I found these while digging through the TV Tattle archives:
"Growing Pains" — sans Leonardo DiCaprio — reunites

The ABC reunion is "a chance to check in with one of the last TV families that real-life families could sit down and watch together, laugh with together and not have to worry about being embarrassed by the content of the show," says critic Scott Pierce. "In a way, 'Growing Pains' (1985-92) has become like 'The Brady Bunch' — a show that plays perpetually in reruns and makes new fans of younger generations."

• The reunion is "inoffensive and mildly amusing. To expect more would be ludicrous," says critic Rob Owen
• Alan Thicke: "We're huge in Shanghai"
• Was there conflict between Kirk Cameron and the rest of the Seaver clan?
