Growing Pains: Christmas Episode Season 2 - II of III

Quality not terrific especially at the beginning. I've had this video for about fifteen years or so since I taped this off of a local Cincinnati Station.
It's one of my favorite Christmas Episodes of any shows although I can't say I was a big Growing Pains fan in general. I had hoped Season Two would have been released on DVD, as I would have bought it just for this.

Great job by Hallie Todd as the kid. Some very funny moments in this episode but yet manages to get the message across.

thanks for posting this even though you weren't a big fan of the show... it's interesting when parents teach their kids to give to the less fortunate, but then when they do something so generous like this, it makes them re-think the lessons about giving to the poor!

By not being a big fan I mean I did watch if it was on and I happen to be around the set, but it wasn't one of those shows I went out of my way to see. But like I also said this is one of my favorite Christmas episodes.

Doesn't seem that strange that she'd be carrying around a knife. Unarmed isn't a smart thing to be as a young homeless girl wandering in the street.

@companyof8 they igore and exploit homeless teens as much now as they did then

@Offended83Shadow times & the way tv handled situations like this was alot different 25 years ago when this was filmed; today's society & media outlets would (and does) deal with it alot differently. I think you realize that right?

"alright who kicked me this time!" LOL i don't know why that line has stuck with me allll these years, but it's the best part, LOL. thanks for sharing.

I am not proud of the way they handled this. I grew up on the streets litterally homeless teen. As a psychiatrist and a journalist they should have known the dangers that girl had to deal with and that she had to have a way to protect herself

the Seavers are the kind of family that would get caught up in 411 Nigerian scam

OMG-this was from 1986! It's like watching my childhood on screen! Funny! I was like 13 when this was on.
