      My weird thing about Family Ties is that the show looks and feels much older than Growing Pains despite the shows being pretty much the same age, and also that the central gimmick of the show is completely lost on you if you only know it from watching reruns and it feels generic

      Growing Pains was three years ahead of Family Ties -- Family Ties ran 1982-89, Growing Pains was 1985-92

      Growing Pains has, imo, a more dynamic/frenetic energy (and louder theme song) that makes it feel more modern than Family Ties, like I knew as a kid that the latter was a "finished" show but I wasn't at all sure about the former

      Yeah I think Growing Pains was a show where you could watch the evolution from '80s to '90s TV sensibilities happening in real time

      The energy you're talking about is definitely why Growing Pains is the one the Disney Channel picked up to rerun all the time in the '90s

      It's ironic because Kirk Cameron was IRL the exact kind of little shit Michael J Fox was pretending to be

      There was this puff piece that came out in 2008 where the creator of Family Ties, Gary David Goldberg, said he thought that Alex P. Keaton would be an Obama crossover voter (an "Obamican") Arguing that Alex was misguided not evil and would've felt out of place in the modern GOP

      Michael J. Fox, notably, disagreed and gave a simple quote that Alex would probably vote McCain/Palin because "he's an asshole"

      I think Fox disliked Keaton more than the writers did because he had to deal with people mistaking him for the character all the time for a while Also becoming disabled and having Limbaugh mock his disability may have hardened him against "compassionate conservatism"

          But either way, I mean, it's hard to imagine Alex getting excited about the idea of President Sarah Palin He might still have gone along with it, because he's an asshole, but he's no fundie

          That's the whole issue, like his whole character shtick is being wrapped up in the idea that he's rational, he's pragmatic, his politics are an expression of enlightened self-interest, and his parents' politics are bleeding-heart emotion-driven shallow sappiness

          Fox has always been a pretty outspoken liberal even before his diagnosis so I think he just detested the character (I’m sure being associated with him early in his career didn’t help). Though by the time I saw the show in the early 90s I already knew him as Marty.

          He’s actually really lucky/smart to have nailed such an iconic seminal era-defining role like Marty McFly right in the middle of playing this other much less likable character, it didn’t really define him at all in the end.
