@BookReader150 I noticed on the website that announces release dates for TV shows being put on DVD saying that the last season of this to be released was back in 2009- and that was just Season 5. There are more seasons after that and it has been nearly 3 years since any have been made- so I am beginning to wonder if the studio decided not to go any farther with the releases. Sometimes that happens because the sales are considered unacceptable which prevents more releases later.
@BookReader150 I read on that website that the reason the 1960's Batman TV show was never released to DVD is because the rights are owned by more than one studio and not all of them will give permission for the episodes to be put into production. Only the theatrical film that premiered in 1966 was allowed to be released on DVD.
As I watch this show right now, we get it on cable, its amazing back then, they had no internet, mobile access. Also knowing now that Michael J Fox had Parkinson's Disease back then, they really worked it in the script to cover it up.
shouldnt the views of JUST the theme songs of these older tv shows be enough to bring them back? Not saying that there aren't good shows on TV now, there are a few...but take the "reality" off my tv and put these back on! Our kids need a learning lesson at the end of shows these days, not just if they are slutty or pigs they will get ahead.
i do not give a shit screw this era for everything bring back this best Era the great 80's ,There is not one era will every compare to the TV SHOWS, THE MOVIES,THE BEST COMMERICALS AND BEST OF ALL THE BEST MUSIC FROM THE BEST ERA FOR MUSIC THE AWSOME 80'S
I so miss the 80's, for all the great T.V. shows and music that came out of that era, one would think there should be a channel dedicated solely to the awesomeness that was the 80's.
Who was the idiot at the start of this video who painted that big red splotch onto the mother's side of the portrait? Is this the best take they could have used for a big time show? It seems to me a smaller and delicate paint brush would have worked better than some douche just splattering red paint onto a penciled in portrait. The finished portrait at the end of the video looked okay, despite the awful blue sweatshirt Justine Bateman was wearing, who wears a sweatshirt for a family portrait?
I really miss this show. Two liberal parents with a conservative son. Completely disagreed on all things politics yet they still cared for one another. Times have changed...
I love how right off the bat, the person with the paintbrush TOTALLY screws up, but then the painting looks nice at the end. That's how the 80's were!!
@tedcantu1 - "It's like I started breathing on the night we kissed, and I can't remember what I ever did before".....that not pointless, that POWERFUL!!
@georgelopezblows ......Amen, nutn like the 80s brother!! Everything was way cooler. Kids nowadays think they're hot shit with all the gadgets and crap they have now......but they just don't know what times we lived in the good old days.
@georgelopezblows OMG, that's exactly how I feel, ever since the 1990s ended it's just been nothing but bull shit, this day and age blows with a capital "B", the 80s and 90s, now that was a way to live, happier lives, awesome movies and video games and it was just so much better back then.
@georgelopezblows "...Life ended after 1999. It truly did. I encourage everyone to keep the 80's alive. We need it!"
The back half of the 90s sucked too. It was the progenitor of all the bullshit we have now. They killed all the family dramas, and replaced it with nothing but salaciousness and cynicism; and all the music started becoming cookie cutter, assembly line crap.
Back in the day their where cynical shows that weren't all goodie goodie, but we had a balance. Not any more.
@georgelopezblows if its the 80s again it wont bring back your youth..i think you are more infatuated with your youth and how you spent it rather than the time it took place...just as you are so fond of the 80s ..there are people 20-30 years old who love the 90s
I completely agree. Life in the 2000's will never have the happiness, innocence, or magic it had back in the 80s/90s. I was blessed to be an early 80's kid, and get to enjoy them. Society today is sickening... I am glad I'm not growing up right now. Love the name; georgelopezblows.... finally, someone said it!!! Lopez Tonight was the worst TV show I've ever seen... thank God they killed it.
Nice work. Click on my channel to see my 80's nostalgic collections; "80's TV Show Openings", "80's Saturday Morning Cartoons", "80's WWF Wrestling" and a "John Hughes Tribute"
@materialgirl8707 Maybe for some comedies, but come on...television is eons beyond what it was in the 80's. Show like the Sopranos, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire are leagues beyond what 80's television was capable of.
@counterCLOCKWORK "are leagues beyond what 80's television was capable of"
Bullshit. You compared comedies to dramas, not mentioning 1 current comedy.
There were great drama's in the 80s, and one of the big differences between then and now they were more real to life and gritty, that you could feel, with everyday people; not a bunch of super models pretending to be cops, with cardboard characters. There are some good dramas now, but as a percentage of total tv, they're much fewer than then
@counterCLOCKWORK You've compared network sitcoms, that are 30 mins, to cable dramas that are an hour long. Family Ties was the joint. Came on after the Cosby Show, right before Cheers then Night Court and Hill Street Blues. Those Thursday nights in the mid-to-late 80s were phenomenal.
