Growing Pains: Growing Up Seaver 

In the late 1980’s, Americans gathered around their television to catch up with the Seaver family on the wholesome family sitcom,

Growing Pains. Dr. and Mrs. Seaver took care of their three children Mike, Carol, and Ben — and later a fourth, Chrissy — at their home on 15 Robin Hood Lane in Long Island, New York.

The family grew up on television for seven seasons from 1985 to 1992 and viewers nationwide watched as they dealt with all of life’s roadblocks that were thrown in along the way. Here is a look back at the beloved sitcom to make you feel like you and the Seavers still “got each other.” Read on to find out how the cast felt about working with a then-unknown Leonardo DiCaprio, how two cast members fell in love on set, and how the cast has paid tribute to Alan Thicke.
