Think Progress: In "The Michael J. Fox Show" and "Ironside", NBC bets big on Characters with Physical Limitations

The network is remaking Ironside, a show about a detective who uses a wheelchair after he’s shot in the line of duty that ran on NBC for eight seasons between 1967 and 1975. And it’ll be airing The Michael J. Fox show, a sitcom featuring the titular comedian, who did seven years on NBC with Family Ties, which ran from 1982 to 1989, as a news anchor who returns to work despite the way his Parkinson’s Disease, from which Fox suffers in real life. In other words, NBC is putting two shows on air that feature characters with physical limitations, moving a kind of character who’s often relegated to supporting roles—and who’s often there to illustrate the goodness of or provide moral tests to fully able-bodied characters—to the center of the frame. And from the trailers, it looks like both Ironside and The Michael J. Fox show won’t shy away from discussing their characters’ physical limitations, and other people’s reactions to them, directly.

wellingtongoose: Bipolar Sherlock

Does Sherlock have a bipolar affective disorder? Is he a manic depressive? If so, how is he treated? How does it affect his life and his relationships?

I have posted a survey inquiring about people's responses to depictions of disability. I'm interested in responses from both PWDs and CNDs.

Aimed at activists; these seem to be posted in response to an article called "An End to Self-Care". Useful and interesting.

janice_lester: meta: Give sexy actors sexy wheelchairs!

This is about wheels, (mostly) white (mostly) male characters, and how The Powers That Be on TV and film sets seem fated--whether by unpleasant design or mere privileged ignorance--to be forever Getting It Wrong. When they could be getting it oh, so right.

This post talks about media portrayals of characters who use wheelchairs. It is image heavy with some video; there aren't image descriptions for all of the images nor captions on the video.

Part one of an overview of how to write about disability in a more realistic way.

Summary:
1. Disabled characters can be at the centre of stories which aren't all about disability.
2. Disability can be part of the plot of great stories.
3. People with long-term impairments or chronic illness are not fascinated by their own condition or their own symptoms.
4. Disabled people are not all young, white, straight, affluent men.
5. Disabled people go bad for a reason.
