Family Ties ( 1982-1989 ) vs Growing Pains ( 1985-1992 ) Sept 22, 2017 0:54:14 GMT Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by mysterioman007 on Sept 22, 2017 0:54:14 GMT I liked both shows, but I think Family Ties was more intelligently written and funnier. I still enjoyed Growing Pains, though.
