Alan was the greatest 80's tv dads to watch very often, and i'm not kidding. Rip Alan Thicke.

I like when Jason locks the door at the end. It's like one of the few ways he can still protect his family, knowing that his kids are growing up and he can't protect them forever.

That's a great observation. I also thought that it was the show's way of slipping in a symbolic commentary that this era was the beginning of the end of innocence. Man, if they only knew what was in store in 2022.

@@fantinuum1040 it was definitely that as well. He's realised the innocence his family once held, his world once held, has finally slipped away. His world has grown that much darker and the things that might take his family and himself from his family, are that much closer. All he can do now, is the arbitrary locking of the door to keep them out.

I remember this when it originally aired. I cried then, I cried now. Growing Pains had some really amazing topical episodes. They did those episodes so well. They didn't cram it down your throat. They made it human, with feelings and wonderful acting. (Today's date is February 14, 2015. Happy Valentine's Day!)

Brought tears....RIP U WILL BE MISSED😧

They don't make shows or sitcoms with episodes like these anymore. I miss shows like these today. Miss my 80's generation.

My Deepest condolences To Thick Family,Allen,was a great actor,well be missed!

I miss my childhood. All the shows were so much better than todays. 2021....ugh.....

At the end of this episode, Kirk Cameron gave a short talk, in which he expressed how he felt about drugs. I remember after this, my respect for Kirk Cameron grew. Sure, I was a fan of Growing Pains, and thought Mike Seaver was a likeable character. I began to see him as more than just another teen pin up boy.

In memory of Alan Thicke's passing, I wrote a fan fiction story in his memory from this scene. An extended version of this, plus making it from Jason's point of view.....

I remember being called all kinds of names because I would not do drugs. Them kind of people can go take a hike. I was always impressed on how Kirk Cameron stepped out of character to speak out on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Kirk and Candace Cameron were definitely raised right by mom and dad

What was really frightening about this episode, was when the girl told Mike how mad her parents would be if they found out she was having this party. And Mike understandably said: "I bet." And then she replied: "Well, it's their cocaine." Whatever Mike's faults were in the past, he really took an admirable stand in this episode. It's especially interesting if you watch the pilot episode and then watch this one.

I like This wonderful show and Merry Christmas too All of You and MAY GOD s Blessing s and Mercy be on YOU ALL Amen.

One of my favorite scenes from the show..very poignant..touching..

This is one of my favorite scenes of the entire series.

Loved watching this back in the day it was as close to real life situations ( family) as a television show could get the role playing off each other was terrific and as I’ve gotten older in life and watch all the old episodes I think wow they were all really spot on !!! The writers did a great job with the storyline for each episode also it was like watching an actual family living through life as it happened I learned a lot just by watching them growing up I mean it wasn’t like most shows out there where you can tell it’s acting and their just going through their scripts it was true acting that you could tell they gave so much to their characters you couldn’t tell it was script reading and it’s rare to find such wonderful talented people like them it’s heartbreaking that Alan thicke left this life far too soon he was such a great actor with wonderful talent

I was at a house party when I was 21 and people were snorting cocaine. I’m glad I resisted that day and other times where the opportunity presented.

This is my favorite episode!

Hello. I remember that this message was more popular in many 1980s tv shows than now

Shocked and sad.. RIP

Thank Alan Thicke for Growing Pains! R I P

Growing Pains is the greatest family sitcom and greatest show ever! It's funny and acting is great the pacing is great it has fun storylines and it has a fourth wall and Twilight zone episode called Meet the Seavers that's very creative and all well done my favorite part in the episode is when the set guy carries Ben over his shoulder.

Just finished listening to Robin Thicke's "That's what Love Can do" and stopped by to see pops Alan Thicke! Glad I did. Great Episode and Happy Ending. :)

loved it!

Dr. Seaver was a great father.

wtf66611 I think the commentary was less on the drug, and more on doing the right thing (not bowing to peer pressure).

I'm looking for a clip from another episode. I think it was from the 1988 season. In the episode, Mike and Boner had planned to go to the local pizza shop to gaze at a girl they both liked tossing pizza bases. Mike had a book report to finish. He was made to stay home and complete his homework. There was a sequence in which Mike has a personal stereo. He listens to the song, Could've Been, by Tiffany. Next, Mike imagines how the night would have been if I had gone out instead. Mike and Boner were looking through the pizza shop window at this girl. She dropped a pizza base. Mike and Boner went inside to help her clean it up. This made me laugh out loud when I first saw it.

Cool scene
