The main reason to watch Family Ties in 2007 is to witness a dynamic we don't see much on TV these days, between two likeable, intelligent, decent men with opposing approaches to life.
If you can look past the shoulder pads and big hair, you'll find timeless stories and positive lessons that resonate today with the same force as they did in the '80s.
Family Ties is a surgical cross section of a nation at once at war with itself and yet forced to live in close quarters, sopping with ideological kerosene, and with it's many players holding matches.
