b'Hey Seaver Fans,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of Show Me That Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast. Today, in honor of the 2020 Graduates, I decided to cover Growing Pains S3E26: Graduation Day, which aired on May 4, 1988.\\n\\nIn this episode Mike\'s graduation stirs memories from his proud parents, who recall his birth and first day of school. Carol loses her long-standing bet that her brother will never graduate.\\n\\nWe get flashbacks of Jason and Maggie as new parents to baby Mikey, we see Mike\'s first steps and his first day of school. We even see a four year old Carol being played by Judith Barsi who provided the voices of "Ducky" from The Land Before Time and "Anne Marie" from All Dogs Go To Heaven, which was her last film role before her tragic murder by her father. We even get to see how Mike and Boner first met and how Boner got his nickname. Honestly, I think it\'s better than the alternative "Dickie" cause his name is Richard Stabone.\\n\\nIt seems like in almost every flashback we get, Maggie is pregnant, with Carol when Mike takes his first steps and then she\'s pregnant with Ben when 5 year old Mike is trying to avoid questions about his time at school.\\n\\nJoin me in June when I cover just in time for Summer 2020, Growing Pains S3E1 and S3E2 Aloha Parts 1 and 2, which aired on September 18, 1987.\\n\\nIn PART 1:\\n\\nJason faces a near mutiny situation by his unhappy family when the vacationing Seavers are stranded on a rented boat miles from the shores of Maui. (Part 1 of 2)\\n\\nIn PART 2:\\n\\nRomance and relationships are highlighted as the Seaver family continues their vacation in the tropical paradise of Maui. (Part 2 of 2)\\n\\nHave a great holiday weekend and as always:\\n\\nStay Safe, Stay Healthy, Stay Positive!\\n\\nWe WILL Get Through This!'
