Is there no end to the pop-cult rippling from Titanic's gargantuan splash? Never one to miss out on a tie-in opportunity, Disney makes its contribution to the lionization of Leonardo DiCaprio by airing 16 episodes from the final (1991-92) season of Growing Pains (Disney Channel, March 16-23, 5:30-6 and 6-6:30 p.m.). DiCaprio, 16 years old when cast, guest-starred in the Alan Thicke sitcom as Luke, a homeless kid befriended by Kirk Cameron's Mike when he taught at an inner-city high school. But what a difference six years makes: As Leo's juggernaut proceeds full steam ahead, Cameron, the teen dream of that moment, has long since seen his vessel run aground.
