this TV shows was introduced to China around 1995, and it is absolutely beloved by my generation. We saw what a typical american family look like, the culture, the different way of educating kids. Everything was interesting to us. I watched it over and over again during the summer holidays until i move to Canada. Good to see them to sit together again. Just love this "family". I was quite sad when the show ended.....
Roseanne is more like a typical family. Roseanne worked in manufacturing and Dan did construction. The family struggled to pay the bills. I say welcome to America : )
Sam Taylor = delusional perverted hater Awww, you're all butthurt because a famous person called you out for your evil perverse lifestyle. Cameron isn't destroying your pathetic life, YOU are.
Huh? You left out that one is a delusional bigot that not only believes ancient superstitions, but also uses his "fame" to push them on the rest of us, and under the threat of eternal torture at that. Yeah, you kinda overlooked that one a little bit.
pbot27 YOU are the delusional bigot and you're just butthurt over one famous person's public expressions of faith that contradict your wicked behavior.
Sateen Dubois Wicked how? Delusional how? You sound just like Kirk. Demonstrate the truth of your claims or run along and play with the other children.
Watching the show all these years later, it's still funny! It still works! Like many of you, I was fortunate to watch the show when it was originally airing. RIP Alan and Andy!
Betty Dockens You took the words right out of my mouth! I thought that exact same thing. It's the liberal media's way of discrediting and demeaning something that one holds so dear. Ironically, I don't see the media demeaning Buddhism, Muslims, or any of THOSE beliefs; only Christianity. 🙍
Margui622 Finally someone who sees religion as man made. Something people don't seem to understand is a lot of the time who are religious is that when your a Christian you just simply believe and trust in God. You don't have to ask for forgiveness because he took care of that when he died on the cross.
I love Kirk Cameron! ❤️❤️❤️ His movie's Left Behind, Fireproof, Mercy Rule... So good! 👌👍💞 I just love him and his Love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ❤️❤️
Kirk's cast members have had many issues with him dating back to the final season of the show when he became very religious, distanced himself from his cast members, refused to talk to them, stay in contact with them. Gold even refused to invite him to her wedding as he refused to invite any of the cast to his wedding. They were pretty outspoken against him following this interview, following his anti-gay comments and other crazy things he said. Cameron is such a horrible, hate filled person. He only cares about himself unless you share 100% the same views as he does. If not, well then clearly you are a sinner and will burn in hell. "Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's father on the family friendly sitcom Growing Pains, tweeted in response to Cameron calling homosexuality "unnatural" and "destructive" on Piers Morgan Tonight, writing "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything." That tweet followed a softer comment on Sunday night, in which Thicke tweeted, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's." "Tracy Gold, who played Cameron's Growing Pains sister, tweeted a rebuke of his comments on Sunday night, writing, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE" www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/alan-thicke-tweets-kirk-cameron-anti-gay-comments-growing-pains-296868 people.com/tv/kirk-camerons-feud-with-growing-pains-costar-tracey-gold-over-marriage-equality/ "Though Thicke claims he mailed a wedding invitation to his TV son, Gold makes no apologies for leaving Cameron off her 1994 invite list. "If I'd invited him, he probably wouldn't have come," says Gold, 31. "At the end, Kirk had drifted away from the show. When he got married during a summer hiatus up in New York, none of us were invited. He had pretty much made it clear he needed his separation from us." In the final seasons of "Growing Pains," Cameron found both God (though he rejects the label "born again") and a wife in on-screen love interest Chelsea Noble, who appears in the reunion as Mike's now-wife Kate. "I definitely kind of made an about-face, going toward another aspect of my life," admits Cameron. "I shifted my focus from 100% on the show, to 100% on [my new life], and left 0% on the show--and even the friendships that were a part of that show. If I could go back, I think I could make decisions that were less inadvertently hurtful to the cast--like talking and explaining to them why I just wanted to have my family at my wedding." Following the series' cancellation, Cameron made no attempt to maintain contact with his former co-stars. It had been eight years since he'd even spoken to Gold. " www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-fta-growing-pains-movie-20161213-story.html
Is this supposed to make one think LESS of him? If so, then it didn't work. I don't believe that he actually rejected the label of "born again", though. I'm sure that this was a misunderstanding.
NO KIRK HAS TURNED AWAY FROM YAHOSHUA'S DOCTRINE AND MADE UP HIS OWN BELIEF THAT SOOOO VERY MANY ARE FOLLOWING KIRK NOT THE ONLY LORD AND SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD YAHOSHUA WHOSE NAME I ABOVE ALL OF SATAN'S EVERY RELIGION, AS THE ELOHIM RE NOT A RELIGION AS THEY ARE NOT A RELIGION. IF HE DOES NOT TURNED ACK AND ASKS TO BE FORGIVEN AND FULLY REPENTS--CHANGES THE OLD WAYS OF HIS LIFE E WILL BE JOINING ALAN THICKE.
so your saying he is allowed to believe what he wants but he isnt allowed to talk about it?! but you are of course allowed to talk about what you believe. people are so ignorant sometimes
When people go through traumatic experiences and feel very alone, what could be more comforting than believing that there is someone you can talk to that always listens and loves you and cares? I am an atheist but I understand that fundamental religion is a balm. I have no problem with the religious until they use their beliefs to hurt others. I don't believe that they want to hurt people but you have to keep the baby AND the bathwater if you take a bronze aged book literally.
Cameron's fellow cast members are way too kind. His decision to reject scripts that portrayed Mike Seaver as the character he had already played for 5 years, and that fans loved put the entire show in jeopardy. He selfishly decided that he was too good to play an average teenager, and could only from then on play Kirk Cameron.
Sexuality is a life choice? Either this indicates that everyone is born neutral and chooses their sexuality at some point or perhaps everyone is born bisexual and chooses to be straight or gay at some point and a few choose to remain bisexual. Does either of those seem at all likely?
Of course they don't. Even seemingly nice and "good" people have no interest in actual biblical truth because they are blind to it and can't understand it unless the Lord reveals it to them. It's what separates The One True Gospel from defiled and pointless religion. It has to be revealed by Him to the one upon whom He bestows His mercy. However, it also true that if anyone seeks they will find, but you have keep seeking and let Him decide when He is ready to reveal Himself to you. So many "good" people will read this and criticize this because do not even understand that they don't understand.
+jediprettyboy your that guy that would have worshipped Apollo and Zeus centuries ago. That's how deranged the human mind can be when it comes to religion.
+WontB Quiet TY. They did the same thing with Candace Cameron on The View. The camera rarely pans on her and when she tries to talk they cut her off or shoot down her viewpoint.
