Fanbase Press is proud to announce that the Quality Time with Family Ties (QTWFT) podcast will return for its seventh and final season on Thursday, April 19, 2018!
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 nearly 150 episodes in its run, QTWFT’s seventh season guarantees to encapsulate not only the best of Family Ties, but the best of the podcast’s political and creative analysis. Leading to the the Keatons’ final curtain call, Family Ties: Season 7 will see Steven’s heart attack scare, racism surfacing in the neighborhood, and Alex’s new career opportunity in New York City.
“I couldn’t be prouder of Corey and Scott for taking part in this epic nostalgia-thon,” says co-host Pakler. “We’re so very thankful for every one of our listeners and the amazing people we’ve met along the way. We’d like to thank Barbra, Bryant, Parry, and Sean for their hard work on the show – and especially Barbra and Bryant for helping us make this podcast a reality. We’ve spent three years with the Keatons. What will we do, baby, without them?”
The Season 7 premiere of Quality Time with Family Ties will be released on Thursday, April 19, 2018, on the Fanbase Press website (www.fanbasepress.com) and through Libsyn and iTunes. Subsequent episodes will air every Thursday.
