to do so, legally. (Rest, in Peace, also, Ricardo Mantalban and Herve Villechaize "Tattoo") At least the dearly departed will not be subjected to reading this crap, wholesome, as it may be. "whole" as in "full of". Shit, almost forget "Addams Family Values", which brings the number of wholesome TV Shows/ Movies, mentioned, within this comment, to Eight. Eight, is Enough. That makes an even Nine. One of these "wholesome" Shows/Movies, is not like the other. Beats the hell outta me, i'm just Typing nonsense whilst waiting for my Landlord to collect the rent and pull my Finger. Not just some of my finger. The whole thing. Twice, if She values our friendshit. Happy Holidays
Alan Thicke was such an amazing, genuinely funny actor. IMO opinion one of the all time greats. RIP As far as the show ending, generally when the kids on a show start to reach a adulthood or near adulthood there's not really all that much left to tell, especially when the name of the show is Growing Pains. They still had the one little girl and Leo's character, but it just wasn't the same, so I get why it ended. Still if I'd had it my way the show would have gone on indefinitely.
More than any other family sitcom I can think of, the actors here all truly looked like they could have been related. Not just in that “tv” way where it works fine but they don’t truly resemble each other when you look closely. You could pick almost any combination of two actors here and they look enough alike that they seem believable as relatives. As a group they looked very natural as a family.
Tracy Gold reminds me of Kelly Clarkson. Both have huge smiles! Glad to see she looks healthy and is winning her battle with eating disorder. She is an inspiration to all whom struggle with this disorder everyday. God Bless! Still love hearing that opening theme song, "show me that smile again!" A classic song for a classic long lost era of sitcom television! RIP Alan Thicke! We miss you dearly! 🙏 😁❤
just them mentioning the scene when the drunk driving incident occurs makes me tear up. Her reaction and acting in that scene was really remarkable. It hit us all hard.
I remember watching this show when I was little in 1990s in China. It is one of the two US shows on TV there. Jeremy is right. The show was huge in China. But I never heard anything about his cooking show. I hope it went well.
I wanted to point out that I think this show was so successful is because back in the 1980's more and more divorce was taking place and myself included was raised by a single adult and I think more and more homes became this way and to Growing Pains was a dream to have two parents and a normal upbringing. The attraction was the family bond that us kids during that time yearned for. Not that I didn't have love growing up but it was a way to see and feel the experience that I could not have.
Kinda sucks how the actress who played Chrissy is never in these interviews. Not sure if its her decision or people not caring about the character, but it would be nice to hear of her experiences also.
they said that she wasn't in the first season and at the time of the interview, they were promoting the first season of Growing Pains being released on DVD.
Roger Hendrix Honestly I always found her to be a little annoying. It's such a cliche for family sitcoms to decide to add a surprise baby. Family Ties did it, so did Step by Step. I actually think a lot of the time it's unnecessary. Also how in one season the kid will be in diapers then all of a sudden he or she is 5 years old.
What a great show. Great actors including a Canadian. Oh and a pretty girl. I had such a crush on Tracy and still do even though i am 3 years older than her. I laughed every episode. Jeremy was great. Lots of people think that Family Ties was better but i don't agree
Larry King has always had a problem with LISTENING to his guests. One instance here is when he harangues Jeremy about cooking Chinese food, asking if he uses a wok, etc. He was trying to tell Larry that he is showing Chinese people how to cook AMERICAN FOOD using WESTERN TECHNIQUES! Larry always did this shit, and it used to work my last nerve!
Dude you need to calm down and get over yourself. Larry listens more than 99% of hosts out there, but he also moves the show on. Excuse him for running a show. Do you have any clips to shows you have run bro? This actually seems like a solid interview to me with good transitions.
@@bherber You "need" to not tell other people what to do, please. Slavery was abol... was ...Kirk just said something. My Brain hirts all og a sippen aqdn i froget toad two pype. Pane, lissening....ohay bi'm otter, now. "Crcoduck: The Pillow" softened the blow. Thank, Crocoduck. Should have went with the "Wokokegocrocoducken" You cannot see it, hear it, taste it, touch it smell it, pull it's finger, but, it does exist, because somebody wrote it down, on a piece of Paper, a few years, ago, thus, it exists.
I have been on a Growing Pains trip lately. At the time, I didn't notice how beautiful Tracey and Joanna were (I was obsessed with Alyssa Milano at the time). They still look great (although this was 12 years ago)!
GunterJPN I felt like I wrote this. Exactly how I feel! Joanna is just so beautiful, her smile and laugh gives me such a good feeling. And Tracey has got this innocence of her that’s never left her. She’s beautiful in every way. At the time I too was obsessed with Alyssa. I mean who wasn’t right?
13:07 What Kirk said was really true. This was the first american drama for many Chinese that born since the 1970s. It introduced the America culture especially its family relationship to a huge number of Chinese