+LauraBeth Scibetta They treated Candace pretty well, actually. She and Nicole Wallace were certainly the Republican stand-ins, but they both got a really good reception in comparison with their predecessor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies ideologically disagree with Candace, sure, but they treated her very well in comparison with Hasselbeck. That's mostly because Cameron is being sincere and Hasselbeck was serving as a propaganda machine, but that's beside the point.
Alan Thicke: "..what better choice could you make than to choose a religious, spiritual life?" I would suggest that an interest in reason and skeptical inquiry might be a better choice.
Point taken. By the way, if your father-in-law is an alcoholic, you should intervene, not take a "nothing more we can do" attitude and sit back until he dies. Google "alcohol intervention" and remove his poison. Alcoholism is technically a disease but it isn't cancer. Get him into AA.
To be fair, you shouldn't troll on the net. The net is already full of lies and drama queens. But as someone who has first hand experience on how to deal with a person depressed I can assure you all you can do is give them your love. My father in law is an alcoholic, there is nothing we can do anymore other than enjoy the time he has left on the earth.
When a man can stand true to God's Word, the Lord is very pleased. Praise God for Kirk's uncompromising faith to what the word says. It's so funny how the world gets angry at Christians for agreeing with Christ Jesus & what He said. I mean.. seriously people.. that IS why Jesus died on the cross... for our sins! If we can't come clean with our sins, and agree with God.. well, take it up with God... STOP having a low-tolerance for the Christians who happen to agree with God's truth of the Bible!
Of course, Leonardo got popular when going towards progressive hollywood. Kirk stood his ground and doesn't care about being Famous at all, that takes courage. All he'll be remembered for is his character, Mike Seaver and his faith in Jesus. That's it.
I love the manipulative editing in showing certain cast members nodding their heads to diferent parts of the interview than what is being said to make it look like they are agreeing.....they only fool the fools
People give Kirk a hard time. Maybe they would rather he be strung out on drugs, have been through several marriages, etc. Then maybe they would think he is cool.
half of this country is religious while more than 90% claim to believe in God or a higher power, so what is the big freakin deal about this one guy? even if you don't agree with what he preaches, at least look at the fact that he's a very happy person who has a very positive life and tries to spread positivity to others.
Kirk Cameron's latest bigoted and hateful remarks on "The Piers Morgan Show" about gays finally went so far over the line that at least two of the other cast members in the show "Growing Pains" felt obliged to speak up. Tracey Gold's comment made what she thought on the subject very clear: "I'm a strong supporter of the #LGBT community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE." She, also, posted a photo of herself with "NO H8" emblazoned on her cheek.
He said it was "unnatural" and "detrimental and destructive" to society. None of that is false. It is NOT natural. Stick the male end of an electrical cord to another male end and see what happens. Nothing. Same as with humans. Two males cannot make a child. Two females cannot make a child. Because...it's NOT NATURAL. Not having children DECREASES population - ding ding ding - which is "detrimental and destructive" to society. So...what Kirk said is true. Just goes against what you THINK is true. But...FACTS don't care about your OPINION. No matter how hard you stomp your feet.
It's weird how they refer to Kirk as "having found religion" as if he's in some strange underground cult. He's a Christian! This country was founded on Christian morals, why is it so taboo just to say "Kirk's a Christian." There's nothing weird about that. Good for him. He's a good man and follows his heart.
Everyone calling Kirk Cameron names is only calling him names because he is a Christian. If he had not been a Christian, no one would be saying anything about him.
That's because he only became a notoriously insufferable dick after he found religion. Not a great ringing endorsement for Christianity - quite the opposite.
Considering she was only in like 48 of the 176 episodes I dont think she was a regular like the 5 main cast members that were in all 176 episodes (Except for Tracy Gold, she she wasnt in one episode so she was in 166). And she also didnt originally play the first Chrissy Seaver. The first one was played by two twins and only did 15 episodes each. Oh yeah, Ashley is one of my favorites on Blindspot.
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and at what point did this turn into a gay, atheist, agnostic, liberal lets bash on Kirk Cameron Thread, Jesus Christ, hey if the guy doesn't approve of gays fine. at least hes not dead from an overdose like river phoenix, or is a drug or sex addict live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face. It bothers me to no end how the gays talk about their "rights" being gay does not mean you get special rights under the law, we all have individual rights under the constitution. it seems to me that this " gay rights agenda is just a thinly veiled attempt at getting gay people the status of a "race".
But his opinion on not approving homosexuality makes him a bigoted, homophobic, spaghetti-monster loving idiot. Just because he didn't "turn Hollywood" at 17 and went religious instead? He STILL became a hypnotized, herded sheep.
You are ill informed. "... live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face." - thats exactly what kirk and his friend ray comfort do. The thing about rights is not that they are arguing for different rights, just the same ones afforded to everyone else. If you cannot get that you may need to think on it a bit more.
The only "agenda" gay people have is what they're going to have for breakfast in the morning or what show to watch on TV after work. Gay people just want to be able to live their lives like everyone else. Being gay isn't a choice. People are born gay. No one would ever choose to be bullied, tortured, ostracized, disowned by family, refused service at a business or restaurant, evicted from their homes, fired from their jobs or even murdered simply for being who they are!!
Ransik Christians are not homophobes, That's about as ridiculous as saying gays are hetrophobes. We believe in God and His Word, it takes faith to believe in God and Christians have that faith. If you don't believe that's your decision, but don't bash someone who does
I think that's a "Canadian" thing; Canadians tend to be more mellow and low-key and polite compared to their cousins to the south. And Alan Thicke was 100% Canadian. I mean, the dude dropped dead in the middle of playing hockey...if that ain't "peak Canadian," I dunno what is. Maybe dying while playing hockey and enjoying a nice, cold bottle of Labatt's at the same time, you can't get much more Canadian than that.
All religious zealots seem very on edge and judgmental to me. God bless you, Kirk. I hope you can find it in your heart to accept people like me as human beings who deserve the same rights as you. I'm just living my life, trying to be a good person. I don't want to disrupt your life, just please don't disrupt mine. Thanks!
@Loreen Baksh So when Kirk Cameron calls a percentage of the population unnatural and immoral, you cite his freedom of speech. But when people criticize him for what he said, you tell those people to leave him alone. Don't the criticizers have freedom of speech as well? Why don't you tell Kirk Cameron to be nice and leave the gays alone? Do you not see your hypocrisy?
Yes, he's a Christian of the disapproving, prudish, abstemious type, isn't he? Perhaps there's a backlash from some who assessed Kirk Cameron on his 'pretty boy' looks and consequently attributed certain characteristics based on that. He's certainly entitled to his views. I don't know why Christian absolutists have a woody for homosexuality. Why such a bee in the bonnet. Anyway, I'm in Australia and I sure enjoyed watching Growing Pains on tv about 1987-8.
