Movies and TV Michael J Fox show

Super predictable. The "breaking the fourth wall" thing is way overdone.

Still, I can't stop watching it. I find it entertaining for some reason. It's a decent show.

Sorry Dude, word on the street is that it's likely to be cancelled

Good because it is horrible. It has its moments but very very very few.

I'm not going to shed any tears about it or anything.

I just don't think it's a waste of my 30 minutes to watch it.

I keep watching hoping it might get inspired but it just never really does. Same with the Crazy Ones. It just never really hits me. Has its moments just like MJF show but nothing really hilarious.

I've haven't watched either but the latter is putting up good numbers.

It kinda feels like there's one writer that comes up with the really good lines, because it seems to be every 5 minutes, one comes up.

I dunno. I thought the scene in the apartment tonight where he finds the pictures and the Parkinson's book was touching.

Really not sure why to be honest. ONe thing that really cracks me up on that show is in the opening credits. Each actor gets a standard pose for the their credit but SMG gets a glam head shot. It just doesn't fit at all.

One of these things is not like the other.

I love most of what MJF has done character-wise. Not always high art of course but always entertaining.

That said I still have yet to watch his show. Part of it I think is because it's been so long but part of it is I like my fond memories of his old characters and I'm nervous the new will take away from some of that.

That said I hope he gets more shots with more characters. He still has talent even with all the challenges, but it's probably much harder to find the 'right' role now.

One of the worst shows I've seen. And I was so excited for it. It completely sucks.

Yea, watched the Pilot and didn't laugh much. Haven't watched it since. I still have the hots for his Breaking Bad wife though.

The first two-three episodes were bad. It got a lot better after that, but I suspect most people stopped watching by that point.

We gave up on it after three episdoes. Not enough laughs and the storylines were not the great. Although I did laugh at the lady that "had not feeling in one arm or hand"
