Fanbase Press is proud to announce that the Quality Time with Family Ties (QTWFT) podcast will return for its fifth season on Thursday, January 26, 2017!
Launched in March of 2015, Quality Time with Family Ties is a weekly podcast during which “three guys” watch and review every episode of Family Ties – the ‘80s sitcom that made Michael J. Fox a star. Led by co-hosts Scott Jones, Paul Pakler, and Corey Pepper, each hour-long podcast analyzes a Family Ties episode – its political/cultural relevance to the period during which it aired; the careers of guest stars; the symbolism of orange juice; and more.
Having amassed more than 80 episodes in its run, QTWFT’s fifth season promises to have even more Keaton family hijinks, as Alex lands his dream job (and a troublesome boss), Mallory and Nick may be headed to the altar, and Andy starts pre-school.
“I can’t believe we’re in the back half of the show,” says co-host Paul Pakler. “Time really flew by. Season 4 was…surprising. I have hope for Season 5, though. That’s what I’m supposed to say, right?”
The Season 5 premiere of Quality Time with Family Ties will be released on Thursday, January 26, 2017, on the Fanbase Press website (www.fanbasepress.com) and through Libsyn and iTunes. Subsequent episodes will air every Thursday.
