' I'd really be surprised if he was able to supress all of his symptoms at this point in the disease though. "
A poster at the blog hotair.com said this-
" A few weeks ago Michael J.
Fox was on an episode of Boston Legal. None of the tremors etc that we see in this clip showed up at all."
I agree completely- On Boston Legal , Fox looked like he was in remission or his medications and surgery were giving him great relief.
He had a romance with one of the leading ladies . His character never appeared disabled in any way- despite his terminal lung cancer.
His character on Scrubs was so hyper , that truthfully, it was hard to watch-especially knowing Fox's history.
But, again- just real hyper and fast talking, not, dyskinetic.
If Claire McCaskill had any class , she would have viewed the ad and told Fox that she would wait until he was more comfortable and they would try again.
McCaskill must have been really desperate to exploit Fox's illness in such a shabby way.
I could tell he had Parkinsons in Spin City. They apparently managed to shoot around his disease or cover it up somehow since that would obviously distract from the plot. Also, symptoms differ depending on what phas.e of the medications one is on. I still stand by my statement that I'd really be surprised if he was able to supress all of his symptoms at this point in the disease. Some symptoms, for a short while, perhaps. But that's about as far as medical science has gotten with Parkinson's.

Maybe I'm just sensitized, but I see all sorts of involuntary movements from Fox. Also, notice that he is never in a continuous shot for more than a few seconds at a time. I'm guessing many takes and heavy editing... I have trouble believing that anyone could watch Fox and not see something is wrong with him...