Alan mentioned coming off of "Thicker than Night" but I remember that airing after Growing Pains in the US. I am confused. Is he speaking of a prior version of the show or was it revived after Growing Pains?
Joanna and Al had magic chemistry on screen and off. I still say though that Boner and Mike made the show for me, I was a female girl growing up. I had no idea Alan wrote all those songs for major shows!!! Wow!!!!! RIP. Also if religion or spirituality helps you make you a better person, I do not have anything against that what so ever, but I do not like those folks shoving it down others throats.
I remember being like a ten year old girl and only watching the show for Mike......then Leo walked in the door. Could you imagine being as cute as Kirk Cameron was and just having Leo Dicaprio stand next to you.....
@@jedijones Yeah funny, seems as if they never had one storyline involving anyone that lived next to them, no one at all, kind of strange for a sitcom from the 80s.
they said that she wasn't in the first season and at the time of the interview, they were promoting the first season of Growing Pains being released on DVD.
This particular show was celebrating the release of the Season 1 DVD way before Chrissy came onto the show. Plus, as with most shows, the main cast is primarily remembered and Chrissy was a later addition to the cast at the tail end of the show.
I loved Alan Thicke and I know first hand although a really long road if his doctors knew what they were doing and they didn’t and I’m sure they killed him! My husband had a very severe aortic dissection which is what Alan had and they let his burst! My husbands EMT immediately knew sent his bp as low as they could and brought in their heart doctor who only does dissections all day long and I remember he came in ER at a run and said get him on ice now! It’s go time! He told me we are behind the eight ball but I’m very good and I know what I’m doing! I know Jesus and he knows me! It was a very long ordeal I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. My husband was on life support six months and Jesus healed him. He’s one of the less than ten percent that live.
Wasn’t born yet but enjoy the show. Mr. Cameron seems a bit off, I don’t think the cast likes him may be wrong though. Also Larry king is very annoying he keeps cutting them off and he was a bit rude to Mr. Cameron
The rest of the cast (and crew. And writers. And producers. And basically everyone involved) were a bit pissed off when he Found Jesus and became a massive diva.
Larry King telling Kirk Cameron that he is very religious. You can feel the tension in the room when Kirk Cameron started talking about heaven and hell.. it got pretty silent and uncomfortable in that interview. Larry King hates Cristian people. You can see it when Larry Interviewed Pastor John McArthur from Grace to You.
He wasn’t telling him, he was asking him. “You’re very religious, right?” There was tension but I don’t think it had anything to do with Larry King other than it’s his show and the topic came up, and it had to because there was no way to avoid it. These stories were already public knowledge. The tension mostly comes from the fact that things didn’t go well between Kirk and the rest of the cast when he got heavily into his belief system and brought it to the set and developed an attitude over the scripts and such, and he probably got more personal too. By his own admission he was a pain in the ass about it. You heard Joanna, she was being very gracious and tactful about a 17 year old thinking they’re always right. Sounds like Kirk was immature and got overzealous did a lot of lecturing to them and that could get annoying really fast. Then he alienated himself from them and didn’t invite any of them to his wedding and they were hurt. His wife was on the show as well so that was doubly weird. That’s where the tension was from, as it’s being discussed openly on live national television, but they do all seem to have worked through it mostly. Larry could be frustrating in his interviews sometimes the way he talks over people and sounds a bit cold but that’s with everyone about almost anything. There’s no real sign of him being specifically and blatantly disrespectful about Kirk’s beliefs here.
They were promoting the Growing Pains season 1 DVD which came out in 2006, and which Larry brings up at 06:56 in the video. Ashley doesn't show up until season 6 and the season 6 DVD wasn't even released until 2015. But for all the other interviews without her it's probably the producers who schedule the appearances to blame for not thinking of her. Or she may have been busy because outside of Leonardo, she's the most active in her career. I don't think it's the Growing Pains showrunners because remember, she was in both Growing Pains reunion movies, and the last one came out in 2004, just 2 years before this Larry King appearance.
The entire cast looked absolutely stunning, especially Tracey Gold. I miss this show a lot. Rest in peace, Alan Thicke.
I couldn’t imagine growing up without Growing Pains and Family Ties
Kirk seems pretty humble and genuine.
I think what I liked most about Growing Pains was how much in love that Jason and Maggie were even after 20 years of marriage. They were the perfect example of a successful married couple with kids.
delusional
@@hydraelectricblue You're delusional idiot!
Joanna is such a sweetheart and humble beautiful person and so close to her character.

