The fifth season of "Spin City" is the first one for Charlie Sheen. Taking over for original series star Michael J. Fox who stepped away after an emotional fourth season finale to focus on Parkinson's disease research, Mr. Sheen capably plays new New York City Deputy Mayor Charlie Crawford. He is a very gifted dry comic actor, a trait I first noticed in the "Hot Shots!" movies, and that trait serves him well on "Spin City."

Mr. Sheen co-stars with Heather Locklear in this season, who returns as political strategist Caitlin Moore. Barry Bostwick is perfect as harmlessly clueless Mayor Randall Winston,and Alan Ruck always manages to make the humorous lecher Stuart Bondek sympathetic. Richard Kind is an awesome comic dynamo as neurotic Press Secretary Paul Lassiter.

I really like the fifth season of "Spin City." The writers roll with Sheen's reputation and make the humor racier than it is during the Fox years, but that's OK with me. It is still classy and funny, and I'm looking forward to its August 16th release date.

waited a long time for this to be released and am watching it now. very entertaining. arrived in good condition but it has a few blankes in the audio part that becomes irritating after a while.

I haven't seen this DVD yet but I look forward to seeing it. Fourteenth word, fiftieth word, sixteenth word,seventh word.

Overall, I liked this dvd. It started a little weird without Michael J. Fox, and some of the original characters, but eventually Charlie Sheen proves an able replacement for Mr. Fox.
