Michael J. Fox Reportedly Returning To TV

[charlietheowl]

According to lots of entertainment websites, Michael J. Fox is reportedly working with a writer from Arrested Development to create a sitcom based upon his current life for the 2013 fall season in which he would star. Apparently all the major networks are fighting over picking up the pitch, and one network is reportedly going to offer a deal that would proceed directly in production.

I think there's a lot of potential here for a really funny show if he is up to it. He's a good actor and seems to be surrounding himself with good creative people. What do you guys think?

I would watch a new Michael J. Fox series and I view very little TV. Big fan of Back to the Future and enjoyed Family Ties back in the day as well.

He's talented and smart, and this would be a fine way for him to raise awareness of others with his condition while being able to laugh at it all...honestly it sounds healthy to me, as long as he has a strong input into it. Good for him. Sure, I'd watch.

My, my that is interesting! I've always loved Michael and if this is done cleverly, it could be a hit!

NBC has picked up his show with a commitment to a full season's worth of episodes in the fall of 2013 without even seeing a pilot or anything. Looks like he's officially back.

Sweet! Smart execs. It's sure to at least get a lot of buzz, and hopefully will turn out well. Woohoo for overcoming obstacles!
