Spin City RAQ Volume 1.1

(Recently Asked Questions)

This page is designed to answer questions asked about what's going on with the show.   If you've got a question you need an answer to, feel free to e-mail it here.  Keep in mind that I don't work on the show, so I may not hve all the answers you require...

Remizo asks:  Are there any spin city videos for sale?

Not yet.  They won't go on sale 'till at least Spin City starts it's syndication run in 2000.
jgbb asks:    I would like to know the name of the actress that is the secretary of Michael J. Fox.  Thanks.

In the first season, Janelle (played by Victoria Dillard) was Mike's secretary.   Starting in episode [2-4], Janelle became The Mayor's secretary and Mike hired Stacey Paterno (played by Jennifer Esposito).
Manfred Heinrich asks:    Hi, What does Spin City mean? Where does the name come from?

The term "spin" is an American term for political postering.  It involves twisting facts to suit your political bent.  "Spin City" was meant to convey the show's dependance on politics as a plot device.  However, as the show has gone on, politics have become less important in the show's scheme.
Aly5 asks:    Hi! I'm John!  I watch Spin City every week and think its great!

Thanks, but "That's not really a question..."
Ian Warn asks:    I am wondering what the name of the artwork (of the american flag)
is on the back wall of Michael's office.

The tattered flag is merely a prop.  More information about can be found at the ABC site.
Kim1967 asks:    I'd like to know what date Jeff Gordon will on the show. Im a huge fan of his.

Jeff, Chris Berman, and Jayson Williams  (of the NJ Nets, if the NBA ever plays again) were in the November 17th episode.  Note:  Marv Alberts was supposed to appear in Berman's place.
Luke B. asks: Do you know how I would go about getting tickets for the taping of Spin City?

Info on tickets can be found at the ABC site or by reading the FAQ.
You Wish asks:  Microsoft Sucks.  Internet Explorer Sucks.  MSN Sucks.  You Suck.

Uh, thanks for the input.  Glad to be living up to your expectations.
Celestine D. asks:  Everyone in my office would like to know what breed of "dog" Rags(from Spin City) is, and what's his real name?

This was taken from the November 29th edition of Parade Magazine...

"The elderly canine, a new addition to the household of Carter Heywood was inspired by the family dog of Spin City writer Kirk [J.] Rudell. ... The TV Rags is played by a short-haired Brussells griffon named Wesley."

(Actually, Celestine wasn't the only one to ask this question.  But do you want me to repeat it numerous times?)
