  • "Wow, Alex is acting even weirder than USUAL." Just thought it sounded funny. ;])

  • M. J . F you are great .

  • Does anyone remember the episode where Alex had a friend who dies and has a therapy session with a psychologist? I'm trying to find it.

  • So sad that nowadays they stopped making wonderful sitcoms like these based on familys.

  • what's the blue thing that alex is playing with at 3:48

  • @richo12345678 It's called a typewriter. Before computers, you would write papers with that. If you messed up on a word while typing, you had to write it all over again.

  • @Alexthesarcastic doesn't "control+Z" work?

  • It might sound odd, but I like any sitcom episodes having to do with the issue of drugs because of the acting challenge. Mike did a great job.

  • man when i was little i used to have a crush on alex, and i wanted to be like mallory lol

  • Jenifer is my favorite character. She's so cute!

  • BAAAYYYHOOOOOO! 'm 80's Child n Proud!

  • 1 of the best sitcoms EVER. NEVER gets old.

  • Michael J Fox is sooooo cute !!

  • I remember being 7 and watching the reruns. yes in my opinion its your typical upper middle class family onlt with this show theres no snobery, and i love the humor. :) thanks for the uploads.

  • No way would any show now be as mature ( & entertaining ) as this. Family Ties was pure class, we haven't even got one, not one show like all the great feelgood and moral message stuff the 70's & 80's gave us on television anymore. TV now teaches nothing but how cool being a materialistic drunken slut is, I have wothless nieces & nephews that rave about Jersey Shore, American Idol, Gossip Girl etc :( What have we allowed faceless Corporations turn us into?

  • Michael J. Fox is so cool. He's very good :D

  • @MyNephewlsTough are you really as stupid as you sound, this show was made from 1982 - 1989. Michael J. Fox was only 20/21 when this series started.. Also he made 'Back to the Future' during this time period. Are you sure you were around in the '80's? If not then that would explain your silly statement.

  • What I don't get is that Michael J. Fox is 50. Why did they get a 50 year old guy to play a teenager on this show?

  • @MyNephewIsTough This came out in the 80s you dick weed.

  • @Emmerlii It did? I thought it came out last year.

  • MJF made this show...I mean everyone did, but he was such charisma!

  • hey......he isn't shaking

  • Loved this show. Michael J. Fox was great and I had a thing for Bateman and thought she was hot.

  • Man I used to have such a crush on Mallory :-P

  • @dreamscometrue30989

    yep, Justine Bateman sure was a hottie back then

  • @dreamscometrue30989 I had one on Ellise.

  • @dreamscometrue30989 well she is very cute. she reminds me alot about a girl i had a serious crush on in 7th grade. its the only time i have ever been in love with a girl. it was a big relief when it finally ended coz in the end it was actually more painful than wonderful.

  • im 18 and i'm in love with michael j. fox. he's 50 but i dont care.

  • Great quality... this is one of my favorite episodes because it has such a great mix of comedy and serious material. It 's really well balanced

  • why did alex not make it big in his teens ?

  • I totally have a crush on Michael J. Fox.

  • michael is cute

  • I use to have a big crush on Michael J. Fox when I was a lil kid he so cute, charming and funny guy.

    I hate the fact, he has that diease sydome. I pray their will be crued for it.

  • Can't believe this was almost 30 years ago. Jesus! Seems like yesterday when I watched Alex freak out on those speed pills.

  • His speech i played a couple of times, because i thought the last part wasn't quite right, but discovered i misunderstood it. ....... Just a little confession.

  • Great show

  • If it wasn't for Michael J. Fox, this show wouldn't have lasted a month. A MONTH.

  • @buzzclick500 yes and at first, goldberg didn't want him he wanted mathew broderick

  • @buzzclick500 True, but the core premise of the show was the tension between a couple of Liberal parents and their Conservative Capitalism loving son, the other family member were a kind of after thought .

  • @Califacience : ;])

  • @buzzclick500

    What a load of crap. This show worked because of ALL the characters and their chemistry together. One actor does not make a show.

  • @SPAZZOID100 : What did I say that provoked the acrid insult?

  • @buzzclick500

    Your comment about the show not lasting a month.

    It lasted 7 years because it was a great show, with great characters.

