Family Ties Takes it Up a Notch,
By
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 4 (DVD)
The Season Four set has a major bonus: The Family Ties Vacation movie. This is a feature-length film. There is no laugh track, no audience, and many outdoor scenes. It's quite a change seeing the Keaton's outdoors in England. Oh, did I mention the bulk of the film is set in England?The rest of the DVD set is typical Family Ties stories about family, relationships and moral dilemmas. They took a new direction this season by giving both Alex and Mallory steady love interests with the recurring characters Ellen and Nick. This provided a rich area for exploring relationships and keeping the viewers invested, and I found myself routing for both relationships. Nick was an especially great addition to the cast as a foil for Steven, Elyse, and especially Alex. Season 4 was at the midway point of the series run, and has all the great aspects and characters that we remember. If you only buy one season of Family Ties, you couldn't go wrong with Season 4.

I have said it before about the other seasons and I know I am repeating myself, but I have to say it again. Phenomenal and number one in my books.

Possibly the Best Season Ever,
By Marie "book enthusiast" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 4 (DVD)
I'm already counting down to the release date! Season 4 of Family Ties was the Year of Alex and Ellen, and if you were a child of the '80s like me, you still know all the words to "At This Moment" by Billy Vera and the Beaters because you heard it on Family Ties in the 2-parter where Alex and Ellen met and fell in love. (The song has just GOT to be in the episodes! It's a vital part of the story!) Season 4 was also the year Mallory brought Nick home to meet her family for the first time, and the reactions of the Keatons to Nick were comedy gold. And all of the Keatons, plus Skippy, being kept awake by Alex's insomnia (and a faulty burglar alarm), with Elyse finally providing a cure for her firstborn's sleeplessness (one of my favorite ever scenes between Meredith Baxter and Michael J. Fox), is one of the best episodes of all time. This season is a must-have for every true Family Ties fan's collection!

Could be the best season.,
By ADRIENNE MILLER - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Family Ties: Season 4 (DVD)
Family Ties - The Complete Fourth Season just keeps getting better and better. I truly enjoyed every season, the acting was always on top and the storylines always dealth with real issues. Season four is stellar, we are introduced to Ellen who tutors Alex and they fall in love and in real life too. My favorite episodes include: Mr. Wrong, My Tutor, A World to the Wise Part I and II, Teacher's Pet, and Once in Love with Elyse. I highly recommend purchasing season 4, only three seasons left!

One of the best shows on TV.,

This review is from: Family Ties: Season 4 (DVD)
I grew up in the 80's and this is one of my favorite shows from back then. It's odd, a lot of shows I liked as a kid I didn't like later in life for one reason or another, but not Family Ties. It's the perfect show to watch when I want to be transported back to the 80's, if only for a brief time. My thoughts on the show have changed a bit, like when I was young I liked Michael J. Fox's portrayal of Alex the most... which makes sense because most kids did... he was kind of the star of the show. But now, I find Steven to be more interesting. He's definitely funnier to me now that I'm older.