wow joanna ages like a fine wine
She's always been stunning.
Well this was 13 years ago. What does she look like now?
she gets prettier and prettier
Kirk Cameron writes children's books now.. because he was at my grandsons school a few months ago promoting his new children book and my grandson and Kirk Cameron took a picture together and my son actually met him and now I've got the picture of them in my photo gallery...❤
Who else had a crush on Tracy Gold back in the day?
Had? Oh not past tense for me!

Alan’s responses are very intelligent, especially on why the show ended
SSOOO glad that Kirk corrected Larry King by saying that he was NOT "religious", but was a CHRISTIAN. BIG difference.
Lol, religious people always say that.
Christianity mysteriously changes into a religion when 'religious organisations' are offered tax breaks, though.
Then, from whom the hell did Kirk acquack acrock acquire the idea of there being a "god", i wonder. A Crocoduck, perhaps.
listen up people.. religion isnt a worthy ticket to ride.. and im here to confirm that God is real .. and i don't know why you can't see and feel and know what u feel is evil thoughts flooding u and clogging ur connection that run from ur brain to your heart and from your heart to your soul and your soul to your spirit this world is temporary and it will decay and die.. our souls live on after this life.. where we go is what matters and that is based off if we accept our Lord God Almighty in heaven The Creator of everything from here on earth to that which art in heaven. thank you God I Havent felt alone since i accepted your Son into my heart 💓.

I love the show so much,that I ordered the whole complete series on D.V.D.
About 24:40 when Tracy talks about Joanna seeing through her facade and helping her...
Good stuff. Too wholesome for this old man at this early hour.
I TRULY WISH I could let this cast how MUCH I Love them for what they accomplished, SOOO sad that Alan Thicke is gone😥
The definition of an 80’s sitcom...
Thank God Tracey Gold got the part.
You have to feel for the original girl who got the chop though. Same thing with the original DJ on Roseanne, Sal Barone, who didn't make it past the pilot.
Favourite tv sit com, growing pains, everwood, family ties, seventh heaven, very few family wholesome shows,
Thank last century for that.

Growing pains, one of the best shows ever
GROWING PAINS AND THE WHOLE CAST AND CREW ROCK IN my BOOK!!!!!!!!❤
great interview. But it would've been greater if Larry didn't keep talking over whoever was talking .
, it's because he was under the gun to get to where the people call in..
It’s what he does. I think he finds the right balance to keep things moving along.
just them mentioning the scene when the drunk driving incident occurs makes me tear up. Her reaction and acting in that scene was really remarkable. It hit us all hard.

Remember when Larry King was a huge thing? Makes me feel old.
I love how Kirk was basically Mike at that age when Growing Pains started.
Alan Thicke was Also On Fuller House
Wow, never feels like a job just fun
Amazing show, miss it
13:07 What Kirk said was really true. This was the first american drama for many Chinese that born since the 1970s. It introduced the America culture especially its family relationship to a huge number of Chinese
I am sure the cast feels as a second family
He also experienced growing pains in the end
SHOW me THAT SMILE 😊 AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Alan left too soon💔.
Isaiah 26:19 🙏
Love it
Alan mentioned coming off of "Thicker than Night" but I remember that airing after Growing Pains in the US. I am confused. Is he speaking of a prior version of the show or was it revived after Growing Pains?
Jeremy Miller says they're all on board for a reboot
Did they mention Leonardo or Chrissy. I guess that would be Luke or Chrissy?
Yes and then Larry changed the subject when Joanna was mid-sentence.
But where is Ashley Johnson????
I had a thing for Tracey Gold back then. only reason why I watched it!
Same here, she was really beautiful!😍
@10:47Way to Jeremy!! So happy and proud of you!!
If anyone had any balls, they'd ask about the Julie Costello storyline.
Miss all of you.. and Kirk Cameron ..as a Christian..but I love all of u…
Kid: I started that show when I was 8 years old.
Larry: Were you a child actor?
Smfh
lol, I think he meant previous to the role.
No English subtitles or closed captioned
Ben still looks the same
"Do you still get paid from it, Jeremy?" Larry King coming in with the important (inappropriate) hard hitting questions...
I think they need to do a new reunion movie about the death of Jason. RIP Alan Thicke
Robin Thicke can show up as Jason's long lost son from a secret affair.
@@jedijones Jason would never have cheated on Maggie unless it happened before they met. He had a woman like Maggie, he didn't need anyone else!

