Synopsis:

Congratulations…you’re fired. 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?) 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? (No, it’s not what you might think.) These events 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. Jason works as a psychiatrist. You think maybe it’s time to add some family appointments to his calendar?

There were so many wonderful family sitcoms in the 80's, and Growing Pains was one of my favorites! It never seems to be on re-runs anymore (or at least not lately that I've noticed), so it's nice to see that the second season is finally on DVD. This show is both heartwarming and funny, and watching the show brought back a lot of memories. I love seeing the fashion and hairsytles of the time -- it gives me quite a chuckle. Mike, played by teen heartthrob Kirk Cameron, was definitely my favorite character, and stil is! He seems to steal many of the scenes, but the whole cast is great! I hope the other seasons become available on DVD soon!
