When asked about how he conceived both the title and the content of the series, Vincent J. Russo states, "The time is always right for family. All of us can relate, in one way or another, to the real families in our series. You realize that if you change a name or a face, it could be YOU. Family Comes First? affirms that family and community are the answers. We need each other as we journey together through life."