I had no idea Alan wrote all those songs for major shows!!! Wow!!!!! RIP. Also if religion or spirituality helps you make you a better person, I do not have anything against that what so ever, but I do not like those folks shoving it down others throats.
They really don't make a family show s like growing pains and family ties anymore
I remember being like a ten year old girl and only watching the show for Mike......then Leo walked in the door. Could you imagine being as cute as Kirk Cameron was and just having Leo Dicaprio stand next to you.....
RIP
Didn't expect to be hearing so much about Chinese food!
Larry King could've been like the annoying cranky old neighbor character on this Show
It's interesting how Growing Pains rarely if ever dealt with the family's neighbors.
He could of been the Ryan's family. Jerry Koosman and Tom Seaver would of been happy.
@@jedijones Yeah funny, seems as if they never had one storyline involving anyone that lived next to them, no one at all, kind of strange for a sitcom from the 80s.
Anybody else wondering where the little sister Chrissy is? It's like she never existed.
She wasn't there because it was to promote season 1, and she wasn't on the show until season 4.
Never understood why they had that character in the first place.
We should be on the air 6 o'clock lying as predicted.
This interview was before Kirk Cameron started writing children's books
Kerns is still smoking hot.
yep i first watched growing pain in chinese
I miss Larry King.
How come that girl played chrissy didn't come in for the reunion
they said that she wasn't in the first season and at the time of the interview, they were promoting the first season of Growing Pains being released on DVD.
Why do they always exclude youngest sister Chrissy in these cast family reunions?
This particular show was celebrating the release of the Season 1 DVD way before Chrissy came onto the show. Plus, as with most shows, the main cast is primarily remembered and Chrissy was a later addition to the cast at the tail end of the show.
Maybe because she was a terrible character, put there to spit out cliched cutesy lines with absolutely no distinction or identity as a character.
I thought they had a fourth kid?
They did. A girl
If I asked them anything, it would be how a character named Boner (whose real name was Dicky) made it past the censors.
Wonder if Kirk asked them to change it after he got Saved By The Blood Of Jesus (tm) and got told to fuck off.
@@helensearle1896 remember ho this was the 20th century people were more religious then unlike now.
Boner's name was "Richard Stabone"
Larry can't help but interrupt them. Lol
Parents got younger looking. They must have amazing surgeons.
Where's Leo? Is he too good for this?
considering he's a major movie star and none of them are.. yeah pretty much!
would have been hilarious if he walked in

My husband was on life support six months and Jesus healed him. He’s one of the less than ten percent that live.
There's a massacre happening in Syria right now.
Fleur Bandito Why don't you go ahead and wait for us there.
Wasn’t born yet but enjoy the show. Mr. Cameron seems a bit off, I don’t think the cast likes him may be wrong though.
Also Larry king is very annoying he keeps cutting them off and he was a bit rude to Mr. Cameron
The rest of the cast (and crew. And writers. And producers. And basically everyone involved) were a bit pissed off when he Found Jesus and became a massive diva.
They are all very close. Kirk apologized to the cast many years later during the reunion movie and they are all close now.
Joanna, I bet you anything your daughter Ashley is as pretty as you are.
Joanna was my Hs crush
The mom didn’t change a bit
Mr. Thicke sounds dirty😂
The cast was great, but Larry King always sounds like he's reading from a teleprompter.
Larry King telling Kirk Cameron that he is very religious. You can feel the tension in the room when Kirk Cameron started talking about heaven and hell.. it got pretty silent and uncomfortable in that interview. Larry King hates Cristian people. You can see it when Larry Interviewed Pastor John McArthur from Grace to You.
He wasn’t telling him, he was asking him. “You’re very religious, right?” There was tension but I don’t think it had anything to do with Larry King other than it’s his show and the topic came up, and it had to because there was no way to avoid it. These stories were already public knowledge. The tension mostly comes from the fact that things didn’t go well between Kirk and the rest of the cast when he got heavily into his belief system and brought it to the set and developed an attitude over the scripts and such, and he probably got more personal too. By his own admission he was a pain in the ass about it. You heard Joanna, she was being very gracious and tactful about a 17 year old thinking they’re always right. Sounds like Kirk was immature and got overzealous did a lot of lecturing to them and that could get annoying really fast.
Then he alienated himself from them and didn’t invite any of them to his wedding and they were hurt. His wife was on the show as well so that was doubly weird. That’s where the tension was from, as it’s being discussed openly on live national television, but they do all seem to have worked through it mostly.
Larry could be frustrating in his interviews sometimes the way he talks over people and sounds a bit cold but that’s with everyone about almost anything. There’s no real sign of him being specifically and blatantly disrespectful about Kirk’s beliefs here.
Once again in these interviews they forget Crissy Seaver played by Ashley Johnson. They must not like her or something.
They were promoting the Growing Pains season 1 DVD which came out in 2006, and which Larry brings up at 06:56 in the video. Ashley doesn't show up until season 6 and the season 6 DVD wasn't even released until 2015. But for all the other interviews without her it's probably the producers who schedule the appearances to blame for not thinking of her. Or she may have been busy because outside of Leonardo, she's the most active in her career.
I don't think it's the Growing Pains showrunners because remember, she was in both Growing Pains reunion movies, and the last one came out in 2004, just 2 years before this Larry King appearance.
Kirk not religious really?
