Awesome 80's show!, 18 May 2002
Author: meggy_m (meggy_m@hotmail.com) from Pennsylvania, USA

Growing Pains is one of the greatest family sitcoms to come from the 80's. There is a certain amount of cheesiness there, but that's what makes it so good! Not to mention Kirk Cameron and all of his hotness! Try to catch the reruns on Fox Family channel!
