Family Ties OR Growing Pains?!?



OR



This is a tough call for me. I used to love both of these family sitcoms and I believe THIS is a equally match-up (without bring The Cosby Show in the middle of it).

I don't even remember Growing Pains... is that the one w/ the curly haired dude who's now a Scientologist? Meredith Baxter Berney was the mom? I liked that show, but Family Ties was my shit! Oh wait, she was the mom on Family Ties, huh? falloff Alan Thicke was the dad though (on Growing Pains), right??

Damn, I'm confusing myself confused

Kirk Cameron (who became a born-again Christian during the peak of his career as a teen idol) was on Growing Pain with Alan Thicke (the biological father of recording artist Robin Thicke).

Michael J. Fox was on Family Ties with Meredith Baxter.

I loved Family Ties, but Growing Pains had the episode where they played Tiffany's song, "Could've Been" and that was my song! I also had a mini crush on Boner and then young Leo DiCaprio was the homeless kid. It's a toughie.

I've always said that Kirk Cameron was ABC's answer to NBC's Michael J. Fox.

Family Ties. By a landslide.

Mallory Keaton was fine as hell, IMO. But then again, TV actress Justine Bateman is still sexy even today. cool
