Spin City is an American sitcom television series that ran from 1996 to
2002 on ABC. Created by Gary David Goldberg and Bill Lawrence, the show
was based on a fictional local government running New York City, and
originally starred Michael J. Fox as Mike Flaherty, the Deputy Mayor of
New York. The show was cancelled in 2002 due to low ratings from the
2001.2002 season and a change in target demographics.
In 2000, Paramount Television (which produced Michael J. Fox's earlier
sitcom, Family Ties) began syndicating the series to local stations
(Paramount parent Viacom would later buy the show's producer DreamWorks).
It and successor companies owned distribution rights until 2009, when
DreamWorks became independent again. The syndication rights are currently
held by ABC's syndication arm, Disney-ABC Domestic Television, as Walt
Disney Studios Motion Pictures will begin distributing DreamWorks live-
action films in 2009
