"Growing Pains" was the sitcom with the highest ratings from 1985 to 1992. It is still played on Chinese TV screens today. The happy and open-minded attitude of the Xifo family left an unforgettable impression on the audience. The cast of the show was once hailed as an "A-level cast" by producer Michael Sullivan. As a representative work of the new family-centered sitcom in the 1980s, "Growing Pains" shows us the happy life of a suburban family with many children. The filming of "Growing Pains" began in 1985 and ended in 1992. It was first screened by the Radio and Television Company on September 24, 1985. The real-life version of "Growing Pains" is undoubtedly somewhat different from the original show. This is caused by the improvisation of the actors. Moreover, as a sitcom, it did not always maintain its hilarious characteristics and even went through tragedy in a few episodes, but this is not hindering it from becoming one of the most popular television shows of its time. In any case, it is a very successful TV series that not only set a ratings record, but was also exported to several countries and even influenced the development direction of TV sitcoms after it. Since the Shanghai TV dubbing version was produced in China, Growing Pains has been continuously broadcast on TV stations across the country. It is not only popular with primary and secondary school students, but also popular with college students and young people. It should be said that Growing Pains has accompanied the growth of a generation.
