Michael J. Fox Returns to Television

Michael J. Fox is returning to TV.

Michael J. Fox is headed back to his original TV network home for his new comedy.

The five-time Emmy winner's new family comedy project has been ordered straight to series by NBC, the same network which aired Family Ties three decades ago.

"To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again," NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a statement.

It's Fox's first TV starring role since he left Spin City in 2000.

There is no title for the series as of yet, but Fox will play a husband and father of three living in New York City who deals with many challenges - including Parkinson's.
