great show for familys
This is a great show that sends out useful messages, also even though it was made in the 80's kids will still be able to relate to it today. This is a great show for familys to watch together.

Really good, just wach it.
I think this show is really good, very funny, it always puts a smile on my face, even on my worst days. The messages are extreamly good, always showing the truth. The role models are really great, there is no one who is, per say, a 'bad' role model. There are episodes where they talk about drug or alchoal addiction, but it far from glamorizes it. If it's about drug addiction, it shows the high, where they act wierd and stuff, but then you see the devistating crash, making it impossible to want to take the drug. Same with alchoal, and teen sex and pregnancy is also not talked about like "everyone should do this, it's great!", it really looks at it for what it is. But, don't get me wrong, it gets in some genuane laughs, even with the super annoying laugh track. So, I think you should wach it, it really helps me just end the day with a smile on my face and a good felling is my heart. Very heart warming, very good acting, wach it.

Aiming for Tweens
Pretty good show. I think Alex P. Keaton (Michael J. Fox) Is a great role model but has his ups and downs. Great family TV show but you sure need to be 11+ to watch this family show

ok show
This show can be good and not. There are many shows where Alex does things that are funny yet, not good for children
