not all sitcoms have the laugh track. The Crazy Ones, New Girl and Community do not.

Watched 2 episodes. It was poorly written. The actress who played his wife was terrible. Not a funny show. Expected it to be cancelled sooner actually.

I gotta agree. I’d rather pay one government employee to do nothing than get a dozen government employees for free who want to do something.

The new Fox show was promoted with the undercurrent that there was a moral obligation to watch it because he was sick, but making the best of it.

I never saw the show. Did they use the shakey cam technique?

We also don’t do the things we’re accused of doing; so oppressed individuals (women, Blacks, homos) have to create their own fake-but-accurate events to show how mean we are.

I know someone who watched the pilot before the show ever went on the air.

He laughs at stuff on TV way more often than I do, and even he said it was not funny, except for one laugh at the end. Which I didn't think was funny at all. Very mediocre.

Basing a sitcom on someone's disease, which apparently the pilot demonstrated, has a very, very short "funny" life, in my opinion. That gets old real fast.

And I liked Fox a lot in "Family Ties." He definitely has talent, or did.

2. He is a sham. He makes anti-republican commercials and interviews by not taking his medications to appear as sick as possible.

I got his signature!

Yes I mocked him, I do that because he has done what you describe on purpose and not as offense to anyone who has Parkinsons and who isn't a disingenuous jerk like he is.

[ He had early on-set Parkinson’s and listened to the wrong folks and had part of his brain removed. ]

What part did they remove? His frontal lobe?

His Talent ended in the mid 90’s with the last back to the Future film...

I didn’t know he had a show. Was it any funnier than the Gay Ellen Show?

No, I don’t think so.

Parkinson-ism involves brain cells in the Basal Ganglia. I would assume it was there...
