16. He just renewed his contract

The show hasn't changed. It's always been full of sexual references. I know that Kirk Cameron had issues with some of the story lines on Growing Pains, but I don't believe he ever criticized the show publicly. Alan Thicke advised him that if he thought Growing Pains was too racy, he'd better turn to Christian entertainment, which is exactly what he did after the show was over. I wonder if Angus is one of these child actors that's been supporting his entire family and he's continued doing it under duress. Well, he's 18 now. If he's miserable he should quit. Maybe that's why they had his character join the Army. They're probably going to send him to Afghanistan.

And what does his contract say about "conduct detrimental to the show" or some such? KamaAina Nov 2012 #50

Rather convenient that he wants out as the show is in its ratings decline. white_wolf Nov 2012 #5

To be fair, he was a minor for most of those 10 years. LisaL Nov 2012 #7

it was a good balance for a couple years and denigrated to filth. the kid is right. nt seabeyond Nov 2012 #37

I think it was always filthy, but at least with Charile Sheen there it was more entertaining. LisaL Nov 2012 #39

i really only watched a couple seasons. how long has it been on? but, i started to get more and seabeyond Nov 2012 #40

The "filth" was somewhat subtle, WorseBeforeBetter Nov 2012 #58
