I had a strange dream in my sleep the night prior to writing this very post, pertaining to the ABC Television Program “Growing Pains”; which ran from 1985-1992.
For one thing, this dream consisted of Shari Lewis (a personal friend of Alan Thicke, who played the father on this Television Sitcom); and her puppets and sidekicks: Lamb Chop, Hush Puppy, and Charlie Horse each making guest appearances on this Television Sitcom.
Another thing, the characters who are the sons (portrayed by Actors Kirk Cameron and Jeremy Miller), are playing the (icky, yucky) Sport of Basketball; and while sweaty and full of body odor after playing the (icky, yucky) Sport of Basketball, someone bathes them by washing them down with a Power Washer/Pressure Washer in a manner similar to a non-human Animal, an Automobile, a Medium-Duty or Heavy-Duty Truck, a Bus, an RV; or a piece of machinery such as a Tractor, a Bulldozer, or a Lawn Mower.
The only thing that matters the most is that as this Television Show was networked by ABC Television, it would have passed through the transmitters of ABC’s owned and operated Television Stations: WXYZ-TV in Detroit, WABC-TV in New York City, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WLS-TV in Chicago, and KGO-TV in San Francisco.
It would have also passed through the transmitters of ABC Television affiliates such as WKBW-TV in Buffalo, New York; WSOC-TV in Charlotte, North Carolina after owner Cox Broadcasting had switched it from being an NBC Television affiliate to an ABC Television affiliate in 1978; and Cox’s flagship Television Station WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia after Cox had switched that Station from being an NBC Television affiliate to an ABC Television affiliate in 1980.
