This episode really showcased Tom's young talent. He managed to blend comedy and drama, seamlessly, without seaming fake and contrived. No wonder this guy became one of the most successful actors of all time.
The actor that portrayed Uncle Ned was a real alcoholic and never amounted to a hill of beans. He died penniless in 1987 at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
@Donvishnuesq lmao yeah sure in an alternate universe. Mr. Tom Hanks is doing just fine these days with a couple of oscars and a net worth of about $350 million
Steven and Elyse are parents first; and they won't let ANYONE, be they family or what, attack their son. Elyse is trying to reason with her brother, and it fell on deaf ears and then he lashed out at Alex! No wonder they were mad at Ned!
The only better acting performance than this one is on my youtube channel...look up Family Ties Fishballs ;)

I remember being surprised by that scene because Tom Hanks was a comedy actor to that point

Did you see Michael's fall at 2:52? He flew through the air like he was shot from a cannon. He is such an overacting midget.
