The comedy will not return after the Olympics.
February 5, 2014
It is being reported that NBC has cancelled The Michael J. Fox Show, removing the freshman comedy's remaining episodes from its schedule. The show premiered last fall with a straight-to-series order of 22 episodes - a full season's worth - but has only aired 15 of those to this point. It is unknown whether the remaining seven episodes will ever be released.
Today's cancellation comes one week after the network pulled the plug on Sean Saves the World, another freshman comedy that shared the 9:00pm comedy hour with The Michael J. Fox Show on Thursday nights. In the time slot, episodes of Hollywood Game Night will air beginning February 27.

I'm not surprised. I didn't find him (and the cast) semi-ignoring his Parkinson's funny.

Shame, was really enjoying this show. Tarawa if you couldn't watch this show then how do you feel qualified enough to comment on it?
I'm truly sorry you lost your brother to leukaemia but the show was not based around seeing someone slowly die!! If anything it highlighted how having a disease doesn't mean you have to stop living your life!
Back to the show, for the most part the scripting was comical and the cast were excellent, yes there were times when M J Fox clearly struggled with his lines and his timing was slightly off but he was fun to watch and being surrounded by such a great cast helped.
Sad to see the show has been cancelled hope NBC air the last seven episodes.

Michael J. Fox is one of my favorite actors, but this show with Sean Saves the World need to be cancelled not because they were bad, but because of their time slots. Also with the Michael J. Fox show I couldn't watch how he transitioned from Spin City to this show and just struggle and make fun of it. It's good that he has a sense of humor, but he just needed to go. No disrespect to him, I hope he has good endeavors as a writer, but as an actor his time has come and gone. Hope he does well in future projects.

This show was stuck at the gate. I just couldn't watch this show. Sorry about his disease but I lost my brother to Leukemia. Nobody likes to see someone slowly die.