Madam Fragger At what percentage do I get to start whining? If I advocate that you should be murdered slowly, then you shouldn't complain about it, right? After all, you're just 1 person out of 6 billion. An even smaller minority than gays. You seem to think that a majority oppressing a minority is okay. Do you not see your lack of morals? Do you not realize that it's people like you pushing people away from god by showing the true colors of christians?
Ashley Johnson aka Chrissy is missing. I guess possibly since the show featured her birth they didn't consider her to be one of the original characters or for Ashley Johnson to be one of the original cast members, but I think she should still be included in the reunion.
Mike Seaver was a trouble-making teen who often disobeyed his parents. When Kirk found Jeebus, he suddenly had a problem with the character. He’d say “we can’t have Mike do THIS, we can’t have Mike say THAT to his father, etc.” And the cast and crew naturally resented that. He was hired to play a role, not push religious beliefs. And as Thicke suggests, if you think the saccharine and benign GROWING PAINS sends an “evil” message, you’re in for a huge surprise on other TV and movie sets. Thankfully, I think Kirk is tamer now than when he first got religion, more measured in what he says; I like the gentle touch on Thicke’s shoulder with “No, I so appreciate what you’re saying; I want you to keep talking.”
Kirk can believe whatever he wants to believe. I support his RIGHT to do so.
9 років тому+14
Erich Hoefert I support his right to do that, but I don't support his shoving his beliefs down other people's throats (and this is coming from a Christian).
Nobody is shoving anything down your throat! DON'T WATCH HIM! Presto- problem solved. But he ABSOLUTELY has the right to believe how he chooses to and to share his beliefs with those who are like-minded or who are interested. Just like you have the right to be a simple-minded, uneducated, hateful tool bag
@just because you say you are a ''Christian'' doesn't mean you are one. And by your comment I am guessing you have no idea what it means to follow Jesus Christ
True Christianity is NOT a "religion". It is a personal relationship with the Living God, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the work He did on the cross at Mt. Calvary over 2,000 years ago.
Christianity is a set of beliefs. Scientology is a set of beliefs. Naziism is a set of beliefs. Whether or not they revolve about a guy with a beard in the sky is of no consequence. If you subscribe to that set of beliefs THEN you subscribe to that set of beliefs. Also there has been found to be some evidence for sexual orientation being defined by genetics. What would you say it the reason for it then? And the reason for it in other animals?
I am not a hugely religious person, however you have to give Kirk huge credit. There were FAR worse things he could have been doing at 17 yrs old in Hollywood than going to church. He and his wife seem to be as solid as ever, and they have raised 6 children, several of them adopted and from different ethnic backgrounds. Good for him👍🏼
@Ac711 NO KIRK TURNED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM ALL OF YAHOSHUA TEACHINGS AS YAHOSHUA IS "THE WORD" GOD THE SECOND PERSON OF THE ELOHIM THE ONE THAT SPEAKS GOD THE FIRST PERSONS EVERY WILL--WANT. "THE WORD" WAS SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY AS WAS BE MADE FLESH AND IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED OF FOR THE JEWS AND ALL GENTILES. KIRK HAS MADE UP HIS OWN FALSE TEACHINGS AND HAS TURNED SOOOO MANY PEOPLE FROM YAHOSHUA'S TEACHINGS AND HAS THEM FOLLOWING--BELIEVING IN KIRK'S OWN CREATED NEW FALSE TEACHING THAT HE HAS IMPLEMENTED BITS AND PART OF OTHER PAGAN BELIEFS TO ONE BELIEF. CHRISTIAN'S ARE NOT 'RELIGIOUS' AS EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHSOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT THE ELOHIM' ARE NOT A RELIGION. A PERSON WHO COMPLETELY FOLLOWS DISCIPLE OF THE ONLY SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD IS NOT A RELIGIOUS A AS WE ARE NOT OF ANY OF SATAN'S RELIGIONS AS OF 1 EXAMPLE BEING THE RELIGION CATHOLICISM IS SATAN'S THEY NONE OF THEM ARE A CHILD OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
The Jupiter 2 bigots? Why is he a bigot? You do realize that he is the father of several adopted children who came from non-caucasian backgrounds, right? Bigoted against what exactly?
There are no 'FORMER HOMOSEXUALS' just as there are no 'FORMER BACON-LOVERS' they still love Bacon, but they've managed to push it far back in their mind and hide it deep they just repress the urge to go eat a bacon sandwich. But deep down they still want that salty goodness.
Say what you will about Kirk, but I must say that I have total respect for him. Yeah, I'm a Christian, and I don't agree with everything he says or does, but then again, nobody agrees with everybody all the time. I do honestly think he's a good person with a good, kind heart and good intentions. I think he catches a lot of flack from people because he's not afraid of speaking his mind and expressing his beliefs, which are good things. As a fellow Christian, we need more people like him in the world. Maybe things wouldn't be in the state they are in right now with all the wars and people killing others if we had more people like him. I know I will probably be mocked and made fun of for this post, but I don't care. I've had too many things happen in my life for me to not believe there is a God. I know some will question how I can believe in something I can't see, but I will leave you with this thought: You can't see air, but you know it's there because you're breathing. Same for
+Robyn Wellman When Boner was having trouble and killed himself, I lost respect for Kirk. He had an opportunity to give God so much glory by going on a hunt for Boner. I know it was only a show and the friendship wasn't as close as the show, but then I have to ask what about the whole church culture..how fake or real is all that.. I watch that episode and it breaks my heart thinking about how ready he was to go that night. He must have felt so alone and anguished to take his life.
***** Well, 1st off it's God, not god..God is Jehova, god is baal or buddah or any other false idol...so When God says no, you just accept it as the answer. 2Cor1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."..so what he has promised us..it's a done deal..what we ask of or from him, it's up to Him to decide. He knows what's best for us, not us.
I never said I was tollerant, but there's a difference between what you believe (catholicism, scientology, naziism) and what you are (Black, Gay, Ginger)
I follow Ashley Johnson (who played Chrissy Seaver) on Twitter. I started going through all the follows one time and found that all the cast follows each other and many guests that were on the show, including Julie Mccullough........ they all follow each other, except for Kirk that is. He follows none of them and they don't follow him. Its just kind of weird to (despite the chumminess they act here) just cut out that large part of your life. I mean Ashley was just a kid on the show and wasn't on for nearly as long as the others, yet still keeps in touch with them all.
Fair enough. I guess I meant more that they seemed to try to be appearing more chummy than they actually are.Tried to hide the fact that he is so much not a part of the rest, but hiding it poorly. Though it also wouldn't be polite to talk openly or point at him.
They are all trying to keep things professional and also come to a friendly understanding at the same time. I believe that they are friendly to him and he is friendly to them back, but Kirk's views don't mesh well with the others, so it's best to keep a certain distance from him. Doesn't mean they hate him, but sometimes it's best to keep some people at a distance in order to maintain a certain level of friendliness towards them.
