Overview[]
It's all about the spin you put on your statements. Particularly with the bumbling Mayor of New York City constantly putting his foot in his mouth in public. As a result, it's up to the Deputy Mayor and his dedicated staff to try and spin Hizzoner's statements to a more flattering tone. But it's difficult when your own boss is constantly sabotaging your efforts unknowingly and your own staff are usually more a hindrance than a help to you. It's just another day at the office for Mike Flaherty!
Spin City was a long-running American produced family sitcom TV series starring Michael J. Fox, and later Heather Locklear and Charlie Sheen. It was originally intended as a vehicle for its primary star, Michael J. Fox who won several awards for his performance as Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty.
However Fox's developing health problems from Parkinson's Disease resulted in the introduction of Heather Locklear's character of Caitlin Moore as his co-star during the series' fourth season to help reduce his workload. Ultimately, Fox's worsening condition forced him to give up his role entirely, resulting in his character being written out and being replaced with Charlie Crawford as portrayed by Charlie Sheen in the fifth season. The loss of star Michael J. Fox resulted in faltering ratings that caused Spin City to be cancelled shortly afterwards.
