简介:It all commenced on April 20, 1988, during a memorable episode of the iconic series "Growing Pains," titled "How the West Was Won." When Mike Seaver's cherished mentor, Coach Lubbock, finds himself out of a job, Mike and Boner uncover that the coach is responsible for nine dependents. Consequently, Coach Lubbock uproots his family and relocates them to Eureka, California, where he takes the helm as the coach at St. Augustine's Academy, a Catholic institution. The intriguing twist? The school is an exclusively all-boys institution, yet Coach Lubbock must find a place for his five daughters. Amidst the whirlwind of romance and learning, one valuable lesson is imparted in every episode.

The Lubbock family, portrayed by Graham, consisted of his wife, Elizabeth, a devout Catholic with a strong faith and moral compass; J.R., a mischievous pre-teen who reveled in watching horror films and frightening his sisters; Sherrie, the intellectually gifted pre-teen; and the adorable toddlers Harvey and Melissa. The series revolved primarily around the enchanting Lubbock Babes: Marie, the oldest, who was reserved and somewhat like a nun; Cindy, the carefree and spacey girl; Wendy, the flirtatious daughter with lustrous blonde hair; and Connie, the literary-minded one. In the second season, the four teenage daughters formed the singing group "The Lubbock Babes" and began captivating audiences at a local eatery.

In addition to the Lubbocks, the series featured other memorable characters, including Graham's employer, Father Hargis, the self-absorbed and absent-minded headmaster of the school; Sister Ethel, the scatterbrained elderly nun; Duane Johnson, the director of the athletic department; and Gavin Doosler, the dim-witted school resident who was smitten with the Lubbock Babes. Throughout the run of the show, many of the minor guest stars returned to play different roles.

Despite not being deemed a resounding success, the series remains fondly remembered and cherished by many. Its enduring popularity can be attributed, in part, to its post-cancellation run on USA Network, where it was aired daily in reruns for an impressive six years.
