Spin City Reviews

Currently watching this on Paramount channel, and have just heard that Michael J Fox is leaving due to his Parkinson disease. While praying that he will hold off the advance of the disease for as long as possible, I don't think it will be the same without him. The last two series shown on Paramount, the one just before Heather ...  Read the complete review

Spin City is a superbly put together show. Everything about it works well. It is very, very funny. In Michael. J Fox they have a very talented main character who is perfect for a comedy sitcom like this. They have a couple of stunning young ladies in there as well, which i always like to see. Since Paramount have been showing this every night of ...  Read the complete review

Spin City has been a top rated comedy. Set in New Yorks City Hall it followed the fortunes of the Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty, played by Michael J Fox. Sadly Fox has had to step aside to focus on his health and raising awareness and money for research into Parkinsons Disease. It was therefore a tough decision for the casting ...  Read the complete review

This didn't really receive much attention in the UK, but it obviously got lots of credit in the States, as Michael J. Fox has been awarded with 3 consecutive Golden Globes for 'Best Actor in a Comedy Programme'. The series is based in the Mayor's office in New York, with the central character being the Deputy Mayor (played ...  Read the complete review

A very under-rated sit' com', which at last has received recognision in the form of the Grammy awarded to Michael J Fox recently. Based around the New York Mayor's office Michael J Fox plays the Deputy Mayor, who holds the office, and town hall together. The office is made up of a combination of charactors designed for ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good programme and since they have been showing it every night on Paramount, I have finally managed to see most of the episodes. It is just such a shame that Michael J. Fox due to Parkinsen's disease is unable to make a new series. The stars are all brilliant, including Stuart (everyone recognise him as the scared guy from ...  Read the complete review

Amazing or atrocious. That’s the gist of most of my opinions. I write about my favourite things, or things which irritate me beyond belief. A change is needed. Spin City?? I know I used to watch this. Michael J Fox was in it. A Mayors assistant? I can't really remember. This was middle of the road comedy. It doesn't ...  Read the complete review

It's good to know that you don't have to be brain dead to enjoy modern sitcoms. I was starting to wonder if everyone in the world enjoyed body humor. Then I discovered Spin City and my faith was restored. Most sitcoms from the States (I'm American..i'm allowed to complain :) ) seem to be aimed at teenagers. It only ...  Read the complete review

I was pleasantly surprised by this. As standard prime-time American sitcoms go, this is one of the most amusing, in my opinion. The characters are reasonably original, the jokes are pretty good (sometimes very good) and the plotlines certainly carry the show. I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch this, but then I’m not the biggest fan ...  Read the complete review

Sadly Michael J Fox will no longer be in this series due to his illness and he will be missed. This show is fab and Michael did some great acting as the Deputy Mayor of New York City. Shown of Ch4 at sporadic times and also shown on Digital on the Paramount Channel you can watch the series and make up your own mind. There is ...  Read the complete review

Spin City is one of those US Sitcoms that you never really know whether you like it or not. I must say, I used to be able to take it or leave it, but when you sit down and get in the habit of watching a few episodes - It grows on you. You get to know the characters - Michael J Fox, brilliant as the Deputy Mayor - equally so the Mayor in his own ...  Read the complete review

Spin City is one of the best things on the box, and in my opinion while it isn't as high profile or as popular as 'Friends' it has it is a much sharper comedy and deserves to be in the prime time slot of 'Friends'. Michael J Fox is fantastic in it and all the actors have impeccable comic timing. The scripts are ...  Read the complete review

Hello all of you Spin City fans!!!!! I know that if you are a spin city fan then you know that Mike is gone! This is exactly what I want to discuss. I am pretty sure that most of you will feel the same way I do. I am very upset with Michael's departure from the show, however, as we ...  Read the complete review

This show is fantastic. I'm not normally a fan of Michael J Fox, but he does a great acting job on this show as the dputy mayor of New York. The dialogue is simply wonderfull with all the characters receiving an equal spot in the limelight, and equal share of the great comedy lines. The characters are for once, actually more than just ciphers, ...  Read the complete review
