WOW!!! I don't know where the time goes? That is a cliché I know, but really 30 years ago was when I moved out here to California. I didn't know Growing Pains premiered around the same time? I thought it was later?! I was thinking it came out in like 1987 or so!?

It came on in 1985.

The sitcom starring Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns, Kirk Cameron, Tracey Gold and Jeremy Miller debuted on Sept. 24, 1985.

Show me that smile again!

It's been 30 years since we met the Seavers on "Growing Pains" in 1985 -- don't worry, we feel old too -- and we're celebrating the milestone by taking a look back at the show's cast to see what they've been up to for the last three decades.

The series, which ran for seven seasons, followed the lives of psychiatrist Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke), his wife, Maggie (Joanna Kerns) and their family. Jason took care of the kids: ladies man Mike (Kirk Cameron), book worm Carol (Tracey Gold), wild child Ben (Jeremy Miller), youngest daughter Chrissy.

Since starring in the beloved '80s series, Thicke went on to appear on "Hope & Gloria," "jPod," "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "How I Met Your Mother." The 68-year-old actor is currently starring in his own reality show, “Unusually Thicke,” which follows his life with third wife Tanya Callau and their teenage son, Carter.

While the TV patriarch loved his time on the sitcom, he recently said he's not interested in a reunion.

"I am perfectly happy to let that rest where it is,” he told Fox411. "We did a couple of movies and that went very nicely, but I think we all have a better feeling about the nostalgia of things like that and I think we might all be disappointed if we saw it again, attempting to be fresh and new."

The father of singer Robin Thicke also has mixed emotions about the idea of the show being turned into a movie.

"I don’t think there are any bodies left to uncover because it has largely been covered already by TMZ,” he said. "They covered my family pretty thoroughly. They covered Kirk Cameron pretty thoroughly. They covered Tracey Gold. Come to think of it, maybe it would be interesting!"

In terms of his TV daughter, Gold had a very public battle with anorexia, which started during her stint on the show. She went on to star in Lifetime’s unscripted series, "Starving Secrets With Tracey Gold," which featured the actress sharing her own experiences with other women and helping them get treatment.

Thirty years - cool.
