The shows premise is based on the fictional Seaver family, who reside in Huntington, Long Island, New York. Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke), a psychiatrist, works from home because his wife, Maggie Malone (Joanna Kerns), has gone back to work as a reporter. Jason has to take care of the kids: troublemaker Mike (Kirk Cameron), honors student Carol (Tracey Gold), and rambunctious Ben (Jeremy Miller). A fourth child, Chrissy Seaver, was born in 1988. She was played in her infant stage by twins Kristen and Kelsey Dohring (who alternated in the role). Beginning in the fall of 1990, Chrissys age was advanced to six years old, whereupon Ashley Johnson took over the role. The shows theme song is As Long as Weve Got Each Other, which was written and composed by both John Bettis and Steve Dorff. In 2000, the cast reunited for The Growing Pains Movie, followed by Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers in 2004. 一部由美国ABC公司拍摄的大型情景喜剧片New words 1）near sighted chaperone [??p?r?un] n. 一个近视的年长监护者 2）condolence ?[condo·lence] n. ?哀悼; 吊唁 3）flunk（v. fail） English 英语考试不及格 4) grade on curve 是美国学校考试的一种计分方法，可以提高学生实际
