 Created by Will Gluck and Sam Laybourne, and executive produced by Fox himself, The Michael J. Fox Show is Fox's first starring role since he left Spin City. Fox plays Mike Henry, a beloved former newscaster who decides to return to work five years after leaving due to his Parkinson's. The series also features Betsy Brandt (fresh off Breaking Bad) as Mike's wife Annie, Wendell Pierce (The Wire) as his boss Harris Green, Conor Romero, Juliette Goglia, and Jack Gore as his children Ian, Eve and Graham, and Katie Finneran as his sister Leigh. While some of the marketing has made this show seem rather safe, the strength of some of the cast and the fact that it's been reviewing well give me hope. The show also doesn't seem to be using Fox's affliction purely as an emotional crutch and is willing to joke about it. If you still need convincing, watch the trailer. The Michael J. Fox Show's hour-long premiere airs at 9/8c Thursday, September 26. The show airs at 9:30/8:30c every Thursday afterwards.

Zero One posted:Is this show a Pseudo-documentary now? Those confessionals have always been there, it's just that there was a narrative excuse in the pilot. They don't seem to be leaning on it too heavily though, which is good.

I cracked up at "Albino Tim" and I don't know why.
