[dulaneyj]

is that kid who works for the principal and sells the info bill hicks?

[GialloHorror]

Family ran from the time I was 6 until I was 13. Never appreciated how hot Justine Bateman was until I got older

[LadyScorpio39]

liked the later theme song better. but this was a great show! michael fox was the best part!

[Handsome00Brilliant]

Justine said she never wore underwear on this show. :)

[DEATHM4SK]

Tina Yother's? ''I thought she was dead''

[evesdrop1982]

Ah, back in the days when liberals and conservatives could live together without ripping each other's heads off.

[SultanChase]

@evesdrop1982 Well, today's Democrats have moved to the right, and hold views similar to Alex back then, while today's Republicans have moved WAY to the right, and hold views similar to Satan.

[lctrump1]

When was this episode originally aired?

[SweetPea2288]

Michael J. Fox was the reason why I watched this show.

[BlackStallionWoman]

@SweetPea2288, mine too.

[yokeelee]

I used to watch this while on air starting in 1984 at only 4 y.o. with my Mom, Stepdad, and big sister after we had dinner. I missed all the 1980's TV Sitcoms, and TV Action Dramas.

[eyeswideopen82]

@2112murphy Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?

Reaganomics has crippled the working-class and almost eliminated the middle-class with the exception of upper-middle-class. I suppose trickle-down was meant to be taken literally. The corporations trickle money upon their employees instead of paying them a living wage. But wait, there's more. Reagan also made sure that corporations would be above the law and could pay scab wages thanks to deregulation.

*Stomps on Reagan's grave*

[MissOmgSeaTurtles]

Haha, Alex, you over-achiever you!  Ooohhhh nnnoooooo!

[Smartboy8877]

@2112murphy

Be that as it may, it was always made clear and Alex and his parents loved and respected each other regardless. Good for them!

[SpiderDude420]

i always wanted progressive hippie like the Keatons! But South Central LA was less than ideal for those.

[zeldagirl71]

poor alex how can someone sooo cute be so....nerdy lol but i ADORE michael j fox and every character he's ever played

[slmacph]

"Howie"?!? This must've been a proto-Skippy. =•)

[Smartboy8877]

@slmacph

That is a very interesting way of looking at it!

[rabbitwho]

So that's where I learned to say "Don't humour me" when I was a little kid.. I'd forgotten it long ago but now I realize i knew all these episodes off by heart.

[veneresquivel]

the one who plays alex's dad is the same actor in Tremors,right?

[angelalos]

[calistyle95]

[BlackStallionWoman]

What episode is that called?

[kennerfreak7]

i love this show. my dad showed me this and i loved it.

[Burnzy1976]

Boy this episode was funny. Alex, an avowed Republican, framed pic of Nixon next to his bed, wanting to uncover a scandal via newspaper. HA! Also, the idea of the media today trying to uncover true corruption? TOTALLY LAUGHABLE!!!

[001GenLee]

God, how i miss these great TV shows! Hollywood, ya listening or read this? THIS is TV, not that crap you've got now days, sheesh! That guy at the beginning with the glasses on sitting next to Mallory, he played in a Knight Rider episode. I remember him, he was the one with the r/c car & KITT turned it on to give morse code. The episode where his & Bonnie's plane gets hi-jacked.

[veneresquivel]

001GenLee,buddy,you watch too much tv ! but what the hey,i've added a thumbs up on your comment.have a nice day!

[liongirlfc]

@001GenLee I love today's T.V shows and the old ones as well.

[tkmjulricksen]

the door says 911 upside down

[JoshDragon18]

Was it really unusual for kids to wear ties to high school in the early 80s?

[kmg4]

Yes.

[Born2BeYourBaby]

Nobody wore ties in high school in the 80s (unless it was compulsory for uniform)

[ih8palis]

poor alex p keaton, i know how he feels being a young republican with hippies for parents, lolz!

[nsgutube]

@ih8palis LOL! Remember the hippie parents on Valley Girl too, still smokin out and running a health food store. haha

[BlackStallionWoman]

@ih8palis, same here.

[mzsandy1023]

[Smartboy8877]

@peppiecola123

[yokeelee]

@peppiecola123 Her brother Jason Bateman was a hottie back in the 80's too.

[SultanChase]

@peppiecola123 Alas, not any more.

[kmg4]

Well, now she is 60.

[Salamandra21]
