    "Perfect"
    By Sid_Monge, Jan 31, 2007
    This is the best episode of Growing Pains. From beginning to end, it is nonstop laughs. Jason and Maggie are gone for the day, so Mike and Carol help Ben with his genealogy project for school. As they dig around in the basement and their parents' closet, they learn their parents were divorced. They begin to speculate on whether they have half-siblings and if everything their parents have told them are lies. Of course, in the end it turns out their fears were unwarranted, but the trip there is by far the most enjoyable episode ever. I have no idea why the ratings for this episode are so low. Clearly these people have never actually seen it. Trust me. Watch.moreless