  • @SPAZZOID100 : Like myself, I can see that you put a lot of thought into your username. ;])

  • @buzzclick500

    Well...our usernames are not exactly relevant to what we are discussing are they?

  • @SPAZZOID100 : Any name I call myself is VERY relevant to anything I say. Anyway, it WAS a very good show. ;])

  • @buzzclick500 is that 2 months then?!!!:P

  • Note his sweet calculator watch

  • @pteromechanophobia I'm a girl and I still want one of those, =D

  • @elmo007millie If only the good things would come back from the 80's

  • wouled you do something you knew was wrong .two words water gates

  • That show made me do meth :((( Doctor told i have two months to live.

  • @Quex01 well i wonder if you got the right message, did you see the end of this eepisode. and if you have 2 months left to live, why are you sitting on youtube watching this? go complete your bucket list!

  • he may as well have just taken some no-doz! I know diet pills were different back then but it's so funny watching this =)

  • @asjabluedog They were much stronger back then, and Alex was abusing prescription medication, not over the counter meds.

  • @TheRealArtzilla yes they were too strong, strange how the more you go back the more strong or even deadly different medications could be.

  • the ironic thing is this is my favorite episode of this series, yet it came during the 2nd season when the show was still trying to build an audience. That part where the lady said he broke into the garage to clean it, ROFL

  • michael j. fox and justine bateman had SUCH great chemistry on this show. i mean i know they played brother and sister but i could have seen them playing gf/bf in something else.

  • I love this show, and this episode is one of my favorites. Michael J. Fox is phenomenal, I just love him.

  • that is so weird the writers name is Michael J. Weithorn

  • Four people are new age kids who won't ever know what good television is thanks to pedophilia galore known as Disney.

  • i love alex p keaton he is so cute

  • omg michael j fox was the hottest thing evar and thts y i watched this...

  • i miss those days ..

  • 2:05-2:08; Actually, it's a buckeye's worst enemy.

  • i wanna lick justine batemans hairy crack

  • They should do more shows like this and get rid of the reality Tv type shows

  • BOXCARS FOR DADDY!!!

  • I wanna show Malorie my balls.

  • Michael J. Fox is the best!! : )

  • Michael J Fox is such a great person. I wonder if being on this show for so long during his formative years had anything to do with shaping him into the good guy he is today.

  • this is my favorite episode...so funny.

  • It's like when Carlton took the pills from Will's locker!

  • Herbert Hoover: the lost savior indeed!

  • 80s-90s speed episodes are so ridiculous and over the top (ex: Saved By The Bell). Fuckin Regan...

  • I wonder how Justine felt about playing such an air head.

  • lovelovelovelovelove this episode! :D

  • Jennifer - Dead Weight LOL

  • I know all about that feeling of Speed.....or somewhat, like what Alex was feeling in this episode. I will Never drink a whole 5 hour energy shot again! I drank one back in the summer time, a whole one, and wow, it'll speed up your heartrate, and make ya feel like you're gonna explode! lol

  • @001GenLee hahaha done speed at the oxegen music festival in ireland(i know me being stupid and young haha)But let me tell ya mad stuff you just dont care what anybody thinks ran around the whole campsite with no jeans on with over 75.000 people camping,this vid isint even close,and i know drugs are bad just a moment of weakness on my behalf, would not normally do any drugs,just a festival without drugs is like day without sunshine hahaha!!!.anyways nothin like a power shot, soz i drunk haha

  • Mallory sure was a hottie!

  • @NitroProxio

    It is interesting that you should mentioned that right after my new friend and myself posted messages about "Gimme a Break!". My favorite hotties was always Julie from that show!

  • @Smartboy8877 Hahaha! Very ironic indeed, I will admit that Julie was definitely a hottie on that show along with Katie and Samantha. I actually started watching these shows back in the day if there was a hot girl in them then I eventually like the show itself.

  • @NitroProxio I think Ellise was thye hottie.

  • One of Michael J. Fox's breakout roles as Alex Keaton (the other one being Marty McFly). Love you Mike!

  • i LOVE Jen!

  • I just came here because I saw the mom in the Boston Airport Wed..I think the lady she was with was her significant other

  • I thought that I knew what I was doing with Ambian and Lunesta! Boy did I have to learn the hard way what I was getting into!

  • "THIS IS A SIN AGAINST CAPITALISM!!" (:

  • What? There actually was a time when TV series weren't about plugging political talking points and promoting former presidential candidates and their books? Oh me.

