I'm so happy that TV LAND aired ET's 1999 special "The Real Family Ties." I recorded it onto a digital disc and really enjoyed the rare interviews along with recent updates of the star's personal lives. I thought "Skippy" Marc Price still looked pretty much the same, as well as "Nick Moore" Scott Valentine. "Jennifer" Tina Yothers changed the most with her hairstyle, but looks just as fabulous now as she did as a blond and she seems to really be enjoying her music career with the group (Jade?) not sure if I got the name right. It was especially interesting seeing her thumb through her scrapbook of the show. Meredith Baxter is every bit as beautiful as she was when the show started (over 20 years ago). She's a great model for her line of beauty/skin products. I do have one question regarding the children of Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollen. Didn't they have another child since this special was aired in 1999? It seems I read somewhere (not long ago) that one of their children celebrates a birthday on 11/3 (which is also my b-day as well). Also, I purchased a Sculpted Aqua Vase from "Family Ties" a few weeks ago. I was told it was issued to the set of "Family ties" for use in background scenes. I purchased it from Ripeli International. It was originally acquired from the Great American Prop & Wardrobe Company buyout in January of 2001. It came with a letter of authenticity and identification tag. It's an awesome looking vase! I just wonder which scene (or scenes) it appeared in? Until' next time...
