On this day in 1992, ABC aired the final episodes to two long-running and beloved family sitcoms – Who’s The Boss (8 seasons) and Growing Pains (7 seasons).

Growing Pains Trivia:

Between the 88-89 season cliffhanger and 89-90 season premiere, Kirk Cameron had a religious awakening and demanded that Julie McCullough’s character of Mike’s fiancée be written out of the show because of McCollough’s real-life Playboy Magazine past.

Kirk Cameron was so intent on keeping the show devoid of adult themes that he phoned the president of ABC and accused producers Dan Guntzelman, Steve Marshall and Michael Sullivan of being “pornographers”. The three then resigned from the show, having had enough of Cameron’s shenanigans.

Matthew Perry appeared in the 88-89 season as Carol’s boyfriend, Sandy. After a handful of episodes, Sandy dies from injuries sustained from a drunk-driving accident.

Leonardo Dicaprio was brought on in a last ditch effort to pump new life into the show and appeal to the teenage fan base, but the show ratings did not improve. Dicaprio’s character was dropped and the show canceled.

Who’s The Boss Trivia:

At the end of season three, the producers of the show decided to spin-off the Mona character into her own series. As a result, the season ended with a two-part episode where Mona moves away in order to run a hotel with her brother while Tony and Samantha move into Mona’s loft apartment. However, due to the fear that Mona’s departure might harm the success of the show, the plans for the spin-off were squashed by ABC executives and a tag sequence was added at the end of the two-parter which featured Mona returning home and Tony and Samantha moving back into Angela’s house.

The original ending for the series, as proposed by the writers, was for Angela and Tony to get married. ABC executives, however, balked at this ending and were supported by Tony Danza, who was against having Tony and Angela get married in the series finale. So the series ended with Tony and Angela breaking up but with Tony appearing on Angela’s doorstep to apply for the housekeeper job in a scene that is almost identical to the opening scene in the pilot episode.
