The new version and re-design of the site will hopefully be available within two weeks. I am terribly sorry for the long delay!

Click here to recommend this site to a friend (Thanks -  I appreciate it!)

Welcome to the Family Ties Home Page - Winner of the Swedish TV award in the English-spoken sites category and a complete web site about the best sitcom ever, Family Ties, with Michael J. Fox, Meredith Baxter, Michael Gross, Justine Bateman, Tina Yothers, Courteney Cox, Tracy Pollan and other famous and talented actors. Here you can find lots of information about the show (probably more info than you can find anywhere else). The person responsible for this site is Daniel Hofverberg - Please feel free to e-mail me at webmaster@familyties-tv.com (other contact details can be found at the bottom of this page) if you have any questions, either regarding the site or the show itself, and I'll do my best to answer them.

Remember to sign up for the Family Ties Mailing List! Follow the link and enter a few details - It will only take 30 seconds! Also remember that you can always use the Request form to read newsletters you may have missed.

Important Note!
Due to server problems beyond my control, the Message Board is currently out of order. I have contacted the server administrator at the web host responsible for the hosting of the site, and I hope that he will fix the problems very soon. If it doesn't come back again within a few days, I will look into moving the forum to another server in order to get around the problem. I apologize for any inconveniance this may cause.

New Message Board!
The site has now switched to a new and more modern Message Board, with many improvements such as the ability to be notified of replies to posts, posting polls, attaching images, editing your posts afterwards, etc. Unfortunately, this new message board is not compatible with the old one - Therefore, I will soon (hopefully before Christmas) transfer all messages from the old message board to the new one. In the meantime, please feel free to reply to existing messages at the old board, but use the new Message Board for starting new threads. You can no longer start threads at the old message board.

New Services!
FAMILY TIES MEMORY
Have fun, improve your memory and learn more about Family Ties with this new version of the old, classic Memory. Match the character names to their photographs. Now also contains a High Score list! Requires JavaScript support to be enabled in your browser.Note: The High Score list is now cleared out and the security has improved, so that the high score now should be reasonably reliable (I had to change the old method, as some of the high score entries were not realistic, and must have been accomplished via cheating).
WORD SEARCH
Another Family Ties game - Search for the Family Ties words and names hidden in the word puzzle. Hard but fun! Requires Java support in your browser.
FAMILY TIES QUIZ
Have fun and learn more about Family Ties with this quiz. When you take the quiz, you will be asked 15 questions, randomly selected from a larger database. The quiz also contains a high score list of the top 15 results.

The Family Ties Home Page is currently available on three locations (which work as mirrors):
http://www.familyties-tv.com (US)
http://hem.passagen.se/danielho/FamilyTies (Sweden)
http://familyties.virtualave.net (US)
Their physical location is entered within brackets. The familyties-tv.com domain has replaced the earlier mirror at familyties.f2s.com, whose web host F2S shut down last year.

Thanks to:

I have a mailing list of my own since the fall of 1998, about Family Ties.

I would strongly recommend that you all sign up for the mailing list, since I sometimes send out important information about the web site to subscribers, such as news and changes to the site.

To join, just fill out the simple form below and click Subscribe. Fields marked with a (*) are required - All others are optional, although I appreciate if you could fill them all out. Sign up today!
