[nagdu] Growing Up Fisher

I liked that he stood up to it when the hotel would not let allow the dog;
however, I would have taken a slightly gentler approach before taking the
I'm-gonna-sue-you route. The way in which he responded with similar  wording
to what the man at the hotel said was funny.

The access denial was excellent! But on the whole, it just wasn't very
funny. I'm definitely for checking out the next ones; I'd say that as
blindness portrayals go, I've seen worse, but it just didn't seem very funny
to me.

watch a few more episodes, just to see where they take it.

helped nbc with consultations as well as I'm sure nfb.  So gdf could care
less if we like it or not. There will probably be gdf grads who hate it. We
all have different senses of humor.  Smile
