TV Show of the Day: Just the Ten of Us

Do you remember this show? Sure you do! It all started when Growing Pains – the highly-successful ABC sitcom of the 80s – needed a spinoff to, er, extend its success. Coincidentally, there was a character at the high school the Seaver kids attended named Coach Lubbock. Add in a backstory (he’s married with seven kids and one on the way) and, bammo! It’s a spinoff.

The whole thing was the usual 80s cheeseball but, man, I still like it. I wish I could watch it now. I remember the big old house they bought very, very far from Growing Pains’ locale (original, that!) along with the entire intro. I even typed out the song with my pal Liz on AIM one night. It’s scary when you remember a show so well; it’s even scarier when you remember the theme song to a show so well. – pm

the words to “still got your fire” from what i can make out on a casette i tape

cindy
when we first meet it felt just like forever,
you where the spark and i was the flame,
i couln’t keep our tensions from raising,
just wisper in your head.

connie
Now we both know what god can do to lovers,
the sparkling rage, and then i await.

merry
But in my heart felt average of a lover,
my love burns brighter for you every day.

chorus
Still got your fire, still got your heat.
give me your love from my head to my feet,
still want your touch, give me a kiss,
you know this time won’t always be like this.

cindy
Don’t be affraid where never gonna burn out.

connie
Just hold me close and i guarantee

merry

wendy

chorus
Still got your fire, still got your heat.
Give me your love from my head to my feet.

You know this time won’t always be like this.

cindy

Love you more than you’ll ever know, in a way
i’ll never let you go.

Chorus
Still got your fire, still got your heat.
Give me your love from my head to my feet,
Still want your touch, give me a kiss.
You know this time won’t always be like this.
Still got your fire.

I think This show is awesome, it was one of my favorite show and I give anything for it to be release on DVD. The parts I like is when the little girl in glasses always mad to her brother.
