Ronald Reagan Memorial - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

FamilyTiesGOP · 06-05-2004, 10:10 PM

I just thought it would be nice to post a Ronald Reagan memorial thread on the Family Ties board since no other show was affected by Ronald Reagan more than Family Ties:

FT was Reagan's favorite show during the 80s
Alex was basically in love with Ronald Reagan

At this point it would be nice to post moments of Family Ties that you remember that was influenced by Ronald Reagan's presidency:

I will start off:

Remember Alex's very good imitation of Reagan's voice when he is putting the elephant stuffed animal in Andy's crib?

Nice thread. Alex would be so devastated to know Ronald Reagan died today.

That's the first thought I had when I found out.

I liked when Jen (it might have been Mallory...I can't quite remember, even though I watched it about a week ago) was going through the mail and said, "Alex, the Reagans sent you a Christmas card." Alex replied something along the lines of, "That's it? I sent them a whole fruit basket." (Or whatever he said he sent them.)

Rest in peace, Ronald Reagan.

Alex also sent the Reagans matching jump-suits on their anniversary and wanted the school to close on that day. That didn't work, but he stayed home anyway.

I have done something just like Alex would do concerning Reagan that I would like to share...

I wrote my younger sister's valedictorian speech for her graduation that will take place on Friday. The quote/theme I chose were words from Ronald Reagan. Since Friday is the day of mourning and a holiday, I think this is highly approriate.

That's cool. So you have a sister that is two years younger? Just like Alex and Mallory. Mallory was two years younger than Alex.

Yep, exactly like Alex and Mallory. I'm 20 and my sis is 18.

I believe Ronald Reagan once said that Family Ties was one of his favorite shows on television.

I'm very Glad
