Winner of multiple Emmys and other awards, ‘Family Ties’ is a comedy-drama sitcom created by Gary David Goldberg.

Fox), Mallory (Justine Bateman), second-youngest Jennifer (Tina Yothers), and the youngest Andrew. Alex is a staunch Republican trying to mold Andrew according to his conservative ways.
