Untitled Michael J. Fox Comedy - How NBC got it

Aug 28, 2012

Share on Reddit
Twelve years ago, Michael J. Fox left ABC's Spin City in order to focus on his fight with Parkinson's disease. At the time, the actor stressed that he was not "retiring," but just looking to "relieve the strain of producing and performing a weekly network series."

Now it's back to the future for the sitcom king, who once again feels up to the task — and is returning to TV in a big way. NBC, where Fox became a superstar in the 1980s as young conservative icon Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties, has given a rare 22-episode guarantee (before a lick of film is even shot) to a new sitcom based on Fox's life.

  1. I am seriously really excited for this show. I love Michael, loved Spin City and Family Ties, and this sounds pretty good!

    The only downside is that we have to wait so long for it.

  2. MJF could totally breathe life into the NBC lineup again. And I hate to say it, but the Farm is actually looking less cringeworthy with every cast member they add. I mean, Frasier did it...why not The Farm? (I really have no idea if it will do anything or just die immediately, but NBC used to have the best thursday comedy lineup and I want them to succeed again. Of course their gems Community and Parks & rec could be shown more love, but unfortunately they just don't get ratings. :( )
