This shite was to epic too be contained in a throw away paragraph in the MovieTV Board thread. My mind is somewhat blown right now. He is an even bigger 80s sitcom legend than we already knew.

quote:

Thicke also was a songwriter who composed the theme songs to such sitcoms as Hello, Larry; Diff’rent Strokes; and The Facts of Life.

I had a crush on Tracey Gold, who played his daughter Carol on "Growing Pains."

Wrote her a fan letter and told her she was the perfect girl for me if she would just lose a few pounds.

I remember him in some Disney movie I believe where he had a teenage son who was a robot. I can't remember the name of the movie but for some reason I liked it when I was a kid.

I always said that I'd start to feel old when people who I watched on TV when I was growing up started dying.
