In this sitcom, Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty (Michael J. Fox) and his City Hall staff must stop the dim-witted Mayor Randall Winston (Barry Bostwick) of New York City from embarrassing himself in front of the media and the voters. The staff consists of Caitlin Moore (Heather Locklear) the Communications Director, Carter Haywood (Michael Boatman) the head of Minority Affairs, Stuart Bondek (Alan Ruck) the Chief of Staff, Paul Lassiter (Richard Kind) the Press Secretary, James Hobert (Alexander Chaplin), the Mayor's Speech Writer, and Nikki Faber (Connie Britton) accountant. In the final two seasons of the show, Mike was replaced by Charlie Crawford (Charlie Sheen). Written by Samantha Rose and Mike Boothroyd
Michael J. Fox is a terrific actor. The supporting cast for this show
were a witty team. However, for some reason the secretary Stacy
was replaced by Heather Locklear. Heather really killed this show,
it was almost dead even by the time MJF left. When she was
added, all the other charactars were pushed to the background
and we hardly ever saw them anymore. Instead, we saw a lot of
Heather interacting with Michael in a strange, contrived way. Then
when Michael J. Fox left, they brought Charlie Sheen in. Charlie
Sheen was all right, but at this point the show was unbearable to
watch because of Locklear's wooden acting abilities and the way
the other cast members (which had dwindled to just four, counting
the Mayor) were shown only once or twice per show. If Locklear had not been brought in and the other cast members
had remained with the show, this show could have survived even
without Fox. This show went off the air in 2002. If you happen to
catch it in reruns, only watch the MJF episodes and the first few
Charlie Sheen episodes, but no more than that.
