'Show Me That Smile Again ...'
Nick at Nite Launches Hit Family Comedy
Growing Pains Beginning Monday, February 12
NEW YORK, Jan. 29 -- Nick at Nite will add the popular
family comedy Growing Pains to its sitcom line-up beginning Monday,
February 12 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT). The series, which ran for seven seasons,
was an immediate hit with viewers and launched the careers of teen
heartthrobs Kirk Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio. The half-hour series kicks
off with a week-long marathon of nothing but Growing Pains, every night
from Monday, February 12 through Sunday February 18 from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00
a.m. Growing Pains will air regularly Monday through Thursday with two
back-to-back episodes from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. The series will also air
Fridays and Saturdays at 10:30 p.m. and Sundays at 9:30 p.m. (*All times
(ET/PT).
"Kids grew up watching Growing Pains in primetime and now, we are
really excited for them to start enjoying it again with their own kids on
Nick At Nite," said Tom Ascheim, Executive Vice President, General Manager,
Nickelodeon Television. "The classic family comedy features a talented and
witty cast and is a favorite that everyone can watch together."
Growing Pains aired from 1985 to 1992 on ABC and revolves around The
Seaver family in Long Island, NY. Jason (Alan Thicke) is a psychiatrist
married to Maggie (Joanna Kerns), a former newspaper reporter, and the two
head up a family of three kids. Mike (Kirk Cameron) is a bit of a slacker
and is constantly up to shenanigans; Carol (Tracey Gold) is the brainy
middle child and Ben (Jeremy Miller) is the youngest Seaver who idolizes
his older brother, Mike. Maggie's desire to go back to work prompts Jason
to move his practice back home, allowing him to watch the kids. Most of the
stories revolve around standard family issues such as bad grades, dating
and missed curfews, though over time the series did address serious topics
like drunk driving, teen suicide and peer pressure. In 1988, Maggie gave
birth to a daughter, Chrissy (Ashley Johnson), and the family also took in
a homeless teenager -- Luke (a young Leonardo DiCaprio). As the series
progressed, Mike found himself taking on more responsibility as a teacher
and eventually fell in love, Carol began her studies at Columbia University
and Ben began to turn into another version of Mike. Much of the series'
success can be attributed to Kirk Cameron's status as a teen heartthrob,
gracing the covers of various magazines in the late 1980s.
