It gave me my first impression of America

I was born in 1986. I started watching "Growing Pains" when I was very young. As long as it was broadcast on TV, I would watch it and laugh happily.

It feels different every time you watch it. When I was a child, I was very interested in the large refrigerator of the Seaver family. I thought it would have many, many magical functions, and I wondered when I could have one in my home. Later, when I was in middle school, I was more envious of the colorful lives of the Seaver children. They could talk so frankly with their parents and fall in love so freely. And now, I can sing every word of the opening song that I hummed for hours, and download the English soundtrack to practice listening. I will still be the same as before, watching and laughing, my mother always said that I watched it all. Many times, I don't know what I'm laughing at.

It gave me the most intuitive and vivid first impression of America, not just me, but a generation of people my age.

The broadcast of an American drama usually takes several years or even ten years, but it is this feature that gives American dramas a special function, which is to record a period of time in each audience's life.
