Family Ties is an American television sitcom that aired on NBC for seven seasons, premiering on September 22, 1982, and concluding on May 14, 1989. The series, created by Gary David Goldberg, reflected the social shift in the United States from the cultural liberalism of the 1960s to the conservatism of the 1980s. Because of this, Young Republican Alex P. Keaton (portrayed by Michael J. Fox) develops generational strife with his ex-hippie parents, Steven and Elyse Keaton (portrayed by Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter).
The show won multiple awards, including three consecutive Emmy Awards for Michael J. Fox as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
The show first premiered on September 22, 1982 and for the first three seasons, it aired on Wednesday nights. In the show's fourth season, it started airing on Thursday nights. In 1987, for its sixth season, it was moved to Sunday nights where it stayed until the end of the series’ 7th and final season on May 14, 1989.
