Actor Michael J. Fox, who gave up the TV sitcom "Spin City" five years ago to focus his battle on Parkinson's disease, will return to ABC later this season as a guest star on the courtroom drama "Boston Legal."

Fox will play a corporate executive who suffers from lung cancer and is represented by the show's fictional law firm of Crane, Poole and Schmidt in a court case involving a promising cancer-fighting drug, ABC said. During the course of Fox's three-episode stint on the show, his character will become involved with attorney Denise Bauer, played by series regular Julie Bowen.

--It will be good to see MJF again. Um, did anyone see the show last night? Hysterical. Denny Crane should always do the closing arguments.

They all are--Candice Bergen was a genius addition.

I agree Lawren. I was so glad they brought Candice Bergen to the show--she's fantastic! A little disappointed that Monica Potter from last season is gone and now it looks like another one of the originals "tara" left last night.

I've watched the show since the beginning and thought last night wasn't one of their best. It's always good though.

I've been generally disappointed with this season, and I only caught the last 15 minutes last night. What a 15 minutes though!

I assume Monica Potter is sitting this season out due to her pregnancy.

"Denny Crane."
