> The Guide Dog Foundation (www.GuideDog.org) is thrilled to support NBC’s new comedy series “Growing Up Fisher” (www.NBC.com/Growing-Up-Fisher/), which is inspired by creator/executive producer DJ Nash’s own childhood experiences when his father trained with and received a guide dog from the Guide Dog Foundation in the early 1980s. Starring J.K. Simmons and Jenna Elfman, “Growing Up Fisher” follows 11-year-old Henry (Eli Baker) as he adjusts to his parents’ divorce and his blind father’s (Simmons) new guide dog. The “Growing Up Fisher” pilot will premiere after the Olympic Closing Ceremony on Sunday, February 23, at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC, and then will air a new episode in its normal time slot on Tuesday, February 25, at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

> “In 1981, my dad acquired his first guide dog from the Guide Dog Foundation, and she changed our lives. She changed my dad’s life for sure, but she really changed all of our lives. I went from being my dad’s human guide to having to race to keep up with him,” said Nash. “My dad lost his sight when he was 11, and until he was around 45, he navigated the world with the help of humans. Several things led him to the decision to get a guide dog, including a fellow law school student who was also blind, and him seeing someone he respected with a guide dog really made an impact on him and his decision to get a dog.”