They all keep in touch. Alan said that Kirk would Skype him sometimes. He and Tracey talk on the phone. They recently were on Kathie Lee and Hoda playing a game with his sister Candace and Jodie Sweetin. He was one of the first to tweet about Alan's death and wished Joanna good wishes during her cancer struggle. Just because he doesn't follow them on Twitter doesn't mean they don't keep in touch. They were all at Alan's funeral as well.
Besides, it was "Growing Pains" a family sitcom, what was the worst thing they were going to have him do? And its not like they were going to portray that thing in a positive light. When you see an actor play a murderer on criminal minds, or a rapist on csi or a pedophile on law & order. We know its an actor portraying a character. If no one was willing to do anything immoral on tv, we'd have no tv but infommercials. Those actors understand: its a part, a job, it doesnt change who they are
I wish I was the Christian that Kirk was. All you atheist Christian bashers stop. YOu think you know everything. I keep up with the scientific theories about how life started and for me science can not explain it. Why is it so hard to believe in a supernatural world. Don't make science your religion. What about the idea that humans have evolved to believe in God. If evolution is existl it would not give rats ass whether outcome of evolution resulted in scientific or religious people.
@@leslieroldan4207 YOU MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO DID NOT KNOW OF THAT. HOW COULD THAT BE OF YOU HAVING TO NEVER KNOW THAT? ARE YOU ALSO ANOTHER WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT OBAMA WAS NOT BORN ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IS FULLY MUSLIM BELIEF AND HAS ORDERED THE KILLINGS OF SOOOOOO MANY IN OUR MILITARY??? THE ONLY LAW THAT HAS NEVER EVER BEEN BROKEN BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GOD FORMED, SHAPED AND BUILT WITH ALL BELIEF OF THE POWER OF EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Okay, I didn't read all of the statements, so sorry if this has already been brought up, but where in the Hell does Growing Pains get the title of first family of the 80s? I'm pretty sure that that the Huxtables rocked that one.
The Cosby show was good for the first season, but then it got to sweet-see-cutie-see. And knowing what I know now, I will never watch Bill Cosby again.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" is a ridiculous teaching and contrary to other teachings of Jesus. eg. Matt 10:11 has Jesus ordering his followers to go out and judge who's worthy. You say that all religious extremism is dangerous...yet you have no problems with religious moderation --- cherry picking what you like from a religion and ignoring/lying about what you don't like? Sadly, if moderates were sincere about their religion, they would not be moderates.
wait a minute, wo hold up, before we even get into it, the Seavers are first family of the 80's? No. If you are going to name a TV "first family of the '80's" it would be the Huxtables. Okay proceed.
Actheman1978 No it doesn't matter, because the shows aren't on the air anymore. Why would ABC care so much about promoting a show that's not earning them any money?
Because they are not going to give free advertising and dvd sales to an NBC or CBS show. Think about it. That's like Calvin Klein talking up an old Polo line. This 80's show thing was probably just a way to see if reunion specials could net them some more ad revenue.
I do NOT like how people say "he found religion" when talking about them giving their lives to the Lord. It apparently is very unpopular and uncomfortable to just flat out say "he accepted the Lord and decided to walk in the truth"...I saw how Candace Cameron was shut up on The View and how the camera rarely went on her. It's just so typical.
+LauraBeth Scibetta there are plenty of other sites on the internet explaining about the meaning of the word religion but I will just say that when I was Catholic I was religious. I am not Catholic and have renounced it. I have a spiritual relationship with my Lord. I am not bound to Him. I choose to follow His ways and no, it's not the same as religion.
+LauraBeth Scibetta " heaccepted the lord and decided to walk in truth." thats one opinion, another could br "he annoyed castmates that believed differently then him, as well as threatened cast and crew members, who chose not to believe in a god, with losing their jobs. the guy is a major league creep.
this TV shows was introduced to China around 1995, and it is absolutely beloved by my generation. We saw what a typical american family look like, the culture, the different way of educating kids. Everything was interesting to us. I watched it over and over again during the summer holidays until i move to Canada. Good to see them to sit together again. Just love this "family". I was quite sad when the show ended.....
typical white family not typical American family.
Not really a typical real life family but a typical family sitcom family.

Why do you keep saying finding religion? He found faith!
Yes, Religious is a man -made stuff. Not faith. I'm glad Kirk found faith.
Betty Dockens You took the words right out of my mouth! I thought that exact same thing. It's the liberal media's way of discrediting and demeaning something that one holds so dear. Ironically, I don't see the media demeaning Buddhism, Muslims, or any of THOSE beliefs; only Christianity. 🙍

Me too
Me too! 😉
Kirk, keep shinning your light for Christ!! NO MATTER what ANYbody says!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I saw those movies and damnnn they're mediocre at best.
I loved this show when I was growing up.
Kirk's cast members have had many issues with him dating back to the final season of the show when he became very religious, distanced himself from his cast members, refused to talk to them, stay in contact with them. Gold even refused to invite him to her wedding as he refused to invite any of the cast to his wedding. They were pretty outspoken against him following this interview, following his anti-gay comments and other crazy things he said. Cameron is such a horrible, hate filled person. He only cares about himself unless you share 100% the same views as he does. If not, well then clearly you are a sinner and will burn in hell.
"Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's father on the family friendly sitcom Growing Pains, tweeted in response to Cameron calling homosexuality "unnatural" and "destructive" on Piers Morgan Tonight, writing "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything." That tweet followed a softer comment on Sunday night, in which Thicke tweeted, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's."
"Tracy Gold, who played Cameron's Growing Pains sister, tweeted a rebuke of his comments on Sunday night, writing, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE"

"Though Thicke claims he mailed a wedding invitation to his TV son, Gold makes no apologies for leaving Cameron off her 1994 invite list. "If I'd invited him, he probably wouldn't have come," says Gold, 31. "At the end, Kirk had drifted away from the show. When he got married during a summer hiatus up in New York, none of us were invited. He had pretty much made it clear he needed his separation from us." In the final seasons of "Growing Pains," Cameron found both God (though he rejects the label "born again") and a wife in on-screen love interest Chelsea Noble, who appears in the reunion as Mike's now-wife Kate. "I definitely kind of made an about-face, going toward another aspect of my life," admits Cameron. "I shifted my focus from 100% on the show, to 100% on [my new life], and left 0% on the show--and even the friendships that were a part of that show. If I could go back, I think I could make decisions that were less inadvertently hurtful to the cast--like talking and explaining to them why I just wanted to have my family at my wedding." Following the series' cancellation, Cameron made no attempt to maintain contact with his former co-stars. It had been eight years since he'd even spoken to Gold. "

Is this supposed to make one think LESS of him? If so, then it didn't work.
