Family Ties is a true sitcom classic. Someone else mentioned that Family Ties was the All in the Family of the 80s. Family Ties was the reverse of All in the Family as far as character roles go. The children were the conservatives and the parents were the liberals. The only time Alex changed his conservative Republican views was to impress a girl (womens rights, art, and acting). Family Ties was a well balanced show, and each character, no matter if it was Alex or Skippy, all "tied" the show together. There are a lot of shows out there that might give you more laughs, but Family Ties is a show that I will hold close to my heart forever. Family Ties was about more than just the laughs. And it was the only show that brought tears so my eyes on the series finale.
