Watching him on this show again makes me realize how smart Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg were to replace Stolz with Fox, and basically redo the entire film with Fox. The film would have never been as big as it was without Fox.
He was their first choice but at first he wasn’t able to get time off from FT,when they approached him again they were able to work out an arrangement. No one else could’ve come close in playing that role,he was born for it
Apparently, they are going to release Back to the Future with Eric Stoltz at some point. They finished more than three quarters of the movie before MJF saved the film. Extra retirement income for the producers. That's ok.
Michael J Fox was so adorable in the Back To The Future Movies! He was such a delight to watch but my most favorite of him was Doc Hollywood It Was Just Something about his role in that movie that made me see him in a different light! He wasn't the same character that he always had been .More down to earth in this enjoyable movie I Wish Him Much Success With His Acting Career and with his beautiful wife Tracy
In these sitcoms, it’s usually the son who struggles in school while the daughter is a straight a student. I really like how the trope is reversed with Alex and Mallory.
I admire Michael J. Fox, he could have left the show after the success of Back to the Future to pursue a film career, but didn't he stayed with the show till the end, he's a very humble guy.
Unfortunately german tv had send only one season of Family ties.I love to hear now the original voices.And I had bought the american DVD s to watch all the other seasons.Michael J.Fox such a great actor. Noone like him
I never had a family outside of my Mom and Dad but these were made when...a family was a STILL a big thing. That concept seems to have gone away. Or did shows just start focusing on single parent type shows?
True, it's very very rare in modern shows that parents play as big a part as the youth those shows are focused on. Kind of weird really, because if we're being honest when we are young our families make up such a huge part of our lives.
Are single parent households not family... also the two days parents two children Household is on the decline.... ALSO family isn’t just blood and maybe they started to realize that
You are right. SJW Nation hates intact families, and that shows up in the shows we watch. If characters don't hit at least 2 of the many items on the SJW Nation checklist, they're considered evil racists, regardless of the meaningful and philanthropic lives they may have led. So any "cis," "hetero," "male," "white," "abled," "being a person who has a moral compass," etc (the list goes on and on regarding what is considered OK by SJW Nation)? They will cast you OFF the island, period.
THIS show was about a nuclear family - but there were plenty of kids cartoons and shows aimed at kids at this time that were definitely not. They were a freakin horror show of dead parents, evil father's, torturous mother's, and abandoned, beaten, kids living alone.
The Universe likes Alex P. Keaton for having ambition. So is John Ritter for sex humor. Little details amount to something big. Data collected. Everything from the smallest. Quirks Finding the ideal mate and how an individual respond.
Alex P. Keaton is on the Mt. Rushmore of greatest male tv comedy characters along with Archie Bunker, Al Bundy, George Jefferson and Fred G Sanford. Honorable mentions to Dan Fielding, Barney Fife and Sam Malone.
You (NEVER) get programs like this on TV anymore TV these days is going (DOWN HILL) 1980s we TV in Those days had (EVERYTHING) like (FAMILY TIES) (NIGHT RIDER) (STREET HAWK) (AUTO MAN) (THE A TEAM) (ALF) (HILL STREET BLUES) (CHIPS) (THE SUNDAY HORRORS) (BUCK ROGERS) just to na a few since 1990 most of them went off the air if (TVNZ) Brings ANY of those programs back it will be a miracle
I'm old but I dislike that done other old timers like you try to take this stance. Yeah, our times had some decent TV but you're wrong thinking it's all gone. There is even MORE great TV than in our day. Much, much, MUCH more and better TV these days. No offense, but you're just clueless.
I was literally named after this guy (creativity runs shallow as the Great Salt Lake in my parents). This is the first time I'm ever actually seeing wtf Alex P Keaton is. I guess there are worse fictional characters to be named after, and I did love Fox in most other things in the 80s and 90s so 🤷♂️
Alex would hate that certain Dems (the unintelligent ones) could possibly think that one person, one who is completely under the party's control, could change the GRAND Ol' Party. And no, I'm definitely no Trump supporter.
Alex would laugh at the idea there’s more than 2 genders and everything you disagree with is racist and yes I am Trump supporter. Sorry if you have to scream and retreat to your safe spot
@@scottcraigen630 Alex would support Biden right now. He would support the GOP again when decent people like Romney and Kasich become leaders. If the GOP even exists after the Trump era.
Shows like Andy Griffith never grow old. Looking back on Family Ties you can see all of the seams in the acting. It just isn't the same seeing it now. Ron Howard was a better actor when he was six than all three of these teens put together
Fox was made for comedy, just impeccable timing and delivery.
He sure was💗
Teenage years @@JenniScheuermann1313
@@josephtorres1406 He was actually in his 20's but his youthful looks gave him the opportunity to play younger characters.

