Warner's response:

This is great news for fans of this show. I am guessing that there will definetly be a Growing Pains DVD Release between now and probably the year 2006. It sounds good for this show as well as some others, it's about time WARNER, releasing some great stuff possibly in the future.

Howabout I'll Fly Away? That'll be a possible DVD release.

newlife · 03-30-2005, 10:33 PM

I can't believe stinkers like George Lopez and Family Matters and Drew carey among others are coming to DVD -but Growing Pains is only a potential, I have to shake my head and wonder what is the matter with these executives- or the people who will spend money to see some of these shows on DVD. Soe of these dogs are stilled aired on tv why not watch them for free.

Family Matters will "be considered" and Drew Carey is another "potential release." Those shows aren't for sure releases yet.

Thank your lucky stars that at least Growing Pains is listed as a "potential release." I think that Warner Bros. WILL release this title and I think we'll see it on the shelves in no time. It could be worse, it could've been under "no plans for release."

It is in 21st place on tvshowsondvd. so hopefully it will be released soon.

Harper49 · 05-25-2005, 04:17 PM

Well no month has been announced yet.

Classicshowsgurl15 · 07-06-2005, 05:05 PM

I also am a fan of Family Ties and want that to come out on dvd too. There was an article for Family Ties in Entertainment Weekly with Johnny Depp on the cover and I cut it out. I hope that Growing Pains and Family Ties get put out on dvd real soon.

dave insinga · 08-02-2005, 11:49 AM

i can't believe that GROWING PAINS isn't on dvd yet it certainly should be i don't really get what these big companies see as potential or non- potential dvd releases that show is much more realistic as a family show than say "THE BRADY BUNCH" thats already up to season 3 and anyone who has been alive for the last 30 years has more than likely seen ever episode oe that show. and does FULLHOUSE really need such a quick dvd release? its on 30 times a day.GROWING PAINS hasn't run in a while and i really think people would enjoy watching it again.

newlife · 08-08-2005, 09:04 PM

I know that Growing pains is coming to DVD - this year. I cannot tell you my source but they are reliable because they were the star of the show,and It has not been offically annouced yet, I was told when I introduced myself to this person last week and we had a nice chat. It is coming, remember you heard it here first.

ClassicTV4Ever · 08-24-2005, 12:34 AM

Sorry, but if it doesn't come from Pavanbadal or TVShowsOnDVD, I'm not believing it.

lis23 · 08-24-2005, 01:52 AM
