Michael J. Fox Returning To TV

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•34 • Aug 23, 2012

Former Family Ties and Spin City star Michael J. Fox, who left television 12 years ago to focus on combating Parkinson’s disease, will appear next fall in a loosely autobiographical sitcom in which he plays a New York father struggling with the same neurodegenerative disorder. What do you think?

  • “He’s dealt with his condition so well, I have a problem seeing him as a convincing Parkinson’s patient. Frankly, I’m not sure he can pull it off.”

    Everett Rosner –
    Medical Radiation Dosimetrist

  • “Ugh. I don’t have a neurodegenerative disorder! When’s someone finally gonna tell my story?”

    Teresa Hester –
    Mail Carrier

  • “I don’t know. After 12 years out of the game, do you think he’s ready to handle the intricate plotting and multifaceted characterizations of today’s sitcom landscape?”

    Giovanni Di Meo –
    Barrel Repairer
