Family Ties is a
television sitcom that aired on
NBC for seven seasons, from 1982 to 1989. The sitcom reflected the move in the
United States from the liberal 1960s and 1970s to the
neoconservatism of the 1980s.
[ This was particularly expressed through the relationship between Young Republican Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox) and his hippie parents, Elyse and Steven Keaton (Meredith Baxter-Birney and Michael Gross).]
