Growing Pains: S7E11: Bad Dad Cafe

Happy Saturday Seaver Fans, Angela Bowen here, the host of Show Me That Smile Again: A Growing Pains Podcast. The 2nd LUKE BROWER Episode for the month of June. Today, I covered S7E11: Bad Dad Cafe, which aired on November 23, 1991. In this episode Mike's skeptical when Luke's dad reappears wanting his son back. Ben pretends to be Luke so Mike can check the man out. I’m so glad that Luke called out his dad for his BS excuse of not sticking around to raise him and then his dad doesn’t even bat an eye when Luke tells him he had been living on the streets for 3 years eating out of dumpsters and scared he’d get beat up. He still kept up hope his dad would find him. His dad is a garbage 🗑 person. He practically forces Luke to go with him on the road and at one point tells Mike that Luke doesn’t need to be in school and he’ll learn from life on the road because he’s only got an 8th grade education. It shows. Good grief. Also he’s got like 8 other kids that he upped and abandoned as well. 8 babymommas that probably want to know where he is and sue his for child support.. Have a great weekend everyone!
