Michael J. Fox to return to TV as a series regular

[ernie]

He's set to appear in a 22 episode comedy for NBC. It will be based on his life with the plot being a husband and father of three dealing with Parkinson's.

Good news that he is clearly on a good mix of medications that allows him to come back to work.

Thats pretty awesome. MJF is hilarious and I hope this focuses more on humourous ways of dealing with his illness and not as much on the sad side of things. His episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when he's trolling Larry David with his Parkinsons is one of the funniest things I think I've ever seen.

"Did you shake that pop bottle on purpose?"

"Parkinsons..."

[Flash Walken]

I think this has the potential to be hysterical.

If this is any indication:



"I'll be back in two shakes."

You mean this one? www.mtv.com/shows/teen_wolf/series.jhtml

I F'n hope not.

This may come off as insensitive, so I'll say off the top that I deal with disability issues every day, but I hope that, whatever he does, his character isn't some version of "Parkinsons Guy".

Obviously it will be addressed and included, but I hope it's a well rounded character, not a cause.

As funny as the Curb clip was, a show that's just a running string of Parkinsons jokes will get old fast.

That wolf doesn't even use his skills to be a high school basketball star. How unplausible.

[YYC in LAX]

Nice to see him give method acting a try.

In all seriousness, have always liked MJF. Still love Back to the Future.

MJF talks about his role on the Good Wife

Hope it's a good show and does well! I've always really like Michael J. Fox and wish him all the best. Just hope his show is something I can enjoy and appreciate enough to watch.

Wow, based on that clip I should watch that show.

Great stuff. Big fan of MJF, glad he is back.
