Hi,

The name is UBU. They say "Sit, UBU, Sit. Good dog". This is as a tag (ad) for the production company UBU Productions, which produced Family Ties (as well as Spin City).

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Also, be sure to visit my web site where you can find a lot of information about the show.

Although Michael is right he forgot one more word. The commercial actually says "Sit UBU sit. Good Dog. Woof!" that's it. just had to get it right. bye

Hi again,

Yes, that´s completely right. I forgot the "woof" part. But of course, it should be "Sit, UBU, Sit. Good dog. Woof!", which is said during the time the logo for UBU Productions (the executive producer Gary David Goldberg´s company) is shown at the end of the closing credits of each episode.

And by the way, where did you get the name "Michael" from (in the last message in this thread)?

Completely true. That´s where the company name UBU Productions came from.

This was revealed in the "behind-the-scenes" program Inside Family Ties, I don´t know if it has been mentioned somewhere else or not.
