With a title like Family Ties, the Keaton clan was bound to add to their number. After Meredith Baxter Birney became pregnant during the third season, Elyse follows suit, and little Andy evens out the household's gender balance (he makes his debut in two-part episode 'Birth of a Keaton'). While Elyse and Steven (Michael Gross) prepare for the new arrival, 19-year-old Alex (Michael J. Fox) starts college, 17-year-old Mallory (Justine Bateman) gets a job, and 11-year-old Jennifer (Tina Yothers) discovers boys. To Alex's surprise, college proves more difficult than expected. In 'Little Man on Campus,' he learns it isn't just about memorizing facts and figures, but about thinking for yourself (thirtysomething's Timothy Busfield begins a recurring run as suspender-sporting classmate Doug). Fox also shines in 'Hotline Fever,' in which the usually over-confident freshman admits to fears of failure, and 'Best Man,' in which he puts aside personal misgivings to support a friend (The 4400's Billy Campbell and The O.C.'s Tate Donovan play his poker buddies). Year three also provides Bateman with opportunities to reveal her range, as in 'Auntie Up,' in which Mallory mourns a beloved relative, and 'Cold Storage,' in which she and Skippy (Marc Price) get locked in the basement.
The show's knack for welcoming Oscar contenders continues with The Accidental Tourist's Geena Davis as an incompetent nanny ('Help Wanted,' 'Karen II, Alex 0'), Mr. Saturday Night's David Paymer as an obnoxious father-to-be ('Oh, Donna,' 'Cold Storage'), and Babe's James Cromwell as John Hancock in Alex's re-imagining of the signing of the Declaration of Independence ('Philadelphia Story'). This more introspective season, which concludes with Steven reminiscing about his late father (two-parter 'Remembrances of Things Past'), comes complete with episode promos and a gag reel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: - #1 family dvd of the year!
What can anyone say about this sweet and loving family-the Keatons!! I had to purchase this dvd so my kids had something wholesome to watch instead of the trash that is on tv nowadays. It's a shame they don't make shows like this anymore-sweet, loving and full of many life lessons but how great it is that we can buy them on dvd!!
Rating: - Brings back so many memories
I Love this show. It brings back so many good memories for me. Thank you
Rating: - Wonderful season.
Family Ties - The Complete Third Season is probably the funniest season. Alex starts College, Mallory gets a job at a clothing store (fashion is her passion) and Jennifer goes boy-crazy. Elyse discovers she is pregnant, some viewers thought an unexpected pregnancy killed the show but I think it was a great idea. My favorite episodes include: The Gambler, Little Man on Campus, Hotline Fever, Cry Baby, and Cold Storage. I highly recommend this classic '80s show. Enjoy!
Rating: - The Keaton family grows larger...and so do the laughs
It would be really hard for me to pick a favorite season of Family Ties, but #3 is tough to beat. In addition to a major change (the birth of baby Andrew in the classic 2-parter in which Elyse goes into labor during a public t.v. telethon), there are so many favorite episodes/moments: Geena Davis shakes things up as a housekeeper on whom Alex develops a crush; jealous Jennifer dressing up to crash Mallory's date; Steven & Elyse regret leaving the kids alone for the weekend; Alex taking calls on a crisis hotline. . .those are just a few off the top of my head.
True, we have to wait one more season for Nick, as well as Alex's great love (and Michael J. Fox's real-life wife) Tracey Pollan. But season 3 is definitely Family Ties at the top of its game.
Rating: - ONE OF THE FEW, GREAT AMERICAN SITCOMS
Family Ties is an American television sitcom which aired on NBC for seven seasons, from 1982 to 1989. At the height of its popularity, Family Ties was #2 in the yearly Nielsen ratings, as it aired in the prized time-slot right after the top-rated Cosby Show on Thursday nights.
It starred Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton, the conservative, business-oriented son of liberal parents Elyse and Steven (Meredith Baxter-Birney and Michael Gross). Elyse was a successful architect, while Steven ran a public television station. They lived in suburban Columbus, Ohio with their children: Alex, Mallory ("Mal") (Justine Bateman) and Jennifer ("Jen") (Tina Yothers). Another child, Andrew ("Andy") (Brian Bonsall), was added later.
