"Family Ties" was intended to be a starring vehicle for Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross. As a result, the show's initial focus was more on the parents, with the kids more as background characters.

The kids, Alex in particular, quickly came to gain a more equal, and eventually greater focus, as Michael J. Fox established himself as the series break-out star. The show was modelled after producer Gary David Goldberg and wife Diane's real-life experiences as former "hippies" transitioning into suburban family life.

In her memoir "Untied: A Memoir of Family, Fame and Floundering,"Baxter talks about tension on the set of this show. She talks about how she and Gross were annoyed that Fox was getting all the attention, and their characters were basically being ignored.

At one point, in a sign of protest, they walked on the set with one leg bonded together (like they were running a three-legged race). They made a speech to everyone about how they were tied together because their characters were bland and interchangeable, one boring "uni-parent" creature. Series executive producer Gary David Goldberg ignored their protests.

The cast wanted to end the show with the entire Keaton family dying in a plane crash. They absolutely didn't want to do a reunion show in the future.

Anyone watched Top Boy?

Couple of episodes in. Liking it so far

Accidentally started watching from the 3rd series initially though because they've subsequently renamed the earlier two series Top Boy: Summerhouse on Netflix

Only watched the first ep, heard good things but the lingo meant not even the subs could help me understand what they were saying :tearsofjoy:

Just finished Mr Inbtween. Fantastic series, best Aussie thing I've seen - normally avoid Australian stuff as it normally has a 'feel' to it, which isn't a good thing typically.

Ray was a great character.

Top series, great character. Other Oz series I reckon are outstanding, no particular order. There’s lots of good ones, the below I watch over and over.

The Games
Hollow Men
Jack Irish
Utopia
Rake

I watched the original years, I think it was on Stan? Only vaguely remember it, but I liked it.

Then Netflix picked it up years later, and promoted it as being a “new show” produced by Drake.

I thought that’s weird, I swear I saw this ages ago. Must be an American version or something unrelated to the show I’d watched.

Evidently it’s a continuation. I never watched those later seasons.

Yellowstone comes back on the 11th Nov. Paramount +.
I am hearing it's the final episodes. Sad. It's one of the best series on television.

Territory appears to be Australia's version of Yellowstone.
 
Yellowstone back tommorrow. Best show on TV. I can't wait.

One of the good thing with Foxtel is the library of TV series.

Just watching Season 1 of The Bookie. Reminds me of Barry. Great show. Season 2 starting soon.

I have watched the first 4 episodes of Landman. It Is a Texas oil rig story in the Yellowstone tpe setting.

Anyone watch the finale of Yellowstone. A bit disappointing but I suppose that's how all series end. It was imho the best show during its life.

The spinoff 1923 s2 starts in Feb next year. Season 1 was good.
