The Michael J. Fox Show (2013–2014)
6/10
Likable but not that funny
6 February 2014
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.
