Sadly Over-hyped

best movie i've ever seen.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

i really wanted to love this show.. ill watch anything with Fox in it.. i still watch spin city all the time.. I'm really sad that the writers ruined this show before it ever really got started.. it was almost like there was no plan, i feel like the just said well Fox is in it so we can't fail doesn't matter what we write.. hopefully very soon some good writers will do the world a favor and put Fox back on TV..I also don't think the acting was up to par.. it's Michael J. Fox!!! you can't get a bunch of bad actors its noticeable.. his great acting makes their bad acting so much worse.. i want to see him back on TV with better actors and writers

There are some good things but what worked in Spin City, talking to the camera, being the smart man amongst crazy side kicks and other stuff, well all that is here in a different sense but it isn't really working out.It got better after episode two, but the first two didn't really sell it and the next couple of episodes are better but it didn't really grow on me. It seems like they are trying to hard, and maybe that is what ruined it for me, I watched the first five episodes, but never got hooked.I think Michael is on his way back and you really can't notice much about his Parkinson, but he really needs to do something more weird and awesome then this.

I happen to think this is a great vehicle for both MJF and cast. Each character is well developed. The combination of the acknowledgment of reality and the presence of unrealistic situations make for several levels of humor. The youngest child retaliating for the parents cleaning his room and giving things to charity, by taking random things from the house and taking them to donate without the parents knowledge was one of my favorite bits. The Thanksgiving episode with Candice Bergen and Charles Grodin was both laugh aloud funny and made you cringe with family uncomfortableness we've all experienced. The final scene between Charles Grodin and MJF was heart wrenching. I hope to see more.
