Hey Seaver Fans,
Angela Bowen here, the host of Show Me That Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast.
Here is S1E2: Springsteen
Airdate: October 1, 1985.
In this episode Mike is mercilessly teased by his friends after he and Jason attend a Bruce Springsteen concert and a TV interviewer captures Jason's overzealous show of affection for his son.
Episode Rating: 3/5 Leather Jackets
I felt Plot B with Carol’s Save the Mice Campaign was a bit over the top. I realize the other kids needed something to do, but this just made me irritated with Carol. Not to mention Eddie and Boner’s first appearance left a bad taste in my mouth. They come off as major dickheads and just plain annoying.
Next week we jump ahead to S1E5: Superdad, which aired on October 29, 1985.
In this episode working mother Maggie Seaver begins to feel edged out of her children's lives and excluded from family affairs by none other than husband Jason.
We also get a guest appearance by future Wonder Years Alum Olivia d'Abo as Wendy a girl who Mike is dog sitting for. Let me just say from memory her character is not all there and very un Karen like.
