The incredible acting abilities of Michael Gross on full display.

Alex was very lucky to have a father like Steven. I wish my father would have said one third of the things that Steven said to Alex.

[@Elisha.Milano]

Steven Keaton is my Television 📺 Dad because my "Sperm Donor" never wanted a Daughter! I have met Michael Gross and told him that and he became emotional and gave me a Hug

[@user-ko7bb5kh4i]

Top notch show.😊

[@lionoftruth969]

Steven Keaten, one of the best TV dads. Also, Jason Seaver from Growing Pains would be considered a good number 1 or 2.

[@Toyotaboy497]

Both.

[@pallavisreetambraparni6995]

Yep

[@psa921416]

Unfortunately the actor playing Seaver is, in a word, gross.

[@lionoftruth969]

This was great but after the 1 Season the focus and the star was Alex P Keaten.

[@Toyotaboy497]

Which was Michael J. Fox.

[@shermansherbert2570]

The series creator admits this and regrets not opening it up more.

[@77bluegold]

@@shermansherbert2570 no he doesn't. He offered to let Meredith Baxter go if she had a problem with Alex becoming the center. Gary Goldberg always mentioned how Michael could pull the laughs from his lines. Regardless, Michael J Fox was a team player instead of a diva which helped the show stay together

[@jenpeterson3712]

@@77bluegold so true. He didn't want any special treatment

[@AnitaMariaWhite]

That same dynamic happened with Jimmie Walker shortly after Good Times became a fan favorite for some. Jimmie's JJ persona and his "Dy-no-mite" mantra became more important than the sitcom's glimpse into public housing issues and the borderline poverty premise ...

@@AnitaMariaWhite You don't think Alex's mom was hot?

[@marcusmontgomerys2ndlogotv226]

​​@@seanmills8910I certainly did. She was not only beautiful and hot but also extremely talented and a terrific actress. She made her first regular starring alongside her late husband, who was at that time David Birney, in Bridget Loves Bernie, the highest rated show to be canceled after only 1 season due to protests. She then jumped ship to another family show, ABC's family drama Family, starring Sada Thompson and Kristy McNichol, she replaced the original actress when Family became a regular series. Speaking of which, in honor of Mother's Day this year, Antenna TV will do an all-day Mother's Day Marathon of Family Ties, featuring the best of the mother that does it all: Elyse Keaton. It'll start on May 12th at 5am ET. BTW, I have a crush on Justine Bateman, aka Mallory Keaton ever since I first watched the show a few years back, and I still do, but Elyse is now up there as my list of crushes.

[@robfromvan]

The word fascist hasn’t meant it’s true meaning since TV shows were in black and white. Since then it just means anyone you disagree with… which is how it’s used today.

They should have given better writing for everyone especially Justine Bateman. 🤔

What makes you say that?

[@lionoftruth969]

@@Toyotaboy497 because the majority of writing & show was focused on Fox. I don't blamed them, he was on all the cover of those teen beat mags. But as a young boy in the 80s I would have love to see more of Justine.
