ABC, starts 9/21, best for tweens, teens, and parents
Minnie Driver stars as a mom who will do anything to make sure her family gets the lives they deserve in this comedy that deals with disability, sibling dynamics, and sacrifice. A solid kid crew rounds out the cast, including Micah Fowler, an actor with cerebral palsy, who plays JJ, one of TV's first nonverbal characters. JJ's lack of voice doesn't stop him from delivering some sick burns, along with the help of his unconventional aide, the always funny Cedric Yarbrough.
Also check out: Parenthood for its sensitive depiction of a character with a disability.
