He was so dreamy. I had a HUGH crush on him.

Rest in heavenly peace Alan Thicke. The 80's and 90's were all that and awesome when it came to t.v. shows and cartoons. Growing Pains, Full House, Family Matters and so much more taught and brought family values and love. These shows were my sweet childhood and I loved watching shows like this with my mom and dad and big brother. These kind of shows bring you comfort and peace the opposite of the shows today. I wish I can go back to those simple times and just dwell in them forever.

I’m 42 and loved watching this show when I was a kid. Every time I heard this song, I remember a lot of happiness watching this with my sister and parents.

I have a theory about Leo's inclusion in the series. Remember that, at this time, he wasn't "King Of The World" or the megastar he is now. This was one of his first roles. I think they added him to the cast, to test the waters and see how popular he would be, and if there was another season, they would have him, and then ditch Kirk Cameron from the show, who had been causing trouble by imposing his religious beliefs on scripts, and badmouthing the show by saying how "UnChristian" it was. I believe Leo was brought in as a replacement, so that the females fans would be drawn to him instead, and then they had no reason to keep Kirk Cameron on the show, and write him off. But they didn't get another season, so firing Kirk Cameron never happened.

I was born in 1979. This was one of my most favorite 3 shows. I have already love the theme song, it never gets old. The song always gave me a fuzzy wuzzy pleasant feeling before. I haven't seen the show in any form of syndication for awhile. For some reason, I thought about the show and the song today. Instead of giving me that fuzzy wuzzy feeling, that I was used to.... I felt a VERY sad, regretful feeling. Like its depressing to think the show and song are 30yrs old. Feels like yesterday. And how I realize how much of my childhood that I took for granted because I was do busy planning all the stuff I wanted to do once I became an adult. Now at 29, i regretfully wish I can be 8 again and appreciate that time more. But now its kinda too late to do so.
