It is so refreshing to see a show about a person with disability that not only stars an actual person with disability, but is written by that person. Teal is genuine, and funny, and shares the real issues around living a busy life in a wheelchair, with humor and compassion. She weaves her story lines around real life situations involving both able and disabled characters. I'm in a wheelchair myself, and I can easily relate to most of the situations Teal finds herself in. My Gimpy Life should serve as a template for other writers, actors and producers who want to explore topics and characters with disability. I have no idea why this show has not been picked up by one of the networks. It is a winner.
