ABC "Growing Pains" episodes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

As some of you may know, in 2006, a now-defunct site called In2TV (a joint venture between Warner Bros. and AOL) launched, featuring full-length episodes of some of Warner Bros' classic programs.

One of the lucky shows was "Growing Pains," and thanks to In2TV's short life, I was able to download 8 DVD Quality episodes of "Growing Pains" complete, uncut, & unedited, as first seen on the ABC Television Network, with SEVERAL episodes featuring commercial bumpers saying "Growing Pains will be right back."

Not to change the subject TOO much, but in 1992, in an attempt to capitalize on its successful TGIF Friday night block, the ABC Television Network launched a block called "I Love Saturday Night," where, as with TGIF, the cast members of a show on the block would introduce each episode included on the night's programming; ONE of those lucky blocks featured Kirk Cameron, Jeremy Miller, & a YOUNG Leonardo DiCaprio (as their "Growing Pains" characters Mike Seaver, Ben Seaver, & Luke Brower, respectively) introducing the block on February 8, 1992, the YouTube video of which can be found HERE:

How are those 8 DVD quality episodes different from how they appear on the official DVDs, and which seasons were they from?

Seasons 3-7, and an episode from Season 2 BEFORE the 2nd season hit DVD.