  • i remember watching this as a kid! this and the Vegas episode were my Favorites!

  • Had crush on Meredith.

  • Mallory has an interesting outfit- sort of like an aviators suit.

  • @1027sterling Justine Bateman actually has a single-engine pilots license.

  • They should bring shows like this back instead of showing all the garbage they like to show.

  • i grew up in canada and shows like this and the cosby show were amazing to watch, family values just dont exist in today's sitcoms the way they were projected in the 80's

  • Always loved this show!!

    70's and 80's had the best Family shows. Now they want to just get rid of all of that...it's almost gone.

    No longer do we have family values any where hardly in today's shows :(

  • @atlasshrugged2u

    One family show that I was especially fond of was "Gimme a Break!". I had the biggest crush on Julie!

  • @Smartboy8877 yeah I liked Johnathan! I thought he was so cute. yeah I missed that show :(

  • @atlasshrugged2u It is very refreshing to correspond with another "Gimme a Break!" fan out there! I think that Johnathan really lucked out when he found a wife like Julie!

  • @Smartboy8877 I'm a "Gimme a Break!" fan, too.

  • @snoops71

    Very happy to meet you!

  • @Smartboy8877 Thanks! Very happy to meet you, too :)

  • Ethics.....american TV

  • Justine Bateman was very cute

  • Justine Bateman is smoookin.

  • Greatest Episode EVER!!!! Followed By "Uncle Ned" W/Tom Hanks.

  • Love this show!

  • worts theme ever, worst casting ever

    This is the second post that I read about someone's appreciation for Meredith. I also thought that she was pretty hot! In this segment, I really enjoyed her aqua blouse! Very perky!

  • @DolceVita I watched because of Meredith.

  • @DolceVita Oh me too! :) 

  • @DolceVita I watched because of Meredith.

  • omg...i forgot how hot justine bateman is and how much I used to be like APK when I was a kid...wait....no..it's cool...I used her real name and his character name so it's not incest.... Boy I loved this show!

  • wish i could go back. i bitterly miss those days. sometimes feel the last 2 decades didn't really occur at all.

    mind you, nostalgia aint what it used to be.

  • Love the theme. So CLASSIC SMOOTH. Michael J. Fox sure is a fool! lol

  • Drink coffee McFly.

  • This is the one show that brings me back to my childhood. I loved the episode where Elise punched out Alex's obnoxious teacher. I wish there was a network that would air all the great 80s shows.

  • lol I watched the first season not long ago and was bothered that Michael Gross didnt have a beard.Season 2 is when the show really started to come up with good episodes.

  • never thought they would do something like this on this show. speed man wtf

    man i had a mad crush on Mallory when i was a kid. her face is so sexy

  • love this theme song ...the best!

  • Alex P Keaton... Funniest ever!

  • not to mention it the guy who play Marty in Back to the Future

  • dang!!! WE ARE a SPEEEED nation.GO GO economy

  • ok now your just going off subject bud

  • I heard that.

  • But of course! Aduh! ;D

  • lol XD

  • Michael J. Fox :D

  • do you also have the "ready or not"-episode? If yes, could you upload it? That would be awesome =)

  • It is one of those 80's TV show greats! More than i can say for what's on TV now days....Yuck! :(

  • Love the show, much love, much warmth!

  • so right: parkinsons, such a failure that fox is.

  • which one is the felon?...

  • @animalsbornfree, brian bonsall, who played the keaton's youngest son.  he has been arrested and convicted for DUI, domestic violence, illegal drugs, and assault.

  • @billjesusgates Actually?!

  • sorry, but fox was the only good part of this show

  • Mallory wearing a damn jumpsuit! LMFAO!

  • Comment removed

  • 4:23 Mallory is so hot

  • well duh!!!

    justine bateman was my 1st crush lol.. i was 5 at the time..

  • I love this show and I wasn't even born when it came out =)

  • I went went Tina Yothers to a taping of this show with some guys she was sponsoring from a boys home back in 89'. I was in the shelter to. I met everyone. Fox is small as hell and didn't say anything to us. He was just off of BTTF and of course he was the star of that show. Marideth was so nice and down to earth. Yeah, that show was a classic. That was my era. Cosby, Ties, who's the Boss etc. I think I'm going to cry.
