Thank you, TDigs for putting up the original cast of Spin City up there with Michael J. Fox. This show was great. So, so great. I miss Michael J. Fox so much. I'll probably shed a few tears when he's gone. Because in television, he's simply a juggernaut. Everything he touches turns to gold. This is no exception. A wonderful cast, great story, and Michael J. Fox being in the center of it all. I know he can't continue to act due to his Parkinson's, and it's a damn shame. I won't even acknowledge the abomination that Charlie Sheen and Heather Locklear tried to put on. Heather's hot, but did not belong near such a great show. Neither did Charlie Sheen. But thanks to his run on Spin City, we now have Two and a Half Men, which is in the running for top sitcom of this decade ratings wise.
Spin City all day. Sabrina was awful, too.

Married with Children may be the show that I am backing throughout this tournament but a close second would be Spin City. Michael J Fox is one of the most underrated actors ever, in my opinion, and he really showed his ability as a major character during his tenure on Spin City. Even after it left the genious that is Bill Lawrence managed to keep it going with Charlie Sheen and Heath Locklear and keep it funny and connected to its roots. It was one of the few shows ever that I could tolerate making such a drastic change and still succeed.
Do the right thing and vote Spin City here or Stuart and Carter will steal your steering wheel.

Spin City during the Michael J. Fox era was phenomenal. Once he got sick and left, it went down hill. But, even at its worst, it's still better than anything I ever saw on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. I just never "got" the show, and it's still not funny when I come across it on TV. Spin City makes me stop flipping the moment I see it.

HOW is this so close? Well actually, Sabrina was aimed at teenage girls, so I guess I can understand it. But I LOVED Sabrina, and can not allow it to go out just yet, no matter what it's up against. I even loved the college years, although those of Saved by the Bell were just bad. Every episode of Sabrina was just gold. It was my favourite show as a teenager, alongside SbtB. The fact her and Harvey finally ended up together was so sweet - especially how it happened. This actually was a part of my childhood, and I love it.
SPIN CITY!
As NSL has already said, Spin City was phenomenal during the tenurs of Michael J Fox. Seriously, I began watching it years ago and Michael J Fox is a genius. He is consistently funny and it was an absolute shame that he got sick and couldn't continue any longer. However, with that being said, I still have to vote for it. It is comedy gold and deserves every vote it gets.
Sabrina was a great show. I used to watch it on CITV every day when I came in from school and loved it. The Salem character has blisteringly funny and provided me with huge laughs as a youngster. However, the only thing that stopped me voting for it was the last few seasons. They were fucking dire.

I watched both of these shows, and let me tell you, Spin City wins in a fucking landslide and a half. I loved Sabrina when I was a kid (come on Salem was the man) but as I grew up and went back to watch it, it does NOT hold up. In fact it's absolutely terrible.
Spin City is a show I got into after I got into Scrubs a few years ago, as it was Bill Lawrence (the creator of Scrubs) first series, and holy fuck was I impressed. Impressed so much I'm not sure which show I like more, Spin City or Scrubs, and I'm a HUGE Scrubs fan. The cast was one of the best I've ever seen, seriously. Michael J. Fox at his absolute BEST (sorry Lariat, THIS is the Michael J. Fox that I'll always remember, not the one from Family Ties), the awesome Alan Ruck from Ferris Beuller fame as Stuart, Michael Boatman as the ONLY realistic, intelligent, articulate and actually fucking REALISTIC gay character in the history of sitcoms. the great Barry Bostwick from Rocky Horror fame as the mayor of New York, and the underrated Richard Kind as Paul. I mean that cast was just so good for those first few seasons that show was just always on point.
Michael Boatman deserves a thousand awards for his portrayal of Carter Haywood on Spin City. A gay black man who isn't a cliched stereotype in every way but actually a realistic and intelligent character? Unheard of in the mid-90s you guys. All you had was the Will & Grace stereotypes at this time.
Do the right thing people, I implore you, vote for Spin City. One of my favorite sitcoms of the 90s, and one I'll never get tired of. I'll always remember the first time I watched it, as I was so incredibly shitfaced drunk that night that I basically just passed out that night and awoke at 7AM still drunk as hell, and decided to watch a Spin City marathon while recovering from the night before because I just did not have the strength to move my arm to grab the remote and change the channel. The show won me over that day, and I've loved it since.
VOTE FOR SPIN CITY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BILL LAWRENCE AND MICHAEL J. FOX DEMAND YOU!
Do it, or Rags will kill himself. Again. Do you really want this lovable rogue to do that?

Honestly, I haven't watched much Spin City at all, but I'm still going to vote here ... for Spin City.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch is complete and utter trash. Someone watch and episode of it today and tell me that it's good. There was absolutely nothing I enjoyed about this show at all and it should be out of this tourney ASAP.

I only watched Sabrina because I had a sister who thought she was the god of the remote. Spin City was fantastic, funny, and with Fox, it was a much watch underrated show. I am not a big Charlie Sheen fan, so when he took over, it went downhill, but before that, it taught me a lot. It showcased Homosexuals in a positive light, it had a funny boss who was a bit of a screw up, it made women look like ****es, and it was fun to see Fox keep the city intact without looking like he cared too much.

Spin City all the way here. I didn't get a chance to watch it until it went into syndication, but man that was a great show to watch. Especially with Michael J Fox rolling up in there, he made that show awesome. Like X said the whole cast was simply amazing, the Mayor always cracked me up, Bostwick did an outstanding job portraying a bumbling likable mayor.
I know some people hated when Charlie Sheen took over, but I really didn't mind it. No way near as good as Fox as the lead character, but I thought he did well. Heather Locklear shouldn't have been on the show either, but she's hot so that makes up for it slightly.
Sabrina, well the first few seasons were alright I suppose. I watched it mostly because I had an odd crush on MJH. Salem was awesome too, but this doesn't hold a candle to Spin City.
