TV show description:
A popular sitcom of the 1980s that revolves around the Seaver family of Long Island, New York.
Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke) is a stay-at-home Dad and psychiatrist who is married to reporter Maggie Malone Seaver (Joanna Kerns). They are both kept very busy by their three children; troublemaker Mike (Kirk Cameron), brainy Carol (Tracey Gold), and rambunctious Ben (Jeremy Miller).
Later in the series, daughter Chrissy is born and quickly ages from infant to 6 years old (at which time Ashley Johnson began playing the role). Homeless Luke Brower (Leonardo DiCaprio) also briefly stays with the family.
