| Summary: |

Rating: |
| One of a kind show. |
Family Ties - The Complete Second Season is just as good as the first season, maybe even better. The writing, storylines, and flawless acting is what kept this show alive for seven seasons. Justine Bateman really finds her nitch this season, I just adored her as dimwitted Mallory Keaton. My favorite episodes include: The Homecoming, This Year's Model, Speed Trap, Say Uncle, Ladie's Man, and Baby Boy Doe. I highly recommend season 2, you won't regret it! |

| Woohoo! |
Well, if you thought Justine Bateman was hot as the Keaton's daughter Mallory in season 1, well, she's still just as hot in season 2! Yay! |

Family Ties - The Second Season
What we like about the Family Ties series? Its warmth. It feels like home, in a good sense, it feels cosy, with a tiny little touch of nostalgia... All the actors are superb and the whole thing is very funny! |

| Much better set than season one |
Family Ties really began to hit its stride in the 1983-84 season. There are many standout episodes, including Alex as Scrooge in "A Keaton Christmas Carol"; Alex & Mallory's trip to Princeton ("Go Tigers"); another memorable guest apperance by Tom Hanks ("Say Uncle"), to name just a few.
The real treat in this set is the inclusion of several bonus features, after the bare-bones release of season one. "The Making of Family Ties" offers both recent and vintage interviews with the cast. Unfortunately, neither Meredith Baxter-Birney or Justine Bateman take part in the new material. Michael Gross and Michael J. Fox talk with pride and passion about the show, and you may not even recognize Tina Yothers now.
There is also another brief segment with Fox, and "The Year of the Beard," in which Gross waxes nostalgic on his choice to grow a beard during the summer 1983 hiatus. Episode promos are an added bonus, and really took this viewer back to those great NBC Thursday nights.
As Marc "Skippy" Price puts it, Family Ties is the perfect 80's time capsule. Yet, it doesn't really seem that dated. The humor and heart of the show are timeless. And we fans are fortunate that Paramount is giving the series the respect it deserves on DVD.

| We Need More of These On TV These Days |
Amazon.com does a great public service to offer this series for sale at an affordable price. The plots and actors are just great for an entire family to watch. Too bad we do not see these types of shows around anymore. No matter how great Frazier is, Family Ties still trump my list of all time favorites. |
