THE MICHAEL J. FOX SHOW
September 26, 2013  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: The premiere installment of this new Fox show (on NBC, but you know what I meant) isn’t quite up to the standards of excellence I was hoping for, given Fox’s brilliant comedic work in Family Ties and Spin City. But there’s a fine ensemble here (Breaking Bad’s Betsy Brandt, as his wife, is an especially shrewd bit of casting), and there’s nothing at all wrong with Fox. The writing just has to get a little more subtle, and funny. Before long, I expect it will do both. For a full review, see Ed Bark’s Uncle Barky’s Bytes.
