Family Ties - The Seventh and Final Season DVD Review - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Family Ties - The Seventh and Final Season is the emotional conclusion to one of America's most beloved 1980s sitcoms. In this season, the Keatons' world is turned upside down when Steven (Michael Gross) suffers a heart attack and has to undergo open-heart surgery. Mom Elyse's (Meredith Baxter Birney) strength keeps her family rock steady, but she struggles with her children growing up and moving on. While Jennifer (Tina Yothers) learns to drive and rallies the troops to save the environment, Mallory (Justine Bateman) gets her big break in the world of fashion design and Andy (Brian Bonsall) creates a time capsule that sends the family down memory lane. Finally, the family and girlfriend Lauren (Courteney Cox) say goodbye to Alex (Emmy winner Michael J. Fox) as he moves to NYC to pursue a career on Wall Street. As this iconic TV series comes to a close in a 24-episdoe, 4-disc collection, families everywhere can relive their favorite heartwarming and laugh-filled moments with the one-and-only Keaton family.

Yay! Good review! I'm so glad to finally see Family Ties complete on DVD! Now to just purchase a copy of Season 7 on DVD- I'm excited to get it, but waiting until I have the money to afford it.

I just finished watching the dvd set.

I think the season 7 set was put together before Gary David Goldberg passed away. It would have been nice to see at the very end "in memory of David Gary Goldberg."

It was great seeing the series finale uncut for the first time since 1989.
