Well but the other thing was that the disabled were discriminated against by society. As a disabled person,I didn’t understand why people were being prejudiced against me. So the last I went to a convenience store. After 1990, I wasn’t discriminated against. Now it’s the 21 century Im discovering that I got a mental disorder. Which is untreatable, it was handed down to me by my pop. But to minimize the damage. My mom divorced my pop. Then started a guy when I was 9-10 yrs old. Then they married when I was 16 yrs old.

You could tell the MJF even though he was a big star by then. Was very sad. You could see the tears in his eyes. God bless him

When a successful series comes to an end, it's not just the cast & fans affected, it's also everyone who worked on & was connected to the show. It was great, but life has to go on. I wish them all the best.

I've watched every episode so many times, but I've only watched the last 2 episodes once. I don't know if I'll ever watch the end again. I need to believe they all still live together in that house.

Me and my Mon, this was BY FAR our favorite show. She saw a lot of Alex in me. We watched this religiously, we would even turn a hockey game off or have it on a different set so we would not miss it. We loved watching it together. Sadly my Mom never got to see this, she died in Nov 1989, I was 16 and she was 47. I am now 46.

It wasn't that Elyse wasn't proud of him, she tells him she is. She just had some major mommy issues in seeing her baby boy leave home to move so far away. Alex leaving also signified the beginning of eventually all her children leaving home and Elyse who identified herself so strongly as a mother found it hard to deal with. She also was hurt and upset by the fact that Alex seemed too happy in leaving. They end up talking through their problems in the end. Alex comes to understand her mommy issues and she realizes that because of those issues she didn't see how hard it was for him to leave, and how afraid he is of taking that huge step and possibly failing.

Michael J Fox became a huge movie star after family ties. Great show. Remember it well

Im 33 from Argentina, I bought Family Ties dvds some months ago. Im watching it and I'm IN LOVE. The show is just heartwarming and i always end up feeling joyful and happy after eveey episodem I was born on the year it ended and where im from we dont get many tv shows from US (from back then i mean). First time i heard of Family Ties was this year when i stumbled with a nat geo documentary about the 80s. People in US, specifically those who lived throughout the 80s, you are the luckiest people in the world.

Very great show took me though the 80's, it started Michael j Fox off to becoming a big star

For the very last time we'd be introducing the cast of "FAMILY TIES". Courtney Cox! Scott Valentine! Marc Price! Brian Bonsall! Tina Yothers! Justine Bateman! Michael J. Fox! Michael Gross! And Meridith Baxter Birney! And our showman, Gary David Goldberg! Thanks for seven wonderful years!

OMG this show WAS the best!!! The theme song the BEST in sitcom history!!!

katrina sangineto Scott Valentine was a great asset and every girl in my high school crushed on him. Bigly! He did a damn movie with President Trump, called Lucky; & Stamos was in it too! Those were the days. IMBD.com Bee Bopper R.I.P.

I remember when NBC showed a preview of this but i never got to see it til now. Very sad scene.Thanks for posting

TV was a very one-way media while I grew up in the 80s/90s. No easy way to learn more about the actors, or to see bloopers, or the back stories unless I bought 3rd party magazines like TV Guide. I was never asked to be a Nielsen family. I was stuck having to watch commercials. I couldn't watch what I wanted, when I wanted it. And there was no comment section. So seeing this final curtain call would've been very cool.

😢😢 I only came here because I couldn’t find this ending in streaming service r syndication Thank you soooo much for posting this clip!!!

I was 13 years when this finale aired. I cried so hard! I loved this show. During the '80s I liked Growing Pains more, now as an adult of 40 I look back at such fondness for this series and it's values. It really was superior. 😭

One of the best tv series ever!

This show turned out so much better than probably anyone could’ve dreamed. There were many funny moments, of course, but one of the best was the two-part episode when Alex‘s friend dies, and he does a monologue in a psychiatrist office. I think it was called a is for Alex.

80's Rule!!! This Was One Of The Greatest Show! I Hate Goodbye's! I Hated Seeing This....

i remember seeing the final episode. i was a loyal fn and watched it every week. i remember tearing up at the end of the episode. i'm kinda tearing up now.

I was a kid when this aired, I literally lashed out and had a tantrum because I was so upset it was ending. I was sent to my room and didn't see the end. Even watching it now I'm a grown ass man crying... End of an era.

I always loved when a show would do a curtain call not too many shows do this and am glad to see when they do. I wonder what the first show to do this was

Wow. Seeing Michael J Fox getting teary eye made my eyes watery

I still remember watching the final show at my grandmother's house when I was nine.

I get all teary when I watch Michael J Fox get sad..
