I don't get it - why is this show failing? I can understand why a show starring Sean Hayes would flop - because it stars Sean Hayes! What is it about "The Michael J. Fox" show that is causing a nation of viewers to change the channel to "Two And a Half Men"?

because it really is not written well and seemes to have trouble deciding weather it wants to be a workplace sitcom like the office or an old fashioned family sitcom llike fox;s own family ties imho

I tried it for awhile, but gave up on it. Not funny, bad characters all the way around. Betsy Brandt is a highlight as well as the girl who plays the daughter, but the rest of the characters to be blunt.....sucks.

As someone else stated, I do not think they know what to do with this series, it is a family sitcom or a work sitcom. It should be one or the other. I would make it a work show, with just Betsy Brandt with no kids (and get rid of the big black guy who plays the boss co-worker guy).

Not to be a troll please, but I think MJF's condition is another hindrance to the show. He comes off like Jimmy from South Park.

I will say that I enjoyed the episode with Betsy Brandt when she wore the bikini top. Writers thank you for chat at least.
