That is awesome news!!! He has been off our screens for too long! But how will he control his condition? Will there be alot of hands in pockets like Spin City?
The Michael Jay Fox Burger

LOVE michael j. fox!
oooo yay!!! loves him. soo excited
I'm so glad to hear he is coming back. I love MJ's acting chops, he is not only a great actor, but also a great person. He's considerate and kind, very easy to like.
It's funny to me that everyone that reads your site is perfect. I mean for them commenting a hundred times on what a dumbass you are, must mean they have never had a typo or a mistake in their lives! What a perfect bunch of kids on here!
Come on why are AMERICAN'S like this? Why do they feel it necessary to constantly put people down and name call? Why? Does it make you feel better about yourself? It's no wonder that we are rude to American's. We are just trying to show them they are not the "Hot Shit" they think they are! How does it feel to have someone judge you for a change? Doesn't feel good does it? THINK ABOUT IT!

BLAH! I HATE HIM! HE IS SUCH AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE DISEASE OR NOT.
I HAD TO WORK WITH HIM AND HE IS A PRICK.

P.S

Go for it! This show is great & different & we all miss M.J. Fox. Come on Fox, show us you still have it. What a grand idea!
Omg, that would be fab to see MJF on telly! We sure could get more people with disabilities in normal casting situations, but b/c they have a disability but b/c they're fab actors whether they have a disability! No more "normal" actors playing characters with disabilities.
Re: all t – When it comes down to the wire, Americans are always cool & forgiving. Yes, we are petty & small on the surface ONLY. We are the most forgiving nation of people on this entire planet, along with the Dutch. How do you think people like Robert Downey would be allowed to have a comeback? We give everyone a chance. Regardless of race or state or background, Americans all own this common denominator. If you travel to other countries abroad & you see other Americans in Asia, Europe or Africa, there is a special understanding, even between people who are different races. God Bless Americans.
They also live near each other in Connecticut. They both don't live far from where I live in Western CT. Kevin Bacon lives over here too.
Re: FRAK – you are evil and I love it!

oh, I'm sorry I ment to put Dumb Ass. It's Michael J. Fox!!!!
when was the last time you look in the MIRROR I find it kinda of weird that you love to comment on everyone from looks, style to what ever and then we have you over weight, hairstyle, well lets not even go there, style, well I can only guess that your getting your inside style tips from none other then yourself. And we have to watch and listen to you talk about that stupid dog of yours. It seems to me that a 30 year old (maybe a little older then that) would have something better to do then pick about people who have work hard to get where they are. And once again we have you the starbucks Queen, which by the way, you really need to come out and tell the whole world what we know we know already, YOUR A QUEEN. What a sad little boy, who had no friends growning up and by way you still dont have any. Get a life and grow the F— up. In two years you will be washed up and eveyone you shit on will tell you to F— off. Leave Drew alone!!!! I'm sure you've been F— over a few times, but then again who would have you!!
Re: Told –
Thank you. You have proved me wrong. You have shown there is kindness within your country. I apologize. I may have misjudged your country. It just saddens me the shallowness has a spot light shown on it. Outsiders view that as a huge weakness. It appears many in my country value family, friends, not possessions or our beauty. We find kindness, and a huge heart makes you attractive. To focus that much energy on the outer appearance seems weak to other countries. That is what has upset. After your comment, of setting the record straight without name calling, and bashing me shows me a side of America that I haven't seen before. With that, I apologize!
ok yall i think he gets that its michael j fox
its ok
hes aged a lot. not a flattering photo of him at all
I worked with him as well. I was younger then, a bit green. I thought he just acted that way because he was so much more experienced than I was. I figured if I worked with him now that I am seasoned he would be different. So when I read your comment TT I had to wonder… would if be different now? Since he hasn't worked in a while, and has had a lot of medical issues, do you think he would be softer? I remember the diva fits! WOW that was my first real experience in this town! I quickly learned what not to do! I just never had the guts to speak out, because of how ill he has become.
Re: tone –
His condition is pretty severe right now. I am wishing him all the best! its nice to see him back in action!
he is really funny and his interviews are great. Go MJF!
Re: all t –
"Come on why are AMERICAN'S like this? Why do they feel it necessary to constantly put people down and name call?"
Wow, that's such a generalization! I don't put people down and I teach my children to always be kind and generous. My family and friends are my world and I know a majority of people feel the same way. It's sad to know that you and others would be rude to me JUST because I'm an American
This is great news! I'm glad to hear that MJF wants to get in front of the camera. I hope he's doing well. I love Rescue Me.
July 15th real hiphop is back check www.nasindependenceday.com/
Ok, ok. The man made a type o. Cut him some slack. Thank goodness the mistakes we make dont get pointed out to us like this.
Anyway - Way to go Fox - he is the best!
Re: all t –

Re: K-10 –
Fuck your family and friends, bitch! Don't ever talk back to your superiors. You need to learn your place, cunt!
they didnt even do an apology saying they messed upo his name how rude
I had SUCH a crush on MJF when I was younger. Loved him in Scrubs too xx
I love LOVE Michael J. Fox!
Re: Sally – Re: Sally –
Are you 12? Do you do knock knock jokes too?
Marty Mcfly rocks……. love Michael J fox.. (in a plutonic way of course)
Ok, his real name is Michal A. Fox, but got rid of the A in favor of the J when his career started cause the real seemed to open for jokes, right.
As for coming back to TV, please don't . . I love him , but am uneasy and unable to watch him because of his degenerative illness. I would like to remember him from 10 or so years ago when he was in controll of his body. Certainly he doesn't need the money does he?
His wife comes from money and they don't seem to live an extravigant lifestyle so money should not be a problem.
Michael I love you, but please don't do it.
He's an amazing man - I would love to see him do this!
YES!!! i absolutely LOVE him!
Rescue me is the best show on TV
Get a life Perez. You don't know facts about anyone. You can't spell there names. You put people down that you don't know. Find a woman…
