being home sick = watching Family Ties Season 2

Holy crap! Good stuff. Some highlights:

- Alex is the head of the prom committee and helps plan the “Civil War plantation” themed prom. Complete with a noose hanging from the gym ceiling. No fucking joke.

-Alex pretends to be a supporter of the ERA to win a girl’s heart. They go to a rally and he gets stuck for the night in jail with a bunch of rowdy feminists.

-Uncle Ned (Tom Hanks) is back from prison and comes to stay with the Keatons, but Alex finds out he’s an alcoholic when he finds him drinking a bottle of vanilla extract.
