I loved this show.
They all look great. It sad what happened to Michael J Fox.
None of the the shows today compare to this one. It was a wholesome show that talked about great topics.

    I heard about this last night. Why were they all on the show, just for a reunion? How does Michael J. Fox look these days?

    It is very sad. But on a positive note, he has certainly brought Parkinson’s disease to the forefront.

    And I absolutely LOVED this show. Definately one of the best written shows ever.

    Aw...I would have loved to see that. I hope they put it on youtube.
    It really was a great show.
    I loved when Ton Hanks was on and the mom caught him in the pantry drinking the vanilla extract. And he said, remember, never bake and drive. lol

    I just got done watching it about 20 minutes ago. I loved that show too. Michael J. Fox looked okay, he was moving around a lot and it looked like he is doing a bit better. I wonder how much he is medicated? Poor guy, I still think he's cute..I had a huge crush on him when I was younger...he has a pretty wife and cute kids. I wish they could find a cure for that..

    A cure for a pretty wife and cute kids?!? It's called bringing a transvestite prostitute to the next PTA meeting.

    LMAO :D



    I loved that show. They seemed like a real family as much as any tv family can.

    I read Michael J Fox's book "Lucky Man". Quite an interesting read.

    Isn't this the one where the blonde woman used to always pull out the guitar and sing This Land Is Your Land?

    I LOVED "Family Ties" while growing up!!! Such a great cast and very well written.

    And it is sad about Michael J. Fox. What a terrific actor and seemingly a great human being. From Family Ties where we all first got to know him, to the Back To The Future trilogy, into Doc Hollywood, then Spin City. He's just a terrific actor and sorely missed today on the screen. You know if it wasn't for his condition, his list of acting accomplishments would be so much longer.

    my favorite was when Skippy and Malorie had to dress up in Squirrel costumes to keep warm, they were locked in the basement.

    sigh...that was funny.

    I wanted to see Skippy. I wonder what happened to him

    Tina Yothers scared the crap out of me...it was like they went on hiatus between filming and she grew 3 feet and became a lumberjack.
