I don't know about you folks, but I HATE it with a passion when cable networks such as Nickelodeon edit the Hell out of reruns of shows like "Growing Pains" (along with syndicated stations) once the shows enter reruns.

Personally, I'd rather OWN the original episodes of "Growing Pains" complete, uncut, & unedited, as first shown on the ABC Television Network.

Thanks to the Internet (namely In2TV, Warner Bros.' late, great, free of charge Internet service provider), now I do.

Among the episodes yours truly downloaded free of charge thanks to In2TV are as follows: "Reason to Live," "How Could I Leave Her Behind," "Ben's First Kiss," and "Menage a Luke."

Not only are these the original network versions, but they also include original network bumpers before the closing credits--and although they have yet to be available on DVD, the episodes are of DVD quality.

That's pretty dang awesome, when did In2TV go offline? It sounds like it was a great site! As for those episodes not being on DVD, hopefully they'll get there someday!

And yes, I HATE when networks edit shows to squeeze more commercials! That being said, the network airing GP where I live seems to be airing the full versions of the episodes, in good quality too, but sometimes with plastered closing logos :(

Can't win them all, I guess.
