Absolutely my favorite rehab show! I have been wondering why this past season has been an armchair reflection of past episodes. Michael doesn't seem like himself. He seems to have a Norco-type gaze when he isn't speaking on camera. It made me remember a few seasons ago when he hurt his back. Is he possibly recovering from back surgery? I have had a number (4) back surgeries and am almost now entirely fused. I have also been on Norco for a long time. If this is the situation, I sympathize with you totally. If this is the situation, I hope you can get back to the original-type of production you and Ashley used to do. I know this season is almost over, and I am glad because I have watched about as much of these reruns as I can. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed much of the explanation and insight, but enough is enough. You have my sincerest hopes for a creative and bright future. Tim Sayers
