This is a first-generation COPY of an original 1989 script from the incredibly popular FAMILY TIES TV series. The original 78 page script features the signature of MICHAEL J. FOX from his breakout role as Alex P. Keaton. A copy is being offered here.

Fox was filming this series during the day while making Back to the Future at night. Out of loyalty to the show, Fox continued with the series despite his skyrocketing movie career. 

Set in Ohio, this 1980s sitcom revolves around two former hippies (Meredith Baxter-Birney and Michael Gross) who are now living regular lives raising their four kids -- ambitious conservative Alex (Michael J. Fox); fashion-conscious Mallory (Justine Bateman); tomboy Jennifer (Tina Yothers), and future conservative Andy (Brian Bonsall). Other memorable performances include Marc Price as nerdy neighbor Irwin "Skippy" Handelman, Scott Valentine as Mallory’s boyfriend Nick Moore, Tracy Pollan as Alex’s girlfriend Ellen Reed, and Courteney Cox as Alex’s later girlfriend.


After seven seasons, creator Gary David Goldberg decided to call it quits with the double-sized episode “Alex Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.” Alex has landed the Wall Street job of his dreams and is moving to NYC. His whole family is overjoyed for him -- well, almost.


The script’s cover has been reproduced in color and a sheet of acetate has been added to keep it looking pristine (to be honest, it looks better than the original). The script’s interior pages have been reproduced in black and white, and the backing is sturdy black card stock. This makes for a great conversation piece for your coffee table or a unique gift for the classic TV fan in your life. Great care has been taken to make this a piece that a collector will be proud to own and show off. 


Sorry, but the photos are NOT included. Let me know if this is a present and I will put the script in a gift bag.
