I honestly couldn't believe that this show got cancelled. Well, I can, because it did, and nearly every new show that I love gets cancelled after it's first or second season. But I really thought that with the presence of Michael J. Fox, that the show would continue for at least two seasons. But alas, no. I thought this show was very funny, and Michael J. Fox really did a great job.This show is about Michael, played by Michael J. Fox, duh, he is a newscaster. Throughout the show he and his family go through all sorts of adventures.Overall, I give this TV show a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox) is a TV anchor returning to the news with his disability. His family (Betsy Brandt, Juliette Goglia, Conor Romero)is lovable if somewhat chaotic with his sister Leigh (Katie Finneran) living in the downstairs apartment. His best friend Harris Green (Wendell Pierce) is his boss at the TV station.I like all the characters, but they're not that funny. They're cute most of the time, charming, and likable. They just need to write better jokes. To its credit, there wasn't a laugh track. When Katie Finneran is the closest thing to a comedian, then it's time to see that there is a problem. My favorite episode is the second one with MJF's real life wife Tracy Pollan as the upstairs neighbor. It's the only episode where I actually laughed. This was canceled after airing 15 episodes.

Maybe it's the sentimental factor that makes me really like this show or maybe it is just good comedy. Throughout this show I find myself laughing out loud and at the same time sharing Michael J. Fox's journey with Parkinson. He got dealt a bad card but he's working with it and is introducing Parkinson's disease to a world that has little understanding on the matter. Aside from the fact that Michael J. Fox is incredibly endearing the rest of the cast is also fantastic and all have their individual roles to play. The characters have been developed in a way that each one of them can carry portions of storyline.This is a show that you need to watch first to see if you like it or not. I had lowered expectations but found I really liked it and others have felt the opposite. Give it a chance though because you may be pleasantly surprised.

This show charmed me within the first two episodes! As someone with a parent who has Parkinson's Disease (my father- who was diagnosed early in life like Michael J. Fox), I was leery about the show in general. Would it be awkward? In poor taste? Just not funny? Well in my opinion it is candid, in good taste, and very funny! I have enjoyed the first four episodes and want to watch all of them as they come along. I really hope that the show airs for more than one season. Michael himself is spot on in his acting (as usual) and so is the rest of his "family" the Henrys. As you watch the show you feel sympathy for Michael but you don't feel bad for Michael. He has his supportive wife and three crazy kids (and a crazy sister-in-law to boot) to keep him busy and full of life. This is in general a family-friendly show, although it certainly has some adult humor to spice things up. I would recommend this show to any of my friends or family members.