It's nice to see so many comments saying how much they miss TV when you could at least sit down with the whole family & laugh & enjoy a show. Remember that? Gone forever unless you have the internet hooked up to the TV or stick in DVD! But why has it come to this? I'm no prude but everything now is basically souless porn. The elites are now socially engineering us through the media which they now own to be promiscuous, have no shame, no values, back stab to get ahead in life etc etc. Why???
@robhere1982 No shame, no values are what some televisionmakers and actors had in mind from the very beginning. Watch a television history show and you can see how they call them accomplishments with a smile. It's either done to make something illegal legal, fame, money, or all three. Watch the happy days reunion 2005 on youtube and hear most of them brag about how they pushed the envelope.
@rmsluimers Good point but something was 'pushing' them... the zionist owned networks? the Corporations? Probably a combination of that & a whole lot more. Family Values is being attacked now relentlessly on TV, call me crazy but I believe it ties in with the Corporate 'War on Terror' that Governments push on people now through the whores in MSM & this orchestrated Financial crisis that has no sign of ending. Eveything now is linked & nothing happens by accident. When will it end?
@robhere1982 They brag about how they influenced people. Saying "it's the elites" is not understanding the problem and supersticion. They're your family members, friends and neighbours all for their own reasons.
when i was a kid i really wanted to grow in a house like this and a family like that. years later i realized it's just a TV fantasy thats out of touch with real families lives.
when i was a kid i really wanted to grow in a house like this and a family like that. years later i realized it's just a TV fantasy thats out of touch with real families lives.
I really miss these shows - I have 90 channels on cable and really hardly nothing to watch anymore. These reality shows really are terrible, just trash compared to the quality shows of the 1960s and 1970s.
It's really quite simple, the GOV does not want American families to thrive anymore. Today's songs and shows promote equality through separation. They have tried their damndest to strip America from the Christian values it was brought up on. Religion or no religion, when you get down to the core, the majority of Church going, good hearted Christians raise their families with respect and love and most important, DISCIPLINE. Thats why we look back and wonder, what the eff happened? It's simple.
@DestroGlobe - It's nice to think that if one follows the bible that all will be good. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the bible or going to church does not dictate a persons behavior. Many 'church going' people cheat on their spouses, abuse drugs, beat their wife, etc. They may look all nice and clean on Sunday morning, but you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. The truth is that people are not willing to put up with secrets and they have come out.
I really liked the episode when the parents decided to relive their youth by smoking angel dust and the dad fought off a dozen cops before being put into a straight jacket and was taken into custody where he spent 6 months in a mental hospital. The mom had an equally bad trip when she caught hypothermia while lying naked on the roof. Maybe that was why Tina Yothers character ran away from home and was last seen living in a dumpster in Seattle.
I grew up watching TV in the 60s 70s and was a young adult in the 80s. I always thought this show was interesting because it originally was about a yuppie couple who were basically ex-hippies who had settled down, gotten jobs, and were raising a family in the traditional way. Gradually however the show increasingly became focused on the character played by Michael J. Fox. He was rebelling against his ex-hippie parents and wanted to be something like a Gordon Gecko corporate raider ala 1980's
What that can't seem to get right with a family sit-com any more is the family unity that you could feel even if the characters weren't getting along. Heck even as crude as Married with children is, they still had each others backs and there was love and unity in the family. Not sure if it was the writing or the actors. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
@spazzman90 Yeah I know what you mean. I grew up on TV back then, as I am a bit older, & back then TV shows were more family-oriented. You had these model families from way back like the Cleavers in the 1950s and Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, but of course everyone knew these portrayals were somewhat unrealistic of a real family. Later shows like All In the Family, Family Ties, etc showed more realistic families where people weren't perfect, they argued etc but the family bond was still there.
such good memories... the 80's had some great quality tv shows. not like most of the crap that's on now. And to have a minute for the opening credits...with an actual theme song that has meaning - unheard of nowadays!
Whoever wants to see seasons 6 & 7 get released needs to send an email to Paramount Home Entertainment's customer service (address can be found in the reviews of season 6 on Amazon). Tell them how bad you want it released. It is not on their upcoming release schedule, so we need to make our voices heard! Send them an email, REPOST THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. The only way this is coming out is if all the fans get together and make enough noise, so get out there and do your part!
does anyone know what seasons/episodes of Family Ties Micheal J. Fox was also enduring filming of Back to the Future? I know in the BTTF DVD commentary, he mentions that he had a grueling and demanding schedule, averaging only 4 or 5 hours of sleep a nite. I bet he looks very tired in these episodes in question.

