Family Ties: Season 5
In Family Ties: Season 5, Steven (Michael Gross) and Elyse Keaton (Meredith Baxter Birney) still embody the spirit of the 1960s, while supporting their kids - Alex (Emmy winner Michael J. Fox), Mallory (Justine Bateman), Jennifer (Tina Yothers) and young son Andrew (Brian Bonsall) - in the more conservative 1980s. This season, the Keaton parents have learned to accept their older children, but find it hard to accept the fact that they are practically grown up, with lives of their own: Alex is a junior in college and has a bank job; Jennifer fronts an all-girl rock band; and Mallory has left the mall behind for college, where she studies - what else? fashion! But whatever era they support, the Keaton's will always support each other - on Family Ties!

One of the best sitcoms.... - jovifan
Loved it the first time round in the 80s, found it just as good now! Sure brought back memories of the days before internet, cell phones etc.... Mind you, I've always been a huge Michael J. Fox fan!
It's a timeless show really - shows the conflicts and resolutions between parents and teens. They just don't make shows this good anymore.Brings back memories... - Sheenie
This show was designed for Meredith Baxter-Birney but Michael J. Fox stole the show. This is the series that kicked off his career and lead to him staring in Back To The Future. Have fun traveling to a different time and place and see what life was when with hippie parents raise their kids in the commercialized eighties. You'll enjoy the ride!
