[post_page_title]Elyse Keaton [/post_page_title]
Elyse Keaton was the old school flower child turned tv mom on Family Ties. Her contrast to the Reagan dynamic which had consumed her own children was the hilarious offset to the show’s main theme, and we truly appreciated her love for the hippie counterculture as she saw it vanishing before her eyes. Elyse wasn’t just the cool mom because of how she treated her children, she was the cool mom who had been cool all of her life! She understood the teenage experience and wanted her kids to have their very own, even if if their perceptions of a “good time” were vastly different from one another’s.