I don't believe that he actually rejected the label of "born again", though. I'm sure that this was a misunderstanding.
Get a life.
Why the little sister chrissy is never interviewed with them?
GOD LOVES U ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥

The Truth It’s sad your name is the truth yet you say these false things
so your saying he is allowed to believe what he wants but he isnt allowed to talk about it?! but you are of course allowed to talk about what you believe. people are so ignorant sometimes
Kirk Cameron is a great guy. I have nothing but respect for him.
I'm really glad Kirk is a Christian. Even if I can't meet him in person now, I'll meet him in heaven someday
YAY!! part 2! thanks! :D
Man... I love them too!! ❤❤❤
When people go through traumatic experiences and feel very alone, what could be more comforting than believing that there is someone you can talk to that always listens and loves you and cares? I am an atheist but I understand that fundamental religion is a balm. I have no problem with the religious until they use their beliefs to hurt others. I don't believe that they want to hurt people but you have to keep the baby AND the bathwater if you take a bronze aged book literally.
Cameron's fellow cast members are way too kind. His decision to reject scripts that portrayed Mike Seaver as the character he had already played for 5 years, and that fans loved put the entire show in jeopardy. He selfishly decided that he was too good to play an average teenager, and could only from then on play Kirk Cameron.
Larry Lee Moniz no, he did what was best for him
Why do people hate christians and Kirk Cameron he. Is a good guy and our faith is something that helps people and asks questions for all of us
No, he's not. He's an asshole.
Sexuality is a life choice?
Either this indicates that everyone is born neutral and chooses their sexuality at some point or perhaps everyone is born bisexual and chooses to be straight or gay at some point and a few choose to remain bisexual.
Does either of those seem at all likely?
They just kill his testimony with interruptions.. doesn't sound like they want to hear it from him.
Of course they don't. Even seemingly nice and "good" people have no interest in actual biblical truth because they are blind to it and can't understand it unless the Lord reveals it to them. It's what separates The One True Gospel from defiled and pointless religion. It has to be revealed by Him to the one upon whom He bestows His mercy. However, it also true that if anyone seeks they will find, but you have keep seeking and let Him decide when He is ready to reveal Himself to you. So many "good" people will read this and criticize this because do not even understand that they don't understand.
+WontB Quiet No they don't want to hear that mindless bronze age dribble
+jediprettyboy your that guy that would have worshipped Apollo and Zeus centuries ago. That's how deranged the human mind can be when it comes to religion.
+WontB Quiet TY. They did the same thing with Candace Cameron on The View. The camera rarely pans on her and when she tries to talk they cut her off or shoot down her viewpoint.
+LauraBeth Scibetta They treated Candace pretty well, actually. She and Nicole Wallace were certainly the Republican stand-ins, but they both got a really good reception in comparison with their predecessor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies ideologically disagree with Candace, sure, but they treated her very well in comparison with Hasselbeck.
That's mostly because Cameron is being sincere and Hasselbeck was serving as a propaganda machine, but that's beside the point.
I still love that show
"there was a shift (in Kirk)" thats cause God changed him
The intolerance of Kirk Cameron by some on here is sickening. Very sickening.
He's a false teacher, teaching the Rapture heresy, associating with false evangelicals.
They don't need to function as a serum albumin. They can function as pretty much anything. As long as the cell finds it useful then it is used.
Alan Thicke: "..what better choice could you make than to choose a religious, spiritual life?"
I would suggest that an interest in reason and skeptical inquiry might be a better choice.
While I don’t disagree with Kirk’s finding religion, I agree with how the late Mr. Thicke put it.
I can't believe there are so many people who just hate someone they totally don't know.
You mean homophobes, right?
Kirk turned into a weirdo..he looks creepy...
And not paying taxes.
Great show...miss it
Point taken. By the way, if your father-in-law is an alcoholic, you should intervene, not take a "nothing more we can do" attitude and sit back until he dies. Google "alcohol intervention" and remove his poison. Alcoholism is technically a disease but it isn't cancer. Get him into AA.
I think Kirk Cameron is very inspiring person. and I think Leonardo DiCaprio is too. And I got into this show for Leo and now I just love the family.
Look I may not necessarily like him but people of this nature are harmless.
The anti science agenda he's advancing doesn't seem harmless.
You misspelled "harmful"
They are the opposite of harmless. The sick ideas that he spews are toxic to a civilized society.
Um, he votes. Not harmless
It was a really good show
To be fair, you shouldn't troll on the net. The net is already full of lies and drama queens. But as someone who has first hand experience on how to deal with a person depressed I can assure you all you can do is give them your love. My father in law is an alcoholic, there is nothing we can do anymore other than enjoy the time he has left on the earth.
great story and great ending!!!!!!!!!
The gospel offends.
Being a wanker offends too.
The truth often offends. Jesus was a rebel. God loves you.
@MsFullheart
Thanks, I appreciate that.
When a man can stand true to God's Word, the Lord is very pleased. Praise God for Kirk's uncompromising faith to what the word says. It's so funny how the world gets angry at Christians for agreeing with Christ Jesus & what He said. I mean.. seriously people.. that IS why Jesus died on the cross... for our sins! If we can't come clean with our sins, and agree with God.. well, take it up with God... STOP having a low-tolerance for the Christians who happen to agree with God's truth of the Bible!
Kirk gives Christianity a bad name.
*****
yeh, all thanks to religion. Religion pollutes that which is pure, all by evil design.
Christianity gives Christianity a bad name.
AleqsH YOU GIVE MEN, A BAD NAME, U LIBTARD, KIRK IS THE MAN, A TRUE MAN OF CHRIST, DO SOME RESEARCH CHUMP!
no he does not. He is right on...mirror...mirror
Not A Doctor WRONG KIRK IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF STANDING ON TRUTH
Tracey got her beautiful body back. She looks fantastic!!
I wonder if any of them knew that it was going to be Leonardo Decaprio who was going to be a huge star and not Kirk...
Of course, Leonardo got popular when going towards progressive hollywood. Kirk stood his ground and doesn't care about being Famous at all, that takes courage. All he'll be remembered for is his character, Mike Seaver and his faith in Jesus. That's it.
were are the comments?
HE FOUND CHRIST JESUS, HE WAS SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. JOHN 3:16
LOL. Fairy tale.
@@ElectoneGuy your a sicko and I feel for you, because you will go to hell if you don't accept JESUS CHRIST our SAVIOR !!!

Electone_Guy let’s try it like this...
I will pray for you. God bless.
I love the manipulative editing in showing certain cast members nodding their heads to diferent parts of the interview than what is being said to make it look like they are agreeing.....they only fool the fools
People give Kirk a hard time. Maybe they would rather he be strung out on drugs, have been through several marriages, etc. Then maybe they would think he is cool.
