The TV sitcom/drama appearances don't mean much, obviously. I didn't see Fox on the NBC Nightly News - I'd really be surprised if he was able to supress all of his symptoms at this point in the disease though. I'll look around for either clip on the web - maybe YouTube...

I will say that even in Spin City, it was obvious to me that he had it. I have trouble believing he showed no symptoms at all in those other TV shows...

It's ironic, given some of the things that have been said in the last couple of days, that my pills are working really well right now," he said

This is the nature of Parkinsons meds. It's always a balancing act, and the dosages and the drugs themselves need constant changing.

' I'd really be surprised if he was able to supress all of his symptoms at this point in the disease though. "

A poster at the blog hotair.com said this-

" A few weeks ago Michael J.
Fox was on an episode of Boston Legal. None of the tremors etc that we see in this clip showed up at all."

I agree completely- On Boston Legal , Fox looked like he was in remission or his medications and surgery were giving him great relief.
He had a romance with one of the leading ladies . His character never appeared disabled in any way- despite his terminal lung cancer.
His character on Scrubs was so hyper , that truthfully, it was hard to watch-especially knowing Fox's history.
But, again- just real hyper and fast talking, not, dyskinetic.
If Claire McCaskill had any class , she would have viewed the ad and told Fox that she would wait until he was more comfortable and they would try again.
McCaskill must have been really desperate to exploit Fox's illness in such a shabby way.
