Tune in this Sunday, February 23, 2014, to watch a special
commercial-free premier of NBC's new sitcom, Growing up Fisher, after
the Olympic closing ceremony. The show's lead character, Mel Fisher is
based on a  Carroll Center alum.

Show Summary
------------------------------------------------------------

It's not every family that's brought closer together by divorce, but
then again, the Fishers are anything but typical. Take Mel Fisher
(J.K.  Simmons, "The Closer," "Law & Order"), for example. He's
chopping down trees, showing his daughter how to drive, and playing
football with his son... except that Mel's blind. Then there's Joyce
(Jenna Elfman, "Dharma & Greg," "1600 Penn"), who is your typical
teenager - really into fashion, busy with school - but the problem is
she's Mom. That makes it difficult for her actual teenage daughter,
Katie (Ava Deluca-Verley, "Southland"), whose advice (and clothes)
Joyce is always seeking. At the center of all this is Henry (Eli
Baker), the Fishers' 11-year-old son.  Having always been his dad's
eyes and wingman, Henry is less than thrilled when his job is
outsourced to Mel's new guide dog, Elvis. While the boy is at first
reluctant to accept the changes that Elvis brings, adult Henry
(voiceover by Jason Bateman, "Arrested Development," "Identity Thief")
realizes upon reflection that his parents' split finally allowed the
Fishers to become one happy (divorced) family.

Inspired by his own life, DJ Nash ("Up All Night," "Bent") serves as
executive producer along with Bateman, Jim Garavente ("Identity
Thief") and Tucker Cawley ("Up All Night," "Everybody Loves Raymond").
"Growing Up Fisher" is a production of Universal Television and
Aggregate Films.
