The Diff'rent Strokes theme is genius. But I always found Thicke's turn as the dad on the not really good Growing Pains a bit creepy.

Poor ol' Thicke. Good Canadian boy who had a long and solid career doing pretty middling stuff. "Thicke of The Night" indeed, going up against Johnny. Also wrote The Facts of Life theme. Died playing hockey with his kid, of all things.

Not a bad way to go, doing fun stuff with the family. There will have been laughs before he died.
