New Season, Old Episode

📺 Watching Family Ties with my family. An interesting trend I’ve noticed with 80’s TV shows – an older, finished, unaired episode is mixed in with a new season.

It’s not the first time this happened with Family Ties. But S6:E15 is so pronounced for two reasons:

  1. Jennifer – Tina Yothers’ character – goes way back in time.
  2. The Keaton’s are pretty mean.

I suspect this was sprinkled in because of #2. Or maybe it was a vacation tactic? Or maybe Michael J. Fox was working concurrently in film while doing the show and he needed the break? 😅
