Kids, Career, Laughs - All Under One Roof.
The doctor is in. Psychiatric doctor Dr. Jason Seaver moves his practice into his home so his wife Maggie can pursue a new career as a journalist...so Jason will be there for his children as they go through life's Growing Pains. Now you can be there, too, with this fun 4-Disc Set of Season One's 22 Episodes.
Alan Thicke portrays affable Jason, dispensing wit and wisdom to his enterprising spouse (Joanna Kerns), his somewhat slacker 15-year-old son Mike (Kirk Cameron, establishing himself as a teen heartthrob of the era), brainy teen daughter Carol (Tracey Gold) and nine-year-old Ben (Jeremy Miller). "If Father Knows Best had been revived in the 1980s, it would have been called Growing Pains" (Tim Brooks and Earle Marsh, The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946-Present.)
