In this wild spoof of
The Twilight Zone in general and that series' 1960 episode "
A World of Difference" in particular, Ben (Jeremy Miller) expresses the wish that Real Life were more like TV. In true "be careful what you wish for" fashion, Ben dreams that he and his family are actually characters in a TV sitcom called "Meet the Seavers"--and that he is really an actor named Jeremy Miller! The concept is played for all it is worth, with the rest of the
Growing Pains cast members identified by their real names, not to mention cameo appearances by the series' production staff and by
Joanna Kerns' daughter Ashley Kerns. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
