"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.
