LOS ANGELES (AP) – Michael J. Fox, 51, is planning a return to series TV, more
than a decade after he left to concentrate on fighting Parkinson’s disease. The
actor, who first gained fame in the 1980s sitcom "Family Ties" and later headlined
"Spin City," will star in a comedy that’s in development at Sony Pictures Television

Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, left "Spin City" in
2000 and said he intended to focus on helping find a cure for the disease. He
started a foundation, which bears his name, to fund research toward that goal.
