Growing Pains Second Season Hits the Streets
May 22nd 2011 21:13
I was excited to see the DVD release of Growing Pains: The Complete Second Season. It`s a very simple show from the 1980s that never let me down.
In the second season the kids are older and everyone is familiar with the program. Mike (Kirk Cameron) receives a car from his pleased parents after he`s named Employee of the Month. So how`s he going to tell them he`s been canned? Remember that episode?
Mike`s not the only one with secrets. Brainy Carol (Tracey Gold) wants everyone to think she has a romantic extracurricular life with a hunky football hero. And what`s up with 10-year-old Ben (Jeremy Miller) and those 67 calls to a sex line? How can such an innocent show have such filth? No, it`s not what you might think.
These stories don`t all happen at the same time, but they do all happen at the same place: the Season 2 home-sweet-ho-ho-home of the Seavers, dad Jason (Alan Thicke), mom Maggie (Joanna Kerns), three on-the-grow kids. It is such a happy family that it is hard to believe Jason works as a psychiatrist. Happy psychiatrists do not exist on planet Earth.
