New Michael J. Fox show.
 
Anyone watch it last night? What did you think? I give it another week before it's canceled.
Laughed once during the 1st episode, not at all during the second. I thought comedy shows were suppose to be funny. This one..... not so much!

I feel the same, and the same goes for the robin Williams one.
what worked 20-30 yrs ago, doesn't still work. noticed the same facial expressions that would get a laugh on mork. the was a reason that it got cancelled. we don't find the same stuff entertaining anymore. I felt they played up the Parkinson's disease way to much. it was in everyone's line. We know he has Parkinson's, so move on with the story and drop it.

I don't like sit coms. When I was in my 20s, 30s, & 40s they were social commentaries, views of our society such as All in The Family, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Mash. Now they are all stupid and put downs of other people.

Didn't watch it. My dh was diagnosed with Parkinson's in July. Really not interested in seeing it paraded on tv.

The commercials make me cringe. Love Michael but this does not appeal to me.

Too true! I hate laugh tracks, too.

I was even disappointed in the NCIS shows. Wasn't a big fan of NCIS LA ever. Just seems all the "detective" and "cop" shows are pretty much the same. Maybe just getting tired of the tv.....

Robin Williams was ok but M.Fox was awful. TV just gets worse every year. Or I am getting old and every thing is aimed at the young now days.
I do like Person Of Interest. None of the sitcoms are anygood.
