Title
Growing Pains: No Where Near The End

Theme Song
Nowhere Near The End. (Containing: The Acapella Version of the GP Theme, BJ Thomas's Version of the Theme, and a special snipit of the Full House theme which I think fits what No where Near the end is all about!)

Writers Note
I've had the idea for this fan fict in my head for a very long time, and now I've finally decided to start it up and see what other fans of this great show think! These are my thoughts on what I think should have taken place in the Seaver Family, however keep in mind that things from Season 1-4 have changed in order to support my version of Growing Pains.

This doesn't mean that the whole show is gonna change to an unrecognizable version, I hope that all Growing Pains Fans like this, as I think its a really neat idea.

The Episode Guide below is merly to see how good this idea is, im going to see how the response is to this Guide if it is good I will then start writing the story! So, any feedback is appreciated aslong as its constructive.

Show Season
This story takes place in the Fifth Season of Growing Pains, and will set in motion how I think the show should have been during the fifth season and on. So, infact this is my own slightly altered version of Growing Pains later seasons! Keep in mind since im writing events how I think they should have happened, many things will change however some will stay the same.
