No they're not. The Wonder Years kids are doing well. Fred is a producer (and has acted), Danica got a degree in math and has written many math books and acts in Hallmark or Lifetime movies (they're all the same to me), and Josh is a lawyer married with two kids.

Michael J. Fox has Parkinsons but that's not because of anything he did - he's never been in any scandals. Justine and Jason Bateman have weathered the 80's nicely. Punky Brewster married a jewish guy and cranked out four kids and is best friends with Rebecca Gayheart (sp?) and is pretty wholesome.

Aside from the guy who played Mark, all the kids from Roseanne have turned out pretty well and stayed somewhat normal.

Umm, I don't think you've googled Fred Savage lately. By no means an upstanding human, allegedly.

Candace Cameron seems more normal.

Candace Cameron is not normal. She left the hallmark challenge so she can only do movies with “traditional family values” meaning no gay couples. Also, she has a “traditional marriage” where her husband is allowed to make all the decisions.

See I think that is normal. She has a personal belief, she is entitled to it and she decided instead of wasting effort arguing and railing against the network, she left, joined one that also shared her personal beliefs. It's a win-win. Hallmark doesn't have to deal with her personal beliefs that they don't believe in and she can join up with others who share her beliefs. The thing with TV is no one has to watch it and you are free to turn the channel.

I also appreciate that she addressed the situation once and moved on. More celebrities should take note. People expected her to be "cancelled" and that didn't happen.

You will understand the love Cameron and Candice have for Christ if you understood the bible. The bible and really knowing Christ transforms your life at any and every age.

Cosby kids are also normal.

Lisa Bonet comes across as anything but normal.

What's abnormal about Bonet? She's divorced and remarried like half the people in America and I assume DCUM. You do not hear about her in the news. I am curious as to what makes her appear abnormal.

We were expressing patterns regarding their behavior and mental health, I am in the mental health field. Additionally, your presuming we are not Christians or don't understand the Bible or know Christ (wow!) because we are discussing and have issues with Cameron is presumptuous and ignorant. A lot of devout people have issues with his brand of Christianity.

I think this religiosity keeps something in check for him, what it is remains a mystery. Maybe a history of sexual or emotional trauma, maybe his rage, maybe some sadism, maybe it's his drug that wards off depression, I am not sure. But intuitively it strikes me that his faith is not of the healthy kind that helps a person cope and be hopeful. He seems joyless to me and not particularly open.

I mean, this is spot on. It reminds me of a guy I used to work with. I know several deeply religious people who are truly good people - they are tolerant and they seem to get a lot of comfort from their faith. This is something different.
