"Family Ties" celebrated the 40th anniversary of its television debut on Thursday and two of its stars, Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter, spoke with Fox News Digital about the show’s lasting legacy and what it was like making the show. The show introduced audiences to the Keaton family, with liberal former hippies Elyse and Steven as the heads of the household, along with their three children. Alex, played by Michael J Fox, was a conservative ready to take over American politics, and his two sisters Mallory and Jennifer were played by Justine Batemen and Tina Yothers.