+zotta1 I make my own soy.
I don't think anyone will ever think Kirk Cameron is cool.
Kirks choice for God is powerful
You spelt 'pitiful' wrong.
A worthless p.o.s.! His holier-than-thou attitude turned me off from the show.
Yes..cults are powerful!
half of this country is religious while more than 90% claim to believe in God or a higher power, so what is the big freakin deal about this one guy? even if you don't agree with what he preaches, at least look at the fact that he's a very happy person who has a very positive life and tries to spread positivity to others.
He spreads lies.
Kirk Cameron's latest bigoted and hateful remarks on "The Piers Morgan Show" about gays finally went so far over the line that at least two of the other cast members in the show "Growing Pains" felt obliged to speak up.
Tracey Gold's comment made what she thought on the subject very clear:
"I'm a strong supporter of the #LGBT community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE."
She, also, posted a photo of herself with "NO H8" emblazoned on her cheek.
He said it was "unnatural" and "detrimental and destructive" to society. None of that is false. It is NOT natural. Stick the male end of an electrical cord to another male end and see what happens. Nothing. Same as with humans. Two males cannot make a child. Two females cannot make a child. Because...it's NOT NATURAL. Not having children DECREASES population - ding ding ding - which is "detrimental and destructive" to society. So...what Kirk said is true. Just goes against what you THINK is true. But...FACTS don't care about your OPINION. No matter how hard you stomp your feet.
It's weird how they refer to Kirk as "having found religion" as if he's in some strange underground cult. He's a Christian! This country was founded on Christian morals, why is it so taboo just to say "Kirk's a Christian." There's nothing weird about that. Good for him. He's a good man and follows his heart.
Fireproof was great movie he should be proud to have his soulmate looks and well grounded
you know that was a movie STARRING Kirk Cameron, ya know..... 🙄
yep great movie!
Everyone calling Kirk Cameron names is only calling him names because he is a Christian. If he had not been a Christian, no one would be saying anything about him.
That's because he only became a notoriously insufferable dick after he found religion. Not a great ringing endorsement for Christianity - quite the opposite.
Jason Gates Kirk is called names because he's a religious wacko. Not because he's religious.
There are plenty of religious people I really admire. Kirk Cameron is a moron.
Nah... it's because he's a douchey self-righteous idiot who thinks he's really smart.
Who in the cast wasn't?
I miss this show!
Me too! I miss that show and other shows like that. Netflix series are lost on me.
I thank God for a wonderful show like, Growing Pains.
Where was Ashley Johnson (aka- Chrissy Seaver) for this reunion. She, too, was a part of the family for a season or more.
Considering she was only in like 48 of the 176 episodes I dont think she was a regular like the 5 main cast members that were in all 176 episodes (Except for Tracy Gold, she she wasnt in one episode so she was in 166). And she also didnt originally play the first Chrissy Seaver. The first one was played by two twins and only did 15 episodes each. Oh yeah, Ashley is one of my favorites on Blindspot.
And Leo?!
Chrissy was born during the series, and magically became a six year old in the last season.
@@pringle584 I think it was just supposed to be the actors who played the Seavers, but Ashley Johnson should have been included.
Jack Kircher Ashley Johnson co-starred with Jaimie Alexander on the NBC series, “Blindspot.”
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and at what point did this turn into a gay, atheist, agnostic, liberal lets bash on Kirk Cameron Thread, Jesus Christ, hey if the guy doesn't approve of gays fine. at least hes not dead from an overdose like river phoenix, or is a drug or sex addict live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face.
It bothers me to no end how the gays talk about their "rights" being gay does not mean you get special rights under the law, we all have individual rights under the constitution. it seems to me that this " gay rights agenda is just a thinly veiled attempt at getting gay people the status of a "race".
Well said, You are so right!!!
But his opinion on not approving homosexuality makes him a bigoted, homophobic, spaghetti-monster loving idiot. Just because he didn't "turn Hollywood" at 17 and went religious instead? He STILL became a hypnotized, herded sheep.
You are ill informed.
"... live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face." - thats exactly what kirk and his friend ray comfort do.
The thing about rights is not that they are arguing for different rights, just the same ones afforded to everyone else. If you cannot get that you may need to think on it a bit more.
The only "agenda" gay people have is what they're going to have for breakfast in the morning or what show to watch on TV after work. Gay people just want to be able to live their lives like everyone else. Being gay isn't a choice. People are born gay. No one would ever choose to be bullied, tortured, ostracized, disowned by family, refused service at a business or restaurant, evicted from their homes, fired from their jobs or even murdered simply for being who they are!!
Ransik Christians are not homophobes, That's about as ridiculous as saying gays are hetrophobes. We believe in God and His Word, it takes faith to believe in God and Christians have that faith. If you don't believe that's your decision, but don't bash someone who does
Alan Thicke has such tact, RIP.
He ruined an already crap show.
I think that's a "Canadian" thing; Canadians tend to be more mellow and low-key and polite compared to their cousins to the south. And Alan Thicke was 100% Canadian.
I mean, the dude dropped dead in the middle of playing hockey...if that ain't "peak Canadian," I dunno what is. Maybe dying while playing hockey and enjoying a nice, cold bottle of Labatt's at the same time, you can't get much more Canadian than that.
The best wholesome show ever made.. This show will keep you grounded
Kirk Cameron is the one "Hollywood" guy that actually stands up for what he believes in!!
All religious zealots seem very on edge and judgmental to me.
God bless you, Kirk. I hope you can find it in your heart to accept people like me as human beings who deserve the same rights as you. I'm just living my life, trying to be a good person. I don't want to disrupt your life, just please don't disrupt mine. Thanks!
Kirk chose Christ, never the popular choice, but the only one if you want eternal life.
@Loreen Baksh
So when Kirk Cameron calls a percentage of the population unnatural and immoral, you cite his freedom of speech.
But when people criticize him for what he said, you tell those people to leave him alone.
Don't the criticizers have freedom of speech as well? Why don't you tell Kirk Cameron to be nice and leave the gays alone?
Do you not see your hypocrisy?
Yes, he's a Christian of the disapproving, prudish, abstemious type, isn't he? Perhaps there's a backlash from some who assessed Kirk Cameron on his 'pretty boy' looks and consequently attributed certain characteristics based on that. He's certainly entitled to his views. I don't know why Christian absolutists have a woody for homosexuality. Why such a bee in the bonnet. Anyway, I'm in Australia and I sure enjoyed watching Growing Pains on tv about 1987-8.
weskitten
I don't see how your reply is relevant to the original comment.
It's a small percentage, quit your whining.
Madam Fragger
At what percentage do I get to start whining?
