ABC’s new sitcom “Speechless” is a funny, irreverent, enjoyable comedy which features a character in a wheelchair, and it’s about time! The show stars Minnie Driver as the good-hearted, tenacious Mama Bear who ensures that her son with CP has all the same opportunities as her other two children. JJ is a charming, funny teenager who rolls his eyes at his parents, gets into teenage shenanigans, and also happens to use a wheelchair and a communication board. The show doesn’t make any of them sentimental; they just get to be a real, modern family making things work one day at a time. Kudos ABC!
