Michael J. Fox is heading to his old stomping grounds, NBC. The network ordered a full season episodic pickup (22 episodes) winning the bidding war. That hasn’t happened in years!!! The show will be shot in NY, which is also rare, but it looks like NBC is bending over backward for good ol’ Michael. The single-camera comedy will be loosely based on his life where he’ll be playing a husband, and a father of three dealing with family, career and Parkinson’s Disease. NBC chairman, Bob Greenblatt (aka Sharon Osbourne’s bestie) said, “From the moment we met with Michael to hear his unique point of view about this new show, we were completely captivated and on board. He is utterly relatable, optimistic, and in a class by himself, and I have no doubt that the character he will create – and the vivid family characters surrounding him – will be both instantly recognizable and hilarious.”

I love Michael J. Fox, and can’t think of anyone more deserving of this straight to series pickup! If this show takes off, this could be the break that NBC needs for their programming. And as a viewer, I’ll be championing Michael J. Fox all the way! I’m super stoked! Michael J. Fox for President! Oh, um, I mean, I can’t wait until it’s fall 2013 premiere.
