Growing Pains

Created by Neal Marlens

On ABC

A warm, optimistic family sitcom built on the central premise of role reversal and domestic adjustment, sustained across 166 episodes as a reliable, rewatchable comfort show.

Fatherhood has taken on a whole new meaning for Jason Seaver, who has assumed the chores of cooking, cleaning and minding the kids so that his wife, Maggie, can pursue a career in journalism after spending 15 years as a housewife.
