When you're a kid its called "growing pains". When you're an adult it's called "getting old". Mintguy
Edited the information about the theme song for the final season. Verified with Jeff Thacher of Rockapella that they did not perform that version. Jude86 16:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
This article says that the 1989-90 season was retconned out of existence as a dream, but Kirk Cameron says that Cameron requested that the season be turned into a dream but his request wasn't granted. What's the truth? -- Metropolitan90 06:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree that Boner Stabone should be merged with the Growing Pains entry. The individual characters of the Seavers don't even have their own pages, and I don't think Boner is a strong enough minor character to merit its own entry. If anything, it should have a subcategory in Growing Pains but nothing more. -- Angleterre 19:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I absolutely agree that Boner Stabone should be merged with the Growing Pains entry. The only reason the name exists is because of Growing Pains. I mean would anyone know the guy's name if you just said "Boner" without explaining the guy from Growing Pains. No! Merge the two articles because they belong together. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.115.176.42 ( talk • contribs) .
Merging Boner Stabone into the Growing Pains article was a good idea, but removing most of the information about Boner was not. Somebody needs to add more information on Boner in the Growing Pains page. (I have only watched a very few episodes myself and would be a poor candidate for this) Comrade Sephiroth
ya, he was not a major character, so there is nothing to write back. after all, there were too many different kind of characters like him who appeared in the show. SummerThunder 20:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
i was watching last night one episode of Growing Pains and Alyssa Milano was Mike's partner in a fast food restaurant, Mike was working to get some money, and Alyssa Milano appeared young and with blonde hair. I think that episode is for the 1st or 2nd season. Sorry if my English is not perfect. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Roblahsen ( talk • contribs) .
I don't think the show got cancelled. From what I've seen years ago, the show did have a final episode and I've seen the cast hugging each other during the behind the scenes. King Shadeed 19:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
what u said is true. SummerThunder 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I am not so sure these are the full Broadcast versions now. I just saw the end of episode 17 "Charity Begins at Home" on tv and there was a scene at the end where the heart shaped ash tray that Ben made at school is sitting on a shelf and you hear Ben's voice say "Now no one will want me" (as if the ash tray itself is talking)...or something like that. I immediately got out the DVD and checked out the end of this episode, and there is no such scene. I really dislike studios leaving out bits and pieces on DVD releases! Does anyone know if the DVD is syndicated or broadcast versions of the episodes?
Does that mean breaking the fourth wall, because most articles would call it by that term. Should we change it then, as most people (including me) probably don't know what it means? 24.33.95.114 23:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
What does breaking the fourth wall mean? I understand self-satirising, is it the same thing, is breaking the fourth wall and industry term? What are the other walls? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.183.70.15 ( talk) 23:15, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I believe it just started airing on The N at midnight EST. WAVY 10 20:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
It says that he made a guest appearance in 1992, which would be near the end of season 7. I haven't watched that far yet - is this true or a misunderstanding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.81.147 ( talk) 01:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I could find nothing on IMDB or anywhere else that corroborates the fact that Philip Seymour Hoffman appeared on the show as "Cousin Lou". I have removed this from the entry. Spiraledout ( talk) 15:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
Other then the brief paragraph at the begining, this article skips right over the part where it should tell you what the show was about for seven years, and goes right on to all the misc stuff. If I was a person looking at this article and had never seen this show, I would leave still not knowing what the show was really about, what kind of direction it started off on and where it went, and why it was popular enough to be on the air for seven years. Deepintexas ( talk) 14:35, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Near the top, there is a reference to Leo's character "Luke Brower", with a reference #1. I checked reference #1 and it does not refer to either Leonardo or Luke. I watched this show as a child, and DiCaprio wasn't famous then, but I don't remember him on it, so (a) the reference to footnote 1 should be deleted, and (b) if there is a verification reference it should be added. I'm not an experienced wikipedia editor so I'd prefer if someone else followed up on this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.73.102 ( talk) 18:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio was on Growing Pains. He was in the final season, or close to it.-- Splashen ( talk) 03:24, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

This page is awful. It is full of original research. I am going to start by removing everything that does not have a source and also everything that seems to be original research. The section describing the opening credits is especially ridiculous, going on for a few paragraphs about house gags. What's worse is that house gags is in parenthesis. I'm scrapping that whole section,as it is original research.-- 98.87.89.147 ( talk) 20:49, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
The article states, "The biggest consequence of Cameron's conversion to Christianity was the firing of actress Julie McCullough who had landed the role of nanny Julie Costello in 1989." According to Kirk Cameron's autobiography, this is false. The writers never intended to make Julie McCullough a big part of the show. She was introduced as a short-term love interest for Mike. From the beginning, the plan was for them to break up after Mike's immaturity took its natural course. Cameron cited producers of the show who back up his version of events. 67.45.112.55 ( talk) 22:50, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

The article states, "Starting in the second season, several different versions of the opening sequence were filmed. Whoever was the last to go into the house would usually be the focus of that week's episode." I believe that in seasons 2 and 3, it was always Alan Thicke who went inside last, and that different characters entering last each time was only for seasons 4 and 5.
