May 14, 1989 –

We say goodby to the Keaton family when NBC TV aired the last episode of Family Ties, Alex doesn’t Live Here Anymore on this date.
The show was a long-time staple of NBC’s “Must See TV” Thursday night line-up. After season five, the show moved from Thursday night following The Cosby Show to Sunday night. The show dropped from second place in the ratings to number seventeen due to the move. The ratings declined even further in season seven, and the show was cancelled.
