Spin City is an American television sitcom that aired from September 17, 1996 until April 30, 2002 on the ABC network. 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 Domestic Television began syndicating the series to local stations . It and successor companies owned distribution rights until... 2009, when DreamWorks became independent again. The syndication rights are held by ABC's syndication arm, Disney-ABC Domestic Television, as Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures began distributing DreamWorks live-action films in 2009. The series focuses on the Mayor of New York City, Randall Winston , and his staff as they run the city—although the main person in charge is Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty .
