    Indeed, it’s Gross’ winning performance that makes the hit-or-miss first season of Family Ties worth your time. His impeccably dry delivery showcases the show’s humor, to be sure, but his good-guy aura makes him truly extraordinary.

    Family Ties is the heir apparent to All in the Family. Equally relevant, it captures '80s home life better than anything else on television. [24 Sep 1982, p.B3]

    The show is strong and funny. It portrays a family that lives and loves together in a house filled with mutual respect, but without cloying sentimentality. That's unusual for television. [22 Sep 1982, p.45]
