Go To

A Short-Lived American Sitcom that follows a young boy (Eli Baker) as he deals with his parents' (J. K. Simmons and Jenna Elfman) divorce and his father's blindness and the comedic situations they find themselves in.

The show also features Ava Deluca Verley, Lance Lim, Isabela Merced, Matthew Glave, and Carla Jimenez.

It aired on NBC for one season.


Tropes for the series:

  • Character Title: Growing Up Fisher.
  • Hiding the Handicap: Mel spent decades not letting anyone outside his immediate family and friends knowing that he's blind, doing things such as memorizing the layout and contents of an art gallery beforehand so well that his date is fooled. It's not until he divorces his wife and starts living alone that he has to acknowledge his limitations and begins using a guide dog.
  • Narrator: Jason Bateman narrates the show as an Older Henry Fisher.
  • One-Word Title: Pilot.
  • Tagline: "As far as we knew, we were normal".
