she always looks so upset--but truth be told....I would too if I realized what I was married too even for money. No amount of money in the world would be worth that.
I don't know if he was gay. He might have been bi
other teen boys aren't really the final answer on each other's sexuality btw. Would have been a neat sequel to see where the two end up.
He was aggressive when Tai was in danger @ the mall and in the early 90's it was still common to show solidly gay men as passive/not macho.
Cher was saving herself for "Luke Perry' --who is now dead from a stroke and had two kids.
he could be bi--that was less commonly acknowledged back then.
Alex had his hobbies but he never had a catch phrase. Fox was savvy enough to become more than a catch phrase even though he had not completed high school (at the time). He was able to do more than Alex P Keaton and very successfully. it was difficult for Henry Winkler--who did have a graduate degree to do movies.
I'm half curious to see how I'll end up as a parent w my own kids.
When I was little I wanted to be JEM/Material girl era Maddona.
I think we all did. Usually I hate kids "suddenly tacked" onto TV shows which never had them before. They don't add anything and they never do usually 'revive and refresh' the series.
But this was the lone exception. She--and shannen just really worked well together on camera. It could have boosted ratings again.
it just never really recovered after shannen left the series. And it all began going downhill from there. Should have cancelled it actually. Leave us with our very happy memories
Her whole family had good genes.....her real life brother Jason is also very good looking.
That was why family ties was cool. It was pretty much real life. Steven Keaton was believable as a dad. my dad attended Janis Joplin concerts but yes he wanted to kill my first boyfriend. This was my 'all in the family'.
Growing pains is the one which is not funny. Family Ties is much funnier.
Family Ties no question. Michael J Fox has way more talent. he was able to leap from the teen magazines (which he was in back then) to lots of very memorable movies.
isn't that how it is in real life though, the dad always worried that his little girl is going to be taken away? Even the guy who thought he was 'cool' and withit. Steven Keaton still found himself wanting to kill Nick even though he had been an anti-war hippie lol!!
The irony of course is that Nick probably did much less drugs than they ever did.
Alex was a 80's conservative republican.....a nearly extinct breed today. Alex liked education, he was principally interested in money and really wasn't into lecturing people re morals/values.
His hero nixon signed EPA into law, supported affirmative action, birth control, title IX and federal rehabilitation programs to increase employment options for qualified people with disaiblities.
Alex would have issues w today's GOP. He did not want to attack immigrants...etc
They needed an 80's contrast to the 'hippie anti materialistic' mother....so they came up with the materialistic airhead daughter.
It's the inverse of all in the family--where the kids are now more conservative than the parents but everybody loves each other regardless bc they still share the same DNA. They're not 'attacking' mallory. They are showing how she is the opposite of her mom.
Mallory has some moments, she cares re her family members. She is not a total valley girl. And her dating Nick means she was actually interested in more than looks. Some of her parents teachings had gotten through after all. Steven and Elyse did not understand it, but Nick was supposed to be the 80s counterculture. Yes they had become 'square' lol
when you consider that several states underfund their social services network, how minuscule SNAP payments have become (and were) the fact that health care once ruth gives birth is threadbare and that affordable dental services for her child will not actually exist, the judge is 'nice'
People gushing about life do not actually show a child. There is a reason they show a blob of cells a fetus. They do not get into the complexities of health care bills, of class issues. Of disabilities from the class issues and/or addiction. They don't usually want to expand medicaid and/or medicare. Or fix social security.
in other words they don't deal with reality
that was kinda daring since the USA and soviet union/eastern Europe were still in the cold war--we were supposed to be enemies. teaching kids that people from different sides can be friends/lovers and work together was unique
King Friday was the boring one.
I liked her. Consider how sugary sweet and boring it would be if she was not there. Blech
This movie was an attempt to make him into a heart throb for heterosexual teen girls. But if he was palling around w Michael Jackson at the time---it was self-defeating for the movie. It did not do as well as the studio had hoped. Think they should have not tried for a sequel, apparently done to attempt a last boost with the girl's career.
The first movie was basically made bc of Maccaully Culkin--well it was. And when he did not sign onto the second, they should have not attempted this.
It was trying to make him a heart throb when he was in some kind of weird relationship with Michael Jackson at the time. Bad combo.
