Product Description
-------------------
Step inside the inner sanctum of one of the most sharp-witted
and funniest political machines ever. Meet Deputy Mayor Mike
Flaherty and the quirky City Hall staff members from Spin City as
they expertly spin their gaffe-prone Mayor Randall Winston and
the City out of daily near-misses. From dealing with the Mayor's
problematic wife to catching a nudist roaming inside the City
Hall to losing a deceased dog just hours before the wake,
this idiosyncratic office family goes the distance in this
popular ensemble television comedy. The critically accled and
award-winning television series Spin City draws back the curtain
of this dysfunctional City Hall in the biggest city in America
and provides a smart and comic take on how much it takes to keep
the well-meaning but bumbling Mayor looking good. Season One of
Spin City boasts a pedigreed ensemble cast including Michael J.
Fox, Carla Gugino (Chicago Hope, Karen Sisco), Barry Bostwick
(Law & Order: SVU), Richard Kind (Mad About You, Scrubs), Alan
Ruck (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Michael Boatman (Law & Order),
Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights), and Alexander Chin
(Scrubs), alongside notable guest stars Stephen Colbert, Jennifer
Garner, Woody Harrelson, Marlee Matlin, Gretchen Mol, Amanda
Peet, Luke Perry, George Stephanopoulos, Courtney Thorne-Smith,
George Wendt, among others. Marking 12 years after Spin City's
initial premiere on network television, Shout! Factory will
release Spin City: The Complete First Season DVD box set on
November 4, 2008. Season One of the series is available for the
first time ever in this 4-DVD box set containing all 24 accled
episodes, all-new interviews with Michael J. Fox, the series
creators and the ensemble cast, 7 episode commentaries and
Highlights of The Paley Center for Media Seminar featuring Gary
David Goldberg and Michael J. Fox in 1996. The collectible Spin
City: The Complete First Season DVD box set is priced to own at
$39.99. Spin City is a smart, sophisticated sitcom about the
behind-the-scenes workings of a fictional NYC based City Hall.
Workaholic Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) is the Deputy Mayor of
New York City, serving as Mayor Randall Winston's (Barry
Bostwick) 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); a sexist, boorish chief of staff
(Alan Ruck); an impeccably groomed gay activist running minority
affairs (Michael Boatman); a sharp and efficient, man-crazy
accountant (Connie Britton); and an idealistic young speechwriter
(Alexander Chin). Like Mike, they are all professionally
capable but personally challenged.
