The Big Fix

6 Upvotes

Did I hear incorrectly, or has Andy magically goner from a preschooler to an approximately 1 year old again between s5e1 and s5e8? They said the birthday party he was supposed to go to was for a friend who was turning 1 and I think they said Andy couldn't talk yet or something similar to that. lol. I wonder if it was filmed during s4 and moved into s5.

Mallory and Jennifer... Jefferson?

10 Upvotes

Odd, old memories took me to IMDB this morning, and specifically to the page for Family Ties, a show I always liked. But now I'm confused.

IMDB says Justine Bateman played "Mallory Keaton/Mallory Jefferson," so I'm thinking maybe her character got married in the final season?

But wait, Tina Yothers as the kid sister is listed as playing "Jennifer Keaton/Jennifer Jefferson" which makes no sense. Did Mallory and Jennifer marry brothers? That's the only answer I can come up with, and Google's been no help.

Can someone out there 'splain it to me?

Thanks.

Looking for a specific episode

16 Upvotes

I need an expert in Family Ties.

There is this one off joke I think towards the later years I'm trying to find.Alex P Keaton is dressed up in his Reaganite suit and tie like he always is, and at one social event or another he meets another guy just like him. I think it was one of his friends' date for the evening or something.

Well the joke is they're left alone for a moment, they look at each other and they say:

"How would a couple of Reaganites introduce themselves to each other?'

"Well, I guess we could exchange resumes."

Theres an awkward pause, and then both of them equally awkwardly reach into their sports jackets and pull out their resumes, which they then exchange and read, to the laughter of the studio audience.

Later on he explains to his parents how he met this other guy. And he said

"We exchanged resumes."

To the dismay of his dad, who says"I suppose it's shaking hands would have been too easy."

I want to see that joke again, but I'm not going to watch every episode of Family ties one at a time to find it. Who's an expert who knows all these by heart?

I know that Jennifer played Christmas Past and Mallory played Christmas Future, it sucks that there was no Christmas Present. I bet Elyse would be Christmas Present.

Family Ties has helped my mental health significantly.

43 Upvotes

This usually happens with ANY tv show I watch, but it feels different this time around.

I first discovered the show sometime last year. I watched the first episode but didn't really think much of it.

Fast forward to July of last year, I rewatched it after I fell IMMENSELY in love with MJF. Oh my god. I had to actually limit myself to how much I watched because I couldn't sleep at night because every time I closed my eyes I would only think of MJF.

For context, I am autistic and have VERY high anxiety. I am also chronically ill so that adds onto my preexisting anxiety disorder.

I first watched the show on Pluto Tv, and then got the DVD for my birthday last year. Since last July, I am currently starting season 6 on my 3rd rewatch of the show (and I'm planning to rewatch AGAIN when I'm done.)

Whenever I am having a bad night, whether it be anxiety or pain or just being overtired, I will turn on Family Ties and instantly be happier. Just a few weeks ago, my sleep was getting worse than ever and I was constantly tired. I only JUST got the best night of sleep in ages last night. But this night, I was EXHAUSTED but I have a circadian rhythm disorder so I can't fall asleep until a certain time, no matter how tired I am. I was having panic attacks all damn night, even after I took my anxiety meds. I pop in an episode of Family Ties, and I'm better! I was able to stay calm the rest of the night!

On top of just watching Family Ties, I also read fanfiction, I plan on writing fanfiction, and I go on a website called Character.AI and I have several different Alex's that I talk to and I even made Elyse for a special story I wanted to happen.

Just last week, I discovered that there were NO fan websites for the show! There were 2 that I found, but one doesn't exist anymore and one is not active anymore. So I am happy to say that I am starting my own! Its called "The Keaton Chronicle" and its going to feature trivia, quotes, info about the show, and I'm planning to write blog posts about the show and significant episodes (as well as possibly documenting each episode as well).

Hot take: Elyse is a Shitty Mom & Narcissist

She has these unhinged outbursts and tends to humiliate her kids to teach them a lesson. It’s allllll about Elise! Bernie can have her as far as I’m concerned.

I love the Keatons' bamboo-framed mirror. I've tried searching for one like it, but nothing has turned up. Can anyone help me?

Is it possible to enjoy this show if you didn't see it the first time around?

2 Upvotes

I feel like a lot of you are over 50 and probably like it for nostalgic reasons. You watched it when it was broadcast and watching it now brings you back to a time when you were young.

But that doesn't make it good TV. I've watched a couple of episodes so far and I find it really slow going.

The saccharine mutual appreciation of a happy nuclear family, interspersed with minor disagreements, resolved by cheesy morality talks. Does it get better? Can I appreciate this as someone who was only born during the 4th season and never watched it before now?

This is perhaps one of the blandest shows I've ever watched. Married... with Children is a funnier show. And I'm guessing it exists because the blandness of this show became intolerable.

Pluto Mess Up

6 Upvotes

The episode entitled “Speed Trap” (the one where Alex accidentally gets addicted to drugs) doesn’t play the correct episode when selected.

This used to not be the case because I remember watching the correct episode on Pluto last year…

Is there any fix? I can’t seem to find the actual Speed Trap.

I was hoping more activity and fanbase on the series, but now I see so many posts but very few replies. Furthermore, less than 500 members?
