About this show

Steven Keaton and Elyse Keaton are products of the 1960's and have become open-minded parents. To their surprise, their children have become conservative and capitalistic growing up in the 1980's. This highly successful comedy series follows this unique American family as their views on politics and life clash to give us humorous family moments.

I didn't like it when it originally aired. Saw it again a few years back and don't know why I didn't like it.
