I live in the UK, and have only seen about a dozen "Family Ties" episodes from trips to America to visit relatives, so I don't know anyone who even knows what "Family Ties" is, let alone watches it. So I was just wondering: in your opinion, do you think "Family Ties" would be more popular with girls than with boys? For some reason, I assumed that more girls would like it than boys...I'm sure many boys do like it, but I just got the impression that it would maybe be slightly more popular with girls.

Any thoughts?

I don't think the show would be more popular with girls than boys. But, I'm a girl, so how can I know for sure? The show still has good jokes in it that anyone can find funny and laugh at so I don't think it would have to be a popular show for just one gender. Just my opinion.

I think the show was popular with both boys and girls/men and women in its day. But I suspect that the show might have slightly more appeal to girls(and gay guys), who find Michael J. Fox adorable and appreciate the show's presentation of family relationships and conflict in a gentle but hilarious manner.

I think more females may watch the show nowadays because in today's standards, it may be considered "corny," and males tend to stay away from "corny" things... if that makes sense.

yeah, it is a bit girly :D but i like it
