This page contains the titles and air dates for all episodes of Family Ties. If you prefer the clean ASCII Text-version, you can find it here. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Please note that this episode guide lists the episodes in chronological order, which isnīt necessarily the same as the original airing order. Within brackets after each episode are the original air dates for NBC in the U.S. The dates are in the U.S. standard MM-DD-YYYY. As you can see, the air dates does not follow the same order as the list. As far as I can tell, this must be because NBC did not air the episodes in the same order as Paramount intended them to. The order of the episodes on this page is the same as on Paramountīs official listings (with one exception: "Double Date" and "The Graduate", see comments below). If anyone has more information about this, please e-mail me ASAP!

Don´t forget to visit the Episode Synopses page as well, with synopses for all episodes!

NOTE! The air dates listed are now updated, based on new information from Paramount. These should finally be the accurate air dates.
