The Michael J. Fox Show is an American television sitcom starring Michael J. Fox, that aired on NBC from September 26, 2013, to January 23, 2014.[1][2] Fox made his regular return to television for the first time since he was on ABC's Spin City. It was his second NBC series, as he appeared on that network's sitcom Family Ties from 1982 to 1989 as Alex P. Keaton.

On February 5, 2014, NBC cancelled the series due to the 2014 Winter Olympics.[3] A representative for NBC later stated in regard to the show, "It's not cancelled. We are looking for a place on the schedule after April 3."[4] Despite this, the remaining episodes never aired in the U.S. and, on May 10, 2014, NBC officially canceled the show after one season.[5] The remaining seven episodes were aired in Australia on Nine Network from March 12 to April 23, 2014.
