Family (1976-1980)

 






The Lawrence Family lives in a beautiful home in beautiful Pasadena, California.  But under that veneer of beauty, they endure problems that plague many families including alcoholism, cancer and infidelity.  Family was a hit with critics and received several Emmy nominations and wins.  Among the cast were a pre-Family Ties (1982-1989) Meredith Baxter Birney and a pre-Empty Nest (1988-1995) Kristy McNichol in addition to James Broderick, father of Matthew Broderick.




Location: The Lawrence House
Address: 1230 Milan Avenue, South Pasadena, CA













The Family house was kept in the family.  Six years after the show went off the air, Matthew Broderick bounced off a backyard trampoline in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986).  This was also Ellie Sattler's house in Jurassic Park III (2001).
