	Author	Review
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"'The Michael J. Fox Show' is not only an enjoyable TV comedy about a likeable guy in a likeable family (...) it’s the return of a primetime icon after years away battling Parkinson’s."	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"It wants to be funny, it wants to be urbane, it wants to be human and it wants to nail every line. Where it fails miserably is in premise and character."	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'The Michael J. Fox Show' remains a pretty thin concoction, built heavily around the appeal of its leading man."	NEU
United States	Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly	"The critiques of self-serving political correctness are sharp, but when Fox swerves into more conventional family-comedy territory (...) it feels as manipulative as any sitcom"	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Very little that Mr. Fox, or anyone else, does in 'The Michael J. Fox Show' (...) will force you to laugh. Everything about his return to sitcom stardom is mild, tucked in, determined not to offend."	NEU
