-Comment: Tracey Gold in rare shaped bibs/straps and belt in season 1. At least in 2 episodes, pic is from the DVD bloopers hitting 9 yo Ben (Jeremy Miller) coincidentally with an egg. For more, see below.

I like this 1980s family series (especially Jeremy Miller and guest stars like young Leonardo DiCaprio). One of my favourites, I think only "Home Improvement" I like more (see that entry, rating 6, all 3 sons in bibs, I have to watch and update that entry).

Sadly there are only 2 seasons available on DVD. I also have some parts of later episodes on VHS but have not the time to check them right now.


Also starring Alan Thicke and Joanna Kerns. Nominated for 3 Golden Globes. Some Young Artist Awards for Miller and Cameron and nominations for Tracey Gold and DiCaprio. For the bib scenes rating 6 for now.

DVDs:
Season 1. German PAL2 DVD, full screen 4:3, DVD extra "Seaver Family Reunion" (2007) and some unaired scenes. German language only. No subtitles.
Seaosn 2: German Pal2 DVD, 4:3, German, English and Spanish audio, and some more subtitles. No extras at all.
Both good image quality.

Updates: No bib scenes in season 2 except for an old man in ep. 2.21.
One teen girl in green jeans with suspenders, but no reral bibs in ep. 2.13.
in the movie "Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers" (2004) one little black girl (one of the adopted daughters of Mike) in bibs. One short scene.

Season 2 also includes my favourite episode of all seasons (2.16 "My Brother, Myself") with Ben's puberty. And some other good episodes with Ben in different jeans and pajamas. Raw denim jeans I think mainly in ep 2.1, mosty in light blue jeans.
I still need to check season 1 again and the other seasons.

Update: One brief scene of a boy in s2e18.
