Before Tracey Gold was part of the Seaver family on Growing Pains, she was part of Shirley Jones’ family on Shirley. How cute was the 10-year-old in that 1979 episode?
Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition is back on the Food Network after a two-year break, and this edition is going to be themed. Each of the worst cooks was on a ’90s television show.
So who are these celebs who finally want to learn how to cook? They are Lori Beth Denberg (All That), Elisa Donovan (Clueless), Tracey Gold (Growing Pains), Jennie Kwan (California Dreams), Matthew Lawrence (Boy Meets World), Mark Long (Road Rules), Jodie Sweetin (Full House), Nicholle Tom (The Nanny) and Curtis Williams (The Parent ‘Hood).
Jennie Kwan has my vote to win because I loved California Dreams, followed by Lori Beth Denberg. Wait, I am rooting for all of them but Mark Long because Road Rules is the only show I didn’t watch back then. Who do you want to win?
Along with all of the new contestants, Anne Burrell has a new chef by her side, and he is Sandwich King’s Jeff Mauro.
Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition: That’s So ’90s debuts on April 24th. The winner of the $25,000 to their favorite charity will be revealed on May 29th.
So the other day my friend and I were talking about Joanna Kerns and he says he hopes that they don’t do a Growing Pains revival. Well, I had to break it to him that Jeremy Miller aka Ben Seaver told Us Weekly that he, Kirk Cameron and Tracey Gold are talking about doing one.
He said, “We’re still in talks right now. We’re actually doing story creation and brainstorming right now. Kirk [Cameron], Tracey [Gold] and I are in constant contact about it and are trying to put together a workable storyline that will be respectful to Alan and the cast and the history and everything.”
The patriarch of the show died suddenly in 2016. In the past, Cameron said he would not be interested in a reunion without Thicke. I guess he changed his mind.
Before you get too excited for the sitcom’s return, they have not even pitched it to any production companies yet. Therefore, they are in the really early talks and it could wind up not happening like Coach and Northern Exposure.
Do you want to see the Seavers again on your televisions or are you OK just watching them in syndication?

This Thanksgiving, Antenna TV is going to air every single episode of Growing Pains from 8p on November 21st until 8p on November 25th. That means you get to see all 166 episodes in order for free.
You can watch Kirk Cameron, Tracey Gold and Jeremy Miller grow up in front of our eyes and Leonardo DiCaprio become a heartthrob. Plus, you have an excuse to ditch your family. You can tell them you do not want to miss the Matthew Perry episode. That one still makes me cry.
Don’t get Antenna TV, then if you live in the Bay Area, SoCal or Phoenix, then you can download the Local BTV app and record the 4-day marathon so you don’t miss a single episode. I just found about it yesterday and I am hooked to free channels app. Now if only they can add LAFF, I would be in hog heaven.
Over the weekend, the Pop Culture Icon convention was held in St Louis and several pop culture icons came out for the event without their babysitters.
To name a few of the celebs who attended, there was Adventures in Babysitting’s Keith Coogan, Diff’rent Strokes Todd Bridges and Growing Pains Tracey Gold and Jeremy Miller. Before things got crazy, they got crazy and recreated the AiB poster.
They look so good doing it, I think they should make a sequel to the 1987 film together. Could you imagine all the hijinx they could get into? It would be like totally awesome.
BTW is it just me or does Gold look like Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli’s secret daughter?
