Spin City - The Complete First Season DVD Review

[TJ]

Spin City is a smart, sophisticated ABC sitcom about the behind-the-scenes workings of City Hall in the biggest city in America. Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor, serving as Mayor Randall's Winston's (Barry Bostwick, "Rocky Horror Picture Show") key strategist and much-needed handler.

Mike runs the city with the help of his oddball staff: an anxious and insecure press secretary (Richard Kind, "Mad About You"); a sexist, boorish chief of staff (Alan Ruck, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority affairs (Michael Boatman, "Arliss"); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy accountant (Connie Britton, "Friday Night Lights"); and an idealistic young speechwriter (Alexander Chaplin). Like Mike, they are all professionally capable but personally challenged.

Spin City was an immediate hit when it debuted in 1996. The series reunited Fox with "Family Ties" executive producer and creator Gary David Goldberg and proved that the magic of their creative partnership was enduring.
