Family Ties Season 3

In Season 3 Steve, Elyse and the rest of the family welcome little Andy who evens out the household's gender balance. While Elyse and Steven prepare for the new arrival, 19-year-old Alex (Michael J. Fox) starts college, 17-year-old Mallory (Justine Bateman) gets a job, and 11-year-old Jennifer (Tina Yothers) discovers boys. To Alex's surprise, college proves more difficult than expected; he learns it isn't just about memorizing facts and figures, but about thinking for yourself. Fox shines in 'Hotline Fever,' in which the usually over-confident freshman admits to fears of failure, and 'Best Man,' in which he puts aside personal misgivings to support a friend.