If I advocate that you should be murdered slowly, then you shouldn't complain about it, right? After all, you're just 1 person out of 6 billion. An even smaller minority than gays.
You seem to think that a majority oppressing a minority is okay. Do you not see your lack of morals? Do you not realize that it's people like you pushing people away from god by showing the true colors of christians?
sleazybtd
sexual orientation is WAY off from murdering and taking someone's life.. please try a different argument.
Ashley Johnson aka Chrissy is missing. I guess possibly since the show featured her birth they didn't consider her to be one of the original characters or for Ashley Johnson to be one of the original cast members, but I think she should still be included in the reunion.
I really like Kirk and Candace
their careers reveal great
things about them :)
Like how it's hard for a child actor to find work after a sitcom.
Like how they think they're superior to the rest of us mere mortals?
Monique Thornton Huh?
Mike Seaver was a trouble-making teen who often disobeyed his parents. When Kirk found Jeebus, he suddenly had a problem with the character. He’d say “we can’t have Mike do THIS, we can’t have Mike say THAT to his father, etc.” And the cast and crew naturally resented that. He was hired to play a role, not push religious beliefs. And as Thicke suggests, if you think the saccharine and benign GROWING PAINS sends an “evil” message, you’re in for a huge surprise on other TV and movie sets. Thankfully, I think Kirk is tamer now than when he first got religion, more measured in what he says; I like the gentle touch on Thicke’s shoulder with “No, I so appreciate what you’re saying; I want you to keep talking.”
You think that calling an entire group of people "Unnatural" isn't hate speech?
Kirk can believe whatever he wants to believe. I support his RIGHT to do so.
Erich Hoefert I support his right to do that, but I don't support his shoving his beliefs down other people's throats (and this is coming from a Christian).
Do you support my right to believe that he's a pillock, as well? I do hope so.
lurch321 he’s not shoving he’s expressing
Nobody is shoving anything down your throat! DON'T WATCH HIM! Presto- problem solved. But he ABSOLUTELY has the right to believe how he chooses to and to share his beliefs with those who are like-minded or who are interested. Just like you have the right to be a simple-minded, uneducated, hateful tool bag
@just because you say you are a ''Christian'' doesn't mean you are one. And by your comment I am guessing you have no idea what it means to follow Jesus Christ
True Christianity is NOT a "religion". It is a personal relationship with the Living God, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the work He did on the cross at Mt. Calvary over 2,000 years ago.
I really enjoyed this interview the cast is so down to earth !
Christianity is a set of beliefs. Scientology is a set of beliefs. Naziism is a set of beliefs. Whether or not they revolve about a guy with a beard in the sky is of no consequence. If you subscribe to that set of beliefs THEN you subscribe to that set of beliefs. Also there has been found to be some evidence for sexual orientation being defined by genetics. What would you say it the reason for it then? And the reason for it in other animals?
I am not a hugely religious person, however you have to give Kirk huge credit. There were FAR worse things he could have been doing at 17 yrs old in Hollywood than going to church. He and his wife seem to be as solid as ever, and they have raised 6 children, several of them adopted and from different ethnic backgrounds. Good for him👍🏼
@Ac711 NO KIRK TURNED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM ALL OF YAHOSHUA TEACHINGS AS YAHOSHUA IS "THE WORD" GOD THE SECOND PERSON OF THE ELOHIM THE ONE THAT SPEAKS GOD THE FIRST PERSONS EVERY WILL--WANT. "THE WORD" WAS SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY AS WAS BE MADE FLESH AND IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED OF FOR THE JEWS AND ALL GENTILES. KIRK HAS MADE UP HIS OWN FALSE TEACHINGS AND HAS TURNED SOOOO MANY PEOPLE FROM YAHOSHUA'S TEACHINGS AND HAS THEM FOLLOWING--BELIEVING IN KIRK'S OWN CREATED NEW FALSE TEACHING THAT HE HAS IMPLEMENTED BITS AND PART OF OTHER PAGAN BELIEFS TO ONE BELIEF. CHRISTIAN'S ARE NOT 'RELIGIOUS' AS EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHSOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT THE ELOHIM' ARE NOT A RELIGION. A PERSON WHO COMPLETELY FOLLOWS DISCIPLE OF THE ONLY SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD IS NOT A RELIGIOUS A AS WE ARE NOT OF ANY OF SATAN'S RELIGIONS AS OF 1 EXAMPLE BEING THE RELIGION CATHOLICISM IS SATAN'S THEY NONE OF THEM ARE A CHILD OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
nope, no respect for religious bigots.
Eliana Miller that was so full of double speak and jibberish that I am not even going to try to decipher it.
The Jupiter 2 bigots? Why is he a bigot? You do realize that he is the father of several adopted children who came from non-caucasian backgrounds, right? Bigoted against what exactly?
NO respect for hateful religious bigots.
There are no 'FORMER HOMOSEXUALS' just as there are no 'FORMER BACON-LOVERS' they still love Bacon, but they've managed to push it far back in their mind and hide it deep they just repress the urge to go eat a bacon sandwich. But deep down they still want that salty goodness.
Kirk Cameron made life difficult on the set of “Growing Pains” because he took his religion too far
Say what you will about Kirk, but I must say that I have total respect for him. Yeah, I'm a Christian, and I don't agree with everything he says or does, but then again, nobody agrees with everybody all the time. I do honestly think he's a good person with a good, kind heart and good intentions. I think he catches a lot of flack from people because he's not afraid of speaking his mind and expressing his beliefs, which are good things. As a fellow Christian, we need more people like him in the world. Maybe things wouldn't be in the state they are in right now with all the wars and people killing others if we had more people like him. I know I will probably be mocked and made fun of for this post, but I don't care. I've had too many things happen in my life for me to not believe there is a God. I know some will question how I can believe in something I can't see, but I will leave you with this thought: You can't see air, but you know it's there because you're breathing. Same for
me with God. I can't see Him, but I know He's there.
+Robyn Wellman When Boner was having trouble and killed himself, I lost respect for Kirk. He had an opportunity to give God so much glory by going on a hunt for Boner. I know it was only a show and the friendship wasn't as close as the show, but then I have to ask what about the whole church culture..how fake or real is all that.. I watch that episode and it breaks my heart thinking about how ready he was to go that night. He must have felt so alone and anguished to take his life.
+Robyn Wellman I know He is real because we talk constantly and He answers
***** Well, 1st off it's God, not god..God is Jehova, god is baal or buddah or any other false idol...so When God says no, you just accept it as the answer. 2Cor1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."..so what he has promised us..it's a done deal..what we ask of or from him, it's up to Him to decide. He knows what's best for us, not us.
huh? Who is Jay Lacky and why am I being called that?
