Family Ties

Edit

Continuity

Like many sitcoms with kids, the timeline is a mess. For example, in S1, Alex is a senior in high school planning to go to college in the fall, Mallory is 15, and Jennifer is 9. When S2 starts in the fall, Alex is still a senior in high school, Mallory is still 15, and Jennifer is 11.
Alex is in his senior year in high school through Seasons 1 and 2, and in his senior year of college through Seasons 6 and 7. Mallory is in her junior year of high school through Seasons 2 and 3. Andrew was born in Season 3, but in Season 7 he is in the second grade.
Near the end of season 4, it is mentioned that Andrew is 11 months old and in the last episode of that season, Mallory graduates high school. When season 5 begins, Andrew has jumped in age a few years as he is now starting preschool but Mallory has remained the same age.

Miscellaneous

In Season 3 the explanations for Elise's absence change from bed rest to travel for several different reasons.
