The Resume

Why Family Ties might be annoying:

    The show originally was to revolve around Elyse and her life as a career woman, but eventually the show revolved around Alex.
    Meredith Baxter reportedly was jealous of Michael J. Fox's success on the show.
    On the series finale, Elyse was shown as being cold against Alex, calling him cold, arrogant and ungrateful. This may have represented Meredith's real-life jealously.
    That opening theme song was a pain to listen to ('Sha la-la-la-la.')
    When the series began, Alex dressed casually, but later he dressed like a preppie.
    As the show progressed, Mallory became more of a ditz.
    Andrew went from being a newborn baby to a 4-year-old in 1 year.
    Considering Alex was smart, it took him 6 years to graduate college.
    Steven Keaton did not have his beard when the show first started.
    All 4 kids were born in awkward situations.
    The show may have typecast Michael J. Fox.
    Andrew Keaton almost became a mini-Alex.
    There were too many flashback episodes.
    They considered having the family die in a plane crash for the final episode.
    This was President Reagan's favorite TV show.

Why Family Ties might not be annoying:

    The show launched Michael J. Fox's career. The show also launched Courtney Cox and Tom Hank's acting career
    The show touched on issues like teen pregnancy, alcoholism, divorce, racism and sexual assault.
    The episode where Jennifer got an F for writing her book report on 'Huckleberry Finn' actually brought up a real issue in the school systems. Some books are actually banned in certain school districts.
    Although Alex was portrayed as the smartest character, some of the other characters were pretty smart too. Jennifer was also a straight-A student, and the parents attended Berkeley.
    It made 'At This Moment' by Billy Vera a very popular song during the 1980s.
    Tracy Pollan played Michael J Fox's love interest on the show, they then married in real life.
