Has anyone seen the Michael j fox documentary?
 
Adventures of an incurable optimist?
Has it been shown over there yet? or has anyone read his book(s)?

We got a preview the other day on tv but I can't get a full length version...

I saw that, and the show about him on Bio channel. I loved the documentary. I heard it won some award, and it deserved it, too.

One thing he said that has stuck with me.. not the things that you do wrong, but the next right thing. I can't quote him, but to that affect.

And the newspaper guy - every day is an opportunity. Not that my meds are that well monitored lol, but it's not too far from my approach.

:D


If you can't get the show yet, keep an eye on hulu.com - it could make it there, or some place like that.

i actually happen to catch it while flipping through the CHs a few weeks ago.. it was very well done.. a little sad to see him shaking and trying to fight it in some scenes but also really up lifting to see him not giving up. i wish they would show it again soon, its worth watching a few times.

We saw it and loved the whole thing. We were especially interested in how at such a high elevation his symptoms seemed to subside. When we went to the Smokey Mountains we made note to see if Jim's symptoms subsided a little while there and they did somewhat. The elevation is no where near as high obviously but enough that he noticed.

Anyone know if it's available to watch online anywhere?

Found this link, with an interview with Diane Saywer, about his book. When you are in the link, click on the video to watch the interview.

I read the book & saw the show. My favorite part was when he was golfing with Bill Murray. Both are worth it, I think!

OMG, the golfing.... that was funny.

:D

I haven't seen it. Where can I view it?

I think it was on the discovery channel. If I see it listed again i'll let you know - it's been on twice, and I bet it'll be on again. You know how that goes.

Found this, regarding schedule. I'm not sure how to interpret it, though. (Doesn't matter, we don't have cable.) Was hoping it could be viewed online.
