TV show description:
This comedy TV series follows the DiMeo family, a loving and sometimes overwhelming group of unique personalities.
Maya DiMeo (Minnie Driver) is a no-nonsense and sometimes outlandish mom on a mission. She’ll do anything for her loved ones and fights injustices — both real and imagined. Her husband, Jimmy (John Ross Bowie), is a bit overwhelmed by his wife and is smarter than he believes himself to be.
Ray (Mason Cook) is their brainy middle child. Dylan (Kyla Kennedy) is their take no prisoners athletic and youngest child. JJ (Micah Fowler) is their eldest, teenage son who has cerebral palsy.
As the series begins, Maya moves the family from a middle-class neighborhood to an upscale school district. She’s searching for just the right person to give JJ his “voice.” Could the school’s groundskeeper, Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough), be the person to do that?
Episode #63, “U-N-R– UNREALISTIC”
Maya braces for JJ’s high school graduation and departure for college, but tough news from NYU changes everything. Dylan teaches Jimmy a “Dad lesson” as he gets ready for a big job interview. Kenneth pressures JJ to prepare for a grand finale to their time together, and Ray uses his class trip to Catalina to examine his bad luck in love.
First aired: April 12, 2019
What do you think? Do you like the Speechless TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season four on ABC?
I enjoy this show because I grew up with a sibling with special needs…CEREBRAL PALSY!! I grew up with thick skin, so I don’t let any comment bother me.
Please don’t cancel. Seems like Everytime I start liking a show it gets cancelled. I’m s CBS fan but shows like speechless and American housewife are swaying me
Wonderful show. Great humor & insightful twists and turns. Please renew.
Love this series and i am really hoping it is renewed for another season and sincerely believe it deserves it.
So tired of the cookie cutter comedies… i.e. Last Man Standing… This show is irreverent, breaks social norms, isn’t afraid to approach any issue, all while being very funny. This show deserves a second season!
I’m very disappointed to see that yet another liberal organization is using a very popular actor to push the agenda the last president was unable to enact – gun control, nuclear weapon control, ‘less nationalism, more multi-nationalism’. Shame on you! Our worst enemies are not Americans.
Hi we love the speechless tv show
I have 3 sons my oldest is in a wheelchair
My husband and I and our 3 sons really look forward to each episode
We hope the show lasts for many years
Thank you
Don’t cancel. Love this show
I think the program is absolutely hilarious. My own son has developmental disabilities and I can just picture him saying and doing the things that JJ does. Unfortunately my son is incapable of doing any of these things.
Do not cancel this show. I love it.
I LOVE this show! Micah Fowler is an amazing actor, love his facial expressions. The entire cast is a lot of fun to watch & are all very funny! I hope they have many seasons of success!
I love, love, love this show and look forward to watching it every week. It is so funny and I just love JJ’s attitude toward life and the people in it. Please renew it. And to all the nay-sayers if you don’t like it…….don’t watch it. Nobody is forcing you to. But those of us who do like it….keep watching!
The series was okay. Unrealistic with true disabilities…I don’t really see a need for a second season
This show broke the mold and I love it. I love how they take the serious issue of dealing with special needs and how it impacts their daily lives, the family unit, and how people (even sometimes family) can tend to take advantage even if with best intentions but turned it all on its ear and made it a comedy. People will be far more responsive to the message delivered in this manner. Beyond that, the chemistry is great although Ray is a tad bothersome. It seems like they’re trying to push for him to be the figurehead of the… Read more »
