The Michael J Fox Show Gets CANCELLED

The outlook is not good for The Michael J. Fox Show. NBC has pulled the remaining episodes of the Thursday sitcom from its lineup, effectively canceling the struggling comedy just a few weeks after shutting down production on time slot neighbor Sean Saves the World.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the show will be replaced by Hollywood Game Night starting Feb. 27, as first reported by Vulture. The one-hour show will air at 9 p.m.

Fifteen of The Michael J. Fox Show's 22-episode order have aired on Thursdays. Production has wrapped on all 22 episodes, with NBC unclear where -- or if -- the remaining seven episodes will be broadcast.

NBC picked up the Michael J. Fox Show with a straight to series order for 22 episodes following a multiple network bidding war in August 2012. It marked the Family Ties, Spin City and Back to the Future alum's return to series television following his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease.
