He's the dad on Growing Pains. Then he hosted some show that was vaguely like America's Funniest Home Videos except I think it was animal themed or something?

He also wrote a bunch of sitcom theme songs. His reach knows no bounds!

paul f tompkins has started doing him as a character on comedy bang bang now also

I'm thinking he's one of these show biz guys who got where he is through hard work and not by having any sort of talent.

he was basically Americas Dad for like 5 years during the height of Growing Pains. Theres not really a 20xxs equivalent of this, the closest I can think of is when you watch videos of Walter White on Malcolm in the Middle

Haha, you're so funny EvilHomer. Everyone's heard of Alan Thicke!

Alan Thicke has done a ton of shit that no one cares about and he's richer than fuck having done it. Now you know.

Hey it's blurred lines. Leave Alan alone!
