Here Are the facts :
 
1: Michael J. Fox: Was not the first choice to play Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties (1982). He was only chosen after Matthew Broderick, who was originally considered for the role, refused to have a long-term television obligation.
2: 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 (1984) 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 canceled.
3: For part of season three, Michael J Fox was given a more significant workload on the series to cover for the absence of Meredith Baxter Birney during her Maternity Leave. This was the same time Fox was filming Back To The Future and a primary reason for the show's producer's reluctance to let him do the film.
