Hey Seaver Fans,
Angela Bowen here, the host of Show Me that Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast.
Summertime is here, and boy oh boy, do I have a way to celebrate. Let's go to Maui with the Seavers.
Today, I covered Growing Pains S3E1 and S3E2: Aloha Parts 1 and 2, which originally aired on September 18, 1987.
In PART 1:
Jason faces a near mutiny situation by his unhappy family when the vacationing Seavers are stranded on a rented boat miles from the shores of Maui.
In PART 2:
Romance and relationships are highlighted as the Seaver family continues their vacation in the tropical paradise of Maui.
I had a fun time with this episode.
I loved Ben documenting the Seaver adventures with his 30 lb camera practically glued his shoulder 98% of the time.
Jason got on my nerves quite a bit this episode, I get it, it's a vacation and you want to do things together as a family, but other than the boat on the water that we see when the episode begins and the luau at the end of Part 2, everyone is pretty much doing their own thing.
Mike's chasing after Melia, a girl he met when he arrives at the hotel, Carol's either waiting by the phone for Bobby's call or hanging out with the bellhop Hadley(while he rubs suntan lotion on her and they talk about the fall of the Roman Empire by the pool. If I could insert a snooze Emoji here, I would.
Maggie has to go back to work halfway through the trip and Jason makes her feel guilty for that. Ben even asks his Dad to go horsebacking riding with him and Jason turns him down. WTF Jason!! Apparently he would rather pout in the hotel room after Maggie heads back to New York to her job to finish up a series on Toxic Waste Dumps.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
I asked, and you answered, on social media for what CAROL SEAVER Episode I should do for the month of July because, I haven't done one of her in a while, so I'll be covering Growing Pains S3E15: The Marrying Kind, which aired on January 5, 1988.
In this episode Jason and Maggie are shocked when Carol announces her engagement to Bobby.
Have a great week everyone!
