La star della NFL e analista di calcio Terry Bradshaw indossa molti cappelli, incluso quello di una star della televisione di realtà. Detto questo, forse una delle sue più grandi sfide finora è stata la sua diagnosi di cancro. Nell’ottobre 2022, l’ex stella del calcio ha rivelato Volpe Sport che gli ultimi anni erano stati una sfida per lui poiché aveva affrontato non solo una ma due forme di cancro: il cancro alla vescica e il carcinoma a cellule di Merkel, che è una forma di cancro della pelle piuttosto rara. Bradshaw ha affrontato la malattia in privato prima di annunciare la spaventosa diagnosi ai fan. “Ragazzi, potrei non sembrare il mio vecchio io, ma mi sento come il mio vecchio io. Sono libero dal cancro, mi sento benissimo e col tempo tornerò dove sono normalmente”, ha detto. ha detto nello spettacolo. Ha aggiunto di aver apprezzato “le vostre preghiere e la vostra preoccupazione”.
Terry and his wife, Tammy Bradshaw, also spoke about the star's diagnosis, sharing how much it affected them. In a "Today" segment, Tammy said that the news frightened her because of all the uncertainty regarding the future, but she tried to hold it together for her husband. The illnesses made the pair realize they shouldn't take life for granted. "We're going to go to Europe, going to go to Paris, going to go to wherever we want to go," Terry said after his clean bill of health.
But where's the one place they don't plan on going back to? Reality television.
The Bradshaw Bunch is dunzo
Despite the fact that "The Bradshaw Bunch" had been renewed for a third season, it appears as though the show won't go on — at least not for the time being. According to TMZ, Terry Bradshaw's family show was originally put on hold due to the football star's cancer diagnosis. The outlet reports that the family had planned to begin shooting the series last March, but those plans were thwarted amid Terry's health issues. Around that time, it was agreed that the Bradshaw family and E! News, the network that housed the series, would go their separate ways though no official cancellation announcement was issued.
The series enjoyed two seasons on air, running from 2020 until early 2022, before the third season got held up. The show followed the sports analyst, his wife, and their daughters as they dealt with their everyday lives mixed with a lot of comedy. As of this writing, the E! News website still has the show's page up and it includes plenty of content for fans of the show, including clips, recaps, and catch-up sessions with different members of the family.
According to TV Insider, executive producer Jason Ehrlich originally had the idea for the show. "He met my daughters for the first time. He just watched the girls and saw how they would handle themselves around me and how much fun we had together," Bradshaw explained. "He said, 'Man, that would make a great reality show." Sadly, all good things must come to an end.
