Default What do you think is the most memorable moment, quote and episode of family ties

What do you think is the most memorable moment, quote and episode of Family Ties.? I'll go first:

Moment: Alex and Ellen kissing at the bus/train station

Quote: Steven: "Parents are conditioned to accept a few mishaps. A broken vase, some spilled milk on the floor... There was a kangaroo in my living room."
Alex: "It was just here for the party."
Steven:"Then I guess I'm just overreacting."

Episode:"The Fugitive" (the one with Tom Hanks) Pt1&2

Please reply...

I really like them. I'm so lame I know. I did read the transcript thanks. One of my favorite parts of that episode is the simulated driving test that Steven gives Jennifer in the kitchen, that scene always cracks me up. Of course the other parts of the episode I really like are the Mal/Skip moments.

Oh what did you think of it? It was really hard transcribing that scene because there was so much physical humour. I need someone's honest opinion.

I think you did really well transcribing it. I"m not sure I could have done that well.

Yeah, you did a great job. I remember that ep - them sitting in the chairs as if they were in a car and making everyone do up their "seatbelts" and then Jen taking a hard corner!!!

I think my favourites were when Alex and Ellen were breaking up and that song playing.....gets me every time!!

Also, when Skippy and Mallory are locked in the basement and put the chipmunk costumes on to keep warm. I laugh out loud every time that airs!

That's one of my favorite episodes, Cold Storage. It's a funny episode.

LOL! I love that ep! One of the best things about Family Ties is all the physical humour.

One of the funniest quotes -

Steven to Alex: "You lost Jennifer in a card game?"

I just watched that ep last night on tape, so that one's fresh in my mind.

I love FT so much that no episodes stand out. They are all great. I remember the one when Alex's friend died, and he was talking to him in a dream. Very intense.

My favorite moments are probably when Alex and Steven got off good lines. They both had the best expressions. I like any joke that recalls Alex as a baby with his Nixon rattle and other right wing actions.
