Spin City (1996–2002)
8/10
The other side of bureaucracy!
31 May 2009
A witty, smart sitcom about the lives of colorful working people for the government, specially for the smart ass playing dumb Major.

I watched this sitcom when it first came out but I would enjoy it more nowadays because I work in the City Hall. Anyways, I remember it with a smile on my face because most of the situations were "reality bites" mixed with witty humor and very creative situations.

But that wouldn't worked without interesting, comical, and creative characters. Each of them had a distinctive personality and sense of humor. Michael J. Fox was just great in his character and I feel that Charlie Sheen delivered another comedic performance in substitute of J. Fox, but still, he filled his shoes. The rest of the cast was also great. Michael Boatman, Alan Ruck and company were excellent. Even Heather Locklear demonstrated she was a decent actress! I miss this show that had a truly creative plot and best of all, smart situations that always caught my attention.

You know, bureaucracy is sometimes boring, clichéd, but "Spin City" showed that it can also become really, really funny.
