The Show is called Kirk Cameron

I don't really think there was a problem with Kirk becoming a religious person...I actually thought it was better for the show. It was in the later years when Kirk decided he didn't want to play a slacker anymore Thinking back, it actually made sense, because Mike was getting older, and he couldn't be immature forever. He had to grow up sometime.

And I liked your point about no Titanic, LOL. Without Leo coming to Growing Pains, he might not have even been discovered by hollywood.

I think it would have went on for an 8th Season

noveel · 03-06-2007, 07:54 PM

They moved it to Saturdays in the 7th season to kill the show, that's where networks sent old shows to die

I think if Kirk had not "been saved" his role on GP and the show itself would have changed. As Mike transformed from a cute kid to a handsom man, the producers were trying to move him into more provocative sexual situations. He had the well known dispute with producers over a scene where he was supposed to be waking up in bed with a girl and asks her what her name was. He refused the scene and set a standards line with the producers.

yea, i'm sure we would have encountered an episode wher emike lost his virginity and then waking up in bed with a girl would have been a very common thing... i'm sure mike's character would have been the "party college kid" that i find to be pretty typcial on my campus... but yea, things for mike sure would have been different!

The results would had been the same but in a different form. When that happened Growing Pains was beginning to play out. The show was slipping each season after 4th season. The show ran its course. Unfortunately whole thing with Kirk becoming a Christian and Tracey Gold's battle with anorexia at the same time impacted the show.

Mr. Television · 03-11-2007, 10:12 PM

I agree. The show would have run it's course after 7 or 8 seasons anyhow. No show can go on forever. The only bad thing about what happened on the show as far as I'm concerned is they wrote Julie off who I liked better than Kate. But After they aged Chrissy it was all down hill from there.

When did Kirk actually become a religious fanatic? That was such a downer for me, because I will always have him embedded in my head as Mike Seaver the slacker! It's very surprising that Kirk would have taken that path. I tried to watch his, "Way of the Master" series on TBN or whatever it's on and I just can't get through one sitting. In personality, this was too large of a transformation for me to handle.