I really miss these shows - I have 90 channels on cable and really hardly nothing to watch anymore. These reality shows really are terrible, just trash compared to the quality shows of the 1960s and 1970s.

It's really quite simple, the GOV does not want American families to thrive anymore. Today's songs and shows promote equality through separation. They have tried their damndest to strip America from the Christian values it was brought up on. Religion or no religion, when you get down to the core, the majority of Church going, good hearted Christians raise their families with respect and love and most important, DISCIPLINE. Thats why we look back and wonder, what the eff happened? It's simple.

most of the founding fathers weren't christian. and i think more were deist than christian, anyway. you're a bigoted ignoramus.

@DestroGlobe - It's nice to think that if one follows the bible that all will be good. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the bible or going to church does not dictate a persons behavior. Many 'church going' people cheat on their spouses, abuse drugs, beat their wife, etc. They may look all nice and clean on Sunday morning, but you don't know what goes on behind closed doors. The truth is that people are not willing to put up with secrets and they have come out.

I really liked the episode when the parents decided to relive their youth by smoking angel dust and the dad fought off a dozen cops before being put into a straight jacket and was taken into custody where he spent 6 months in a mental hospital. The mom had an equally bad trip when she caught hypothermia while lying naked on the roof. Maybe that was why Tina Yothers character ran away from home and was last seen living in a dumpster in Seattle.

I grew up watching TV in the 60s 70s and was a young adult in the 80s. I always thought this show was interesting because it originally was about a yuppie couple who were basically ex-hippies who had settled down, gotten jobs, and were raising a family in the traditional way. Gradually however the show increasingly became focused on the character played by Michael J. Fox. He was rebelling against his ex-hippie parents and wanted to be something like a Gordon Gecko corporate raider ala 1980's

What that can't seem to get right with a family sit-com any more is the family unity that you could feel even if the characters weren't getting along. Heck even as crude as Married with children is, they still had each others backs and there was love and unity in the family. Not sure if it was the writing or the actors. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

@spazzman90 Yeah I know what you mean. I grew up on TV back then, as I am a bit older, & back then TV shows were more family-oriented. You had these model families from way back like the Cleavers in the 1950s and Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, but of course everyone knew these portrayals were somewhat unrealistic of a real family. Later shows like All In the Family, Family Ties, etc showed more realistic families where people weren't perfect, they argued etc but the family bond was still there.

Whoever wants to see seasons 6 & 7 get released needs to send an email to Paramount Home Entertainment's customer service (address can be found in the reviews of season 6 on Amazon). Tell them how bad you want it released. It is not on their upcoming release schedule, so we need to make our voices heard! Send them an email, REPOST THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. The only way this is coming out is if all the fans get together and make enough noise, so get out there and do your part!

does anyone know what seasons/episodes of Family Ties Micheal J. Fox was also enduring filming of Back to the Future? I know in the BTTF DVD commentary, he mentions that he had a grueling and demanding schedule, averaging only 4 or 5 hours of sleep a nite. I bet he looks very tired in these episodes in question.
