Every Back to the Future fanatic should be upset at NBC for their decision to cancel The Michael J. Fox Show. Not only is Fox a role model and an inspiration for anyone experiencing hardship, but NBC decided to pull the show from its Thursday lineup before an episode featuring Christopher Lloyd could even air.
That's right my fellow Back to the Future fans. NBC has refused to give you the right to view an episode that would have brought Marty McFly and Doc Brown back together again. In the unaired episode, Lloyd plays the principal of the school where Mikes wife Annie works at. In canceling the series before this episode could even air, NBC has made yet another bone-headed, what-were-they-thinking idiot programming decision. I'm not saying this episode would have been the overall ratings winner the night it would have aired, but I'm pretty sure if there was a good marketing campaign targeted at us Future fanatics there would have been a pretty good increase in viewers over the previous episode.
Thanks to Netflix and digital streaming, it's more likely than in the past that we will be able to view this episode. But until then all we fans have to console ourselves with are the trilogy box set of all three movies on DVD.
