What is your all-time favorite episode of Growing Pains and why?

Gregory Wade · 07-19-2000, 06:08 PM

I like the episode from 1990, where Carol is doing her exercises and breaks through the floor and the family has to move into Mike's place while their house is being repaired and his waterbed springs a leak.

One of my fave episodes is the one where Mike and Ben spend a night out on the town in search of glue. Another was the one when they went to the dance and Mike had the date with the girl with funny voice. Another one of my favorites was the one when Carol didn't want to go to the college that her parents did, so Mike and Carol hired a bum to pose as her father during an interview. That was hilarious. I also kinda liked the one where all the characters became their real selves and Ben (or should I say Jeremy) was freaking out.

I liked the one where when Jason got his "Old Band" back together again. Mickey Dolenz! WOO HOO!!!

Either "Meet the Seavers" one, which I must have seen a hundred times and I LOVE it.. or the one when Ben makes that movie with alligators or something. (Can you tell I like Ben??

) I also love "There Must be a Pony"... Chrissy was sooooo cute in that one!

I like the episode where Ben? wrecks the vacuum his mom's testing. His friend soups it up and destroys part of the house. Another was when Jason was given too much medicine or alcohol? at the Dr.'s award banquet he was emceeing, and he sings "Mack the Knife".

My favorite epsiode of Growing Pains was the one when Luke's father was in town and Mike took Ben pretened to be Luke to see his father.

Hard to say "best" episide, but one of my favorites is when Ben goes house to house collecting money for the needy, but really keeps it. The one when Mike writes the answers to a test on his shoes is also a classic.

I'm not sure about the entire episode but my favorite scene of the entire show is where you see Jason trying to get Ben to do something and you're thinking its like taking out the garbage because he says "come on ben, now you know i dont ask you to do that much around here right?" and he gets up but its very reluctantly and finally you see them do that dance to that song Midnight Train to Georgia. It was just too cute only I dont remember what the actual episode is about. I just remember that right after that Jason gets interupted by the phone.

One that i really like was a christmas episode, where Ben invited a homeless girl to stay with them for Christmas Eve. She called herself 'Nancy Reagan'. A scene that was just hilarious when was Little Ben was running down the stairs, excited about Christmas day, then he looks at the tree with no presents and screams! the look on his face was hilarious. Later, 'Nancy' returned the presents she stole and called her parents.
It was a very touching episode.

Wow, you guys made a lot of really good choices I wouldn't have thought of right off the top.

Cuz my all timer is the "Magic Rock" episode. Not only funny, but a rare time a sitcom took the time to be surprising with unexpected twists and turns.

Krisalicious · 09-15-2001, 06:53 PM

My favorite is the one where Ben gets to meet his favorite rock star who turns out to be a big jerk.

My favorite episodes are when Chrissy is born. (cuz she's my fav) and the last episode.