I can't thank my mom enough for introducing me to this show. I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm obsessed with this 80s sitcom...and I don't care
Fox is a natural comedian . I bet he can go off script while cameras are rolling, and be even more funny. We love you MJF .
He acts too nervous. His nervousness makes me nervous 😓
RIP
@@ckobo84then you don't get it.
Alex smashing the cassette tape is one of my all-time favorite tv moments

Well said!
@@annalisapluma9490 it would have been ignored with stoltz
He was their first choice but at first he wasn’t able to get time off from FT,when they approached him again they were able to work out an arrangement. No one else could’ve come close in playing that role,he was born for it
When they wrote the script he was Marty. That's who they wanted from the very beginning...not Matthew Broderick for a change 😂
Apparently, they are going to release Back to the Future with Eric Stoltz at some point. They finished more than three quarters of the movie before MJF saved the film. Extra retirement income for the producers. That's ok.
I love his voice haha
Every episode is the Best of Alex P. Keaton!!

He suffers from Parkinsons. He no longer acts. Kinda sad
In these sitcoms, it’s usually the son who struggles in school while the daughter is a straight a student. I really like how the trope is reversed with Alex and Mallory.
After watching it for the 4th time and reading the comments,, I finally realised around 1:40 that he was meant to be Aussie lmao
I admire Michael J. Fox, he could have left the show after the success of Back to the Future to pursue a film career, but didn't he stayed with the show till the end, he's a very humble guy.
Typical Canadian.
❤
do you notice that Alex (Michael J. Fox) has the calculator watch on in some scenes that he wears in Back to the Future?
I mean it matches both characters. ^^ But still a great observation! 😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing actor… a legend
Love Him great actor.
Thanks.
I live in UK family ties was shown on channel 4 in the 80s me and my sister loved Alex 😘🥰😍
What a guy. I forgot how good this show was.
This was my favorite show.. still is. 💗😊
Michael was such a great actor..
And still is
@@TheFighterX4was. He no longer acts
Thanks for taking the time to make these & share them :D
Great actor

i love how conservative he his lmao
Legend!
Wow, he was a Fireball of talent--- like a teenage Jimmy stewart!!!
Two of my all-time favorites!!
@@motiongraphics2005I absolutely love Jimmy Stewart!
Love Jimmy Stewart!
@5:16 Alex smashing the tape.😂😂😂😂
MJF is one of my favorite actors, of course there is that teen wolf thing, but still. Doc Hollywood is on the top of my movie list that he did.
I was such a fan of Michael J Fox. I loved “The Secret of my Success” so much that I named my son Brantley after his character!
The part where he plays like a musical conductor to the neighbor's having sex; I laughed at that so hard in the theater that my stomach hurt.
Zack effron reminds me of a modern day mjf. Mallory was so naturally beautiful and adorable ❤❤
I Loved this show!
Watching in Sweden :)
Me too
They had a water cooler in the kitchen? I never noticed that watching this as a kid
Oh man , tbe 80s,good times!!
Loved it when he smashed the tape
All Alex had to do was record over the conversation
I think his character on the show was very s xy
People have winter clothes and have good appearence's for the winter coming up in December 2019!!!!
I never had a family outside of my Mom and Dad but these were made when...a family was a STILL a big thing. That concept seems to have gone away. Or did shows just start focusing on single parent type shows?
I'd say a bit of both.

I’m proud to say that MJF is from the same city I call home, Edmonton Alberta.
He thinks he’s her mom! 😂
Mallory was a cutie
@Berry Harbour no that was Nancy McKeon who played jo.

has anybody from the back to the future movie series been a guest star or has been on a cameo in the series family ties besides Michael j. fox?
Crispin Glover
I cant remeber what episode thoug
Michael j fox was on this show before back to the Future
Parkinson’s only 29 yo poor guy
Carrie looks like his mom.
You gotta be fun if you like Bowie & Halen
0:40
he's like a different person nowadays.. age sure does a number on us humans dont it
It's more the Parkinson's than it is the age.
Yeah Parkinson's really affected him since he was diagnosed during the 90's. He's still a respectable person too.
I think mathew perry (chandler) simply copied micheal fox
I can't believe that I liked this programme.
Shows like Andy Griffith never grow old. Looking back on Family Ties you can see all of the seams in the acting. It just isn't the same seeing it now. Ron Howard was a better actor when he was six than all three of these teens put together
The Family Ties gang is performing for an audience, whereas the Griffith gang only worked to each other.
