Family Ties on DVD ( Dave & Gord, What Happened?)
Dave & Gord,
I was doing a search for information on when this series was preparing to be released to DVD and I came across a hit from TV Shows on DVD with a news item that was dated from 2004:
http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2211
The report reads that the show is coming soon but doesn't say when. 2 Years later and still no news. What happened guys? Was that a practical joke on behalf of TV SHows on DVD.  |

Of course it wasn't a joke. It was early information that we received, but the studio changed their plans. We never, ever post "practical jokes" on the site.

Why would they joke about something like that, because I'm one of the many many people who would love to see this series make it to dvd. It's a high demand item, I'm sure. And I can't understand why they didn't get around to releasing it. Maybe this year. I wonder what rank # it has on tvshowsondvd.com?

It was a practical joke on behalf of Paramount.

It came up as a top hit on Google and I was just wondering about this msyelf as seeing it's the only new item for this show. Gord, has there been any news from Paramount on this ntitle then? By the way, I was only kidding about the practical joke thing.  |

Nope, it hasn't come up at all. Our contacts at Paramount aren't as good as they used to be though.

Believe me, there are few people out there more disappointed than I am about Family Ties not being on DVD. If you asked me to name my faves or most wanted, I may not think of it right off, but when I first got the info (that was subsequently withdrawn), I was so excited I nearly peed my pants. I am very bitterly disappointed that this show is not out yet. I try to keep it in perspective, but that is hard for me to do.
Anytime I catch one of TVShowsOnDVD's enthusiastic supporters (and I do thank you for that support!) saying something like "those guys never give info that doesn't pan out", I correct them by pointing out the Family Ties situation as a great and prominent example of "oh, yes we do". Not our fault, but a great example of "don't believe it until you hold the package in your hands".

That's too bad guys because I've been watching a slew of Michael J Fox movies lately;
The Frighteners
Greedy
Back to the Future Trilogy
The Secret of my Success
I have to say that I'm particularly fond of Greedy right now. It's a pretty hilarious comedy film that also stars the late and great Phil Hartman. |

Michael J. Fox is a very brave and popular man; one of the few movie stars I actually considered to be cool back in the day (who else did I have to look up to back in 1985? John Cryer? Anthony Michael Hall? LOL I don't think so!)

Do you think that Michael J. Fox's recent stint on "Boston Legal" will renew interest in his past stuff, like Family Ties? Also something that needs to be put on the radar is Spin City (owned by Fox), which I am LOVING in reruns on FX.

YO!!! 
Definitely would pick this series up on DVD. I always liked the episodes where Eylse's brother came to visit.
As for Spin City, I think the fact that Alex P. Keaton was mentioned in the finale was pretty cool!
