Growing Pains episode questions.....
There was an episode where the family (perhaps without Ben) went to some dinner theater to see a play where all the women were actually men dressed in drag. No one told Mike who was all about one of the "girls." Anyway, I was looking for the episode or, more specifically, the name of the play.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Pretty sure because he was a moron, and would do "bonehead" things or "pull a boner". Nothing to do with an engorged penis

That's one of the few facts I actually remember from Growing Pains.
Mike: "You're father's name is Sylvester Stabone?!"
Hey, if M*A*S*H can name a African American javelin thrower "Spearchucker" and Leave it to Beaver can name a child "Whitey", I see no problem with "Boner"
Mike: "You're father's name is Sylvester Stabone?!"

try this.

Although, a couple days ago I was watching an episode where Mike, Carol and Ben went with their grandmother to see a play where all the "girls" were men. Mike was all excited, Carol knew what the play was and Jason tried to tell Mike about it but Carol cut him off saying she already told him what it was. Jason and Maggie tried to celebrate their anniversary but had a tough time doing it.

that was the one! thanks. I'm sure I can find it from there.
there was also an hour long Halloween special that was pretty bizarre that I've been looking forward to seeing again (after having seen it as a kid/teenager several times on vhs back in the day).

I remembered which one that was over the weekend while driving somewhere (don't ask how/why). Anyway, I think it was the one where some girl befriended Carol just to try to hit on Mike. Mike and Boner were working on that science experiment or something, hence the torso cast.
