NBC’s new hit comedy “Growing Up Fisher” airs tonight (3/4)! This new television series is comedic, semi-real, and might resemble an autobiography about your own family. The story follows eleven-year-old, Henry Fisher (Eli Baker), and his atypical family, his parents’ divorce, and the arrival of his blind father’s guide dog, Elvis (Peyton). If a dog named after a musical legend isn’t enough to get you hooked, you can learn more about “Growing Up Fisher” on the NBC website.
I watched the premiere episode of “Growing Up Fisher” last week and thought it was enjoyable. You get a loveable dog, an interesting but still realistic family, and some humor, so I think this show could do good things. It also stars J.K. Simmons as the dad (who is blind), which I think is great because he’s a wonderful actor.
What do you think? Are you (or will you be) watching this show?
I had the TV on that channel when the first episode aired, but I didn't really pay attention. I might try to catch it online though. I sounds funny.
I watched it and also enjoyed it, I think it has major potential
Oh, this series sounds fun! I liked Suburgatory so this series might be a hit for me. Thank you for telling us, Lauren! I'll add it to my to-watch list. 🙂
Thank you for finally creating a show like this! I have forever been interested in guide dogs, and find that so many misunderstand their purpose. Maybe this show will shed a little light on being blind / having a guide dog. Very excited for it!!
xx
I do like Simmons. Might give this a try.
I saw a bunch of previews for it during the Olympics and it looks fun, not sure if I will have time to watch it as I can't keep up on the few shows I do watch.
Sadly I won't have chance to watch this but it sounds like a great comic television series. I cannot wait to see what you think of it. Enjoy! 🙂
I've actually never heard of this one! I hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes 🙂

The concept sounds awesome, but lacrosse seasons starts this week and I feel like if I get addicted to a new show I won't have any time for homework because practice is every day until 5:30 *cries* Glad that you liked it though based on the premiere! 😀
I haven't see it yet, but it does look cute.
I didn't know about this show.
It sounds interesting and I of course love that there's a dog lol
Thanks for the reminder about this show, I would have missed it otherwise! I saw previews for it during the Olympics and thought it looked good, and I do love the lead actor.
I don't really watch 30 min sitcoms but this sounds fun.
Aw…this looks onus such a good show! I can't wait to give it a try,
I haven't heard of this one, but I'm definitely going to have to give it a try now! It sounds fantastic and hilarious!
Thanks for sharing and for putting this under my radar! 😀

Doesn't look like my type of show. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
NBC comes out with a lot of strange and unusual sitcoms every year and most of them only last a few episodes. We'll see how long this one lasts! I didn't stay up to watch it last night.
I don't typically watch tv but it does sound pretty good. I like Simmon as an actor.
Oh man, this sounds like one I would like! I hope that it's on netflix eventually!
Sounds interesting!
Oh my gosh I saw a preview for this and found it hilarious but missed the actual name of the show-thanks for an awesome reminder! Ironic!
This sounds interesting! I haven't heard of it before now, but I may check out an episode of this show eventually.
I love love TV!! I actually hadn't heard of this one (shocker) so I will be checking it out now!
I haven't heard of it! I am loving the picture, lol. Pics like that draw me into watching a show- looks like fun! I will definitely check it out!
