Yeah I saw it too! Cool! I hope they realease more 80's sitcoms/series such as Silver Spoons.

Yup! He was in the show. Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I just saw the Growing Pains reunion tonight on Larry King, they all still look pretty good. I always loved the show, looking forward to the release and the extras.

Where is season 2? It's like it was ages they released season 1. Some series release like 2 a year.

This seems to be a problem for a lot of shows, Riptide. Where's Season 2 of Who's the Boss? Malcolm in the Middle? Living Single? I think that a lot of times if the first season doesn't sell, the company's not too eager to release any other seasons. I'd like to have season 2, nonetheless...
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
That's exactly what happens. If the first one doesn't sell, they automatically assume the next seasons won't and choose not to release them..........
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Growing Pains doesn't sell? It was one of the bigger shows in the latter half of the 80's. Leo Dicaprio came in near the end...I just don't get it.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Well it probably did sell but not enough to garner releasing future seasons. I had a DVD distributor tell me that once when I asked about Who's The Boss Season 2. Shows like Miami Vice and Seinfeld sales were to the moon so that's why they were all released fairly close to each other.........
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Wow, now I'm thinking it's a miracle Square Pegs got released, it doesn't bode well for stuff like It's your move, Wizards and warriors, or Tales of the Gold monkey getting released. Mr. Bootleger still has my business I'm afraid. A bit surprised with Who's the Boss, I thought that was a big show. What's the deal with Webster? Is that out?
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
Has Riptide been released yet or have I been living in a cave for sometime now?
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Riptide has been out for a while (Not me, LOL). I'm pretty sure it's 2 or 3 seasons that are out right now.
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I'll go back to my cave now then lol.........

About two or three times this summer I caught GROWING PAINS by accident on TV...only to find it was a "Krissy Episode". God, those suck! I actuallyw atched one and it was The Absolute WORST GROWING PAINS ep I have ever seen: Krissy had an imaginery friend who was actually Kirk Cameron in a mouse costume!
Worst
Episode
EVER!
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Yeah, those Krissy episodes were always kinda "krappy."
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
I couldn't stand that little girl. Just her voice was so annoying. The show also went downhill with the addition of DiCaprio.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I think the episodes were good when Ben was young, Boner hadn't joined the army yet, and Mike was up always getting in trouble. Once the characters started to grow up and be responsible it seemed to go downhill. If I recall in the later episodes, didn't Mike have a kind of Cindy Crawford look-alike girlfriend?
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
Think they could get away with a character named "Boner" in this day and age?
I know....I'm immature. Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
Heck, that should be no problem with the Seth Rogan movies going on now. I think in the show he went byt the name Boner Svabone, no joke.
Posted by mamamiasweetpeaches (Member # 1715) on :
Was Mike's "Cindy Crawford girlfirend" Chelsea Noble, who he (Kirk Cameron) later married????
I really love the Mike, Boner and Eddie eps and I liked Carol and her boyfriend Bobby. One of my favorite epsiodes was when Brad Pitt (he was actually on the show TWICE - playing different charactors!) was The New Boy at school and Carol dumped Bobby to go out with him and later regretted it. That was something that made the show GOOD to me, that they made the kids friends likable charactors so you liked them and cared what happened to them as well. But - yeah- once the kids got older they should have called it quits.
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
I might have been Chelsea Noble, is he still married to her? It reminds me I have to pick up his autobio, I sw it the other day at the book store.
Those three guys were fun together, Mike did some hialrious stuff like writing test answers on his shows in one episode. I seem to remember faintly another episode where Brad Pitt was playing some kind of rock star? I also like it when Hall of Famer **** Butkus played Bobby's father, and they were butting heads about his future. Another good one was an unknown Matthew Perry as Carol's boyfriend. Wasn't there even a few Just the Ten of Us crossover episodes? There were a bunch of great cameos in this show and Married w/children, that's why I hope they at least release the Growing Pains seasons 1-4.
Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
I always liked Boner. I remember the ep where he joined the Army. When I was a kid I thought that was so sad! I loved Just the Ten of Us. I remember there were a few eps with Coach Lubbock and his clan. They had dinner in one ep...I wish Just the Ten of Us would be released on DVD. Oh well till then there's You Tube.

Kirk Cameron and wife Chelsea Noble also did the Left Behind movies together. They are very religious.

Crazy is good......sometimes.
Posted by ISIS (Member # 1780) on :
She did play his girlfriend on the show.
Here's the camp they founded...it seems pretty awesome, they both seem like really super nice people:
The prospect of a 2nd season dvd was brought up during a recent chat with Warner Bros. on another forum but unfortunately they didn't give any concrete info on when if at all they'd be releasing it.
