About this show

Sometimes life's lessons challenge you. Sometimes they give you a good belly laugh. This iconic '80s comedy series offers both! When Jason Seaver moves his psychiatry practice into the house so his wife can return to the workforce, he finds that managing a household of three kids is trickier than he thought — but not without its rewards.

I can not tell you enough how awesome this show is!!!! Kirk Cameron is my favorite person on the planet.He’s a fantastic actor, awesome Father/Husband, funny, perfect Christian. Each episode teaches you a lot about family and growing up as an adolescent. Tracy Gold plays Carol perfectly, Jeremy Miller portrays Ben in the only way he can, adorable young kid, that just does what he wants cuz he’s the youngest. Alan Thicke does a phenomenal job as Jason. Joanna Kerns is so funny and an amazing actress. All I’m trying to say is, WATCH THE SHOW YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!
