Movie Description
Michael J. Fox catapulted into superstardom--and
created one of the most beloved television characters of all
time--in the 1980s sitcom FAMILY TIES. Created by TV impresario
Gary David Goldberg (LOU GRANT, THE BOB NEWHART SHOW), the series
offered a clever take on the generation gap through the family
interactions of two former '60s hippies, public-television producer
Steven Keaton (Michael Gross) and his architect wife, Elyse
(Meredith Baxter). Together, they struggle to retain their leftist
ideals while raising three radically divergent children in suburban
Columbus, Ohio: tomboy Jennifer (Tina Yothers); ditzy mallrat
Mallory (Justine Bateman); and, most notably, Wall Street
Journal-reading young Republican Alex P. Keaton (Fox), who served
as the series' main comedic foil. A fun and warmhearted throwback
to the greed-is-good decade, FAMILY TIES is resurrected in this
collection of the series' first four seasons.