I never said I was tollerant, but there's a difference between what you believe (catholicism, scientology, naziism) and what you are (Black, Gay, Ginger)
I follow Ashley Johnson (who played Chrissy Seaver) on Twitter. I started going through all the follows one time and found that all the cast follows each other and many guests that were on the show, including Julie Mccullough........ they all follow each other, except for Kirk that is. He follows none of them and they don't follow him. Its just kind of weird to (despite the chumminess they act here) just cut out that large part of your life. I mean Ashley was just a kid on the show and wasn't on for nearly as long as the others, yet still keeps in touch with them all.
+Logan B I honestly did not see "chumminess" here at all between Kirk and the others. I see that he feels very much NOT a part of the rest of them.
Fair enough. I guess I meant more that they seemed to try to be appearing more chummy than they actually are.Tried to hide the fact that he is so much not a part of the rest, but hiding it poorly. Though it also wouldn't be polite to talk openly or point at him.
They are all trying to keep things professional and also come to a friendly understanding at the same time. I believe that they are friendly to him and he is friendly to them back, but Kirk's views don't mesh well with the others, so it's best to keep a certain distance from him. Doesn't mean they hate him, but sometimes it's best to keep some people at a distance in order to maintain a certain level of friendliness towards them.
They all keep in touch. Alan said that Kirk would Skype him sometimes. He and Tracey talk on the phone. They recently were on Kathie Lee and Hoda playing a game with his sister Candace and Jodie Sweetin. He was one of the first to tweet about Alan's death and wished Joanna good wishes during her cancer struggle. Just because he doesn't follow them on Twitter doesn't mean they don't keep in touch. They were all at Alan's funeral as well.
Way to go, Kirk!
Secular Progressive Liberal Humanist how very kind and opened minded of you. Remember to be nice to people.
Besides, it was "Growing Pains" a family sitcom, what was the worst thing they were going to have him do? And its not like they were going to portray that thing in a positive light. When you see an actor play a murderer on criminal minds, or a rapist on csi or a pedophile on law & order. We know its an actor portraying a character. If no one was willing to do anything immoral on tv, we'd have no tv but infommercials. Those actors understand: its a part, a job, it doesnt change who they are
I wish I was the Christian that Kirk was. All you atheist Christian bashers stop. YOu think you know everything. I keep up with the scientific theories about how life started and for me science can not explain it. Why is it so hard to believe in a supernatural world. Don't make science your religion. What about the idea that humans have evolved to believe in God. If evolution is existl it would not give rats ass whether outcome of evolution resulted in scientific or religious people.
1:36 WOW.. she just rudely cuts him off as he's answering..
It looked more like they edited his answer and shortened it a bit for time.
WontB Quiet I didn’t realized it! But it’s true! The media doesn’t like Jesus! Their lose but our prayers!🙏🏻
@Steve Yochim Well Alan Thicke has FOUND OUT WHEN THE DEMONS CAME TO TAKE HIS SPIRIT INTO HELL. CRYING OUT TO THE LORD IS NEVER GOING TO GET HIM OUT.
@Steve Yochim OHHH AND KIRK CAMERON HAVE TURNED WAY FROM YAHOSHUA'S DOCTRINE AS HE HAS MADE UP HIS OWN BELIEF AND MANY ARE FOLLOWING HIM NOW.
@@leslieroldan4207 YOU MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO DID NOT KNOW OF THAT. HOW COULD THAT BE OF YOU HAVING TO NEVER KNOW THAT?

Kirks way or no way…. Narcissist.
my fav show grew up
he didnt find religion, he found a new career, Jesus is money.
Kirk Cameron! You're my idol! Not just for your awesome acting, but you strong faith in the Christian religion!
"strong faith" versus "blind insanity". Tomato, toma(h)to.
@@dzerresMy faith in God is based on evidence. It us scientifically and logically impossible that nothing created everything.
The first 80s family were the keatons from family ties
Kirk Cameron has such drive and focus. Too bad he can't apply that to a good cause like curing some disease or helping people.
Um. He is helping people
The only "suffering" is in the imagination of people who believe in religious concepts such as hell.
Okay, I didn't read all of the statements, so sorry if this has already been brought up, but where in the Hell does Growing Pains get the title of first family of the 80s? I'm pretty sure that that the Huxtables rocked that one.
The Cosby show was good for the first season, but then it got to sweet-see-cutie-see.
And knowing what I know now, I will never watch Bill Cosby again.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" is a ridiculous teaching and contrary to other teachings of Jesus. eg. Matt 10:11 has Jesus ordering his followers to go out and judge who's worthy.
You say that all religious extremism is dangerous...yet you have no problems with religious moderation --- cherry picking what you like from a religion and ignoring/lying about what you don't like?
Sadly, if moderates were sincere about their religion, they would not be moderates.
TheHigherVoltage Are You A Jew
He was already losing it during the series. He had a co-star fired because she posed in Playboy.
'Losing it'? Did he ever have it?
Two costarring roles in movies, he sorta had it, but the Tom Cruise comparison was a stretch.
Kirk went crazy.
wait a minute, wo hold up, before we even get into it, the Seavers are first family of the 80's? No. If you are going to name a TV "first family of the '80's" it would be the Huxtables. Okay proceed.
They were for ABC. Huxtable's were NBC.
And that matters how?
Bos La Moss Because this is "Good Morning America", an ABC program. Yes, it's totally biased.

No it doesn't matter, because the shows aren't on the air anymore. Why would ABC care so much about promoting a show that's not earning them any money?
Because they are not going to give free advertising and dvd sales to an NBC or CBS show. Think about it. That's like Calvin Klein talking up an old Polo line. This 80's show thing was probably just a way to see if reunion specials could net them some more ad revenue.

I do NOT like how people say "he found religion" when talking about them giving their lives to the Lord. It apparently is very unpopular and uncomfortable to just flat out say "he accepted the Lord and decided to walk in the truth"...I saw how Candace Cameron was shut up on The View and how the camera rarely went on her. It's just so typical.
no. religion literally means "return to bondage" none of us following the Lord are bound. I HATE being called religious. It's an insult

+LauraBeth Scibetta there are plenty of other sites on the internet explaining about the meaning of the word religion but I will just say that when I was Catholic I was religious. I am not Catholic and have renounced it. I have a spiritual relationship with my Lord. I am not bound to Him. I choose to follow His ways and no, it's not the same as religion.
+LauraBeth Scibetta " heaccepted the lord and decided to walk in truth." thats one opinion, another could br "he annoyed castmates that believed differently then him, as well as threatened cast and crew members, who chose not to believe in a god, with losing their jobs. the guy is a major league creep.
+LauraBeth Scibetta oh my, Candace gets less time on camera then Whoopi, Jesus, tap dancin' K-rist, will the persecution never end!?!
