Loved the show, both when it originally aired and in re-runs. I just wish they'd put out the complete seasons like most other shows are doing. I'd like to pick my own favorites as opposed to relying on Michael J. Fox's. I don't think it's worth buying until they release the complete seasons.

I can only agree with S.Williams from Chicago. I mean, after watching each episode of every season featuring Michael J. Fox on french TV (in english, the french dubbed version sucks), then watching the rerun, how frustrated I was to see they only issued some kind of "best of". How can there be a best of when every episode was so good, so funny, so hilarating ? I did buy every boxset of the Seinfeld series, and I love to watch every episode one after another, in chronological order. But believe me, I will NOT spend my money on these 2 volumes, even when they were chosen by Fox himself. I'm only sorry he got dragged into this. I mean, how could these TV managers decide what episodes I should buy and watch again and again ? Hey guys, I'm way over 13, I earn my own money, please let me spend it like I please ! And give us boxsets with EVERY episode of every season. This I will buy. Not any pre-chosen crap. Putting this on the market instead of what I want is disrespect. Shame on you people !

I enjoyed the shows on the dvd. I did not like having to hear Michael Fox's commentary on each episode. Also, I would like to have the entire first season and let me choose my favorites.

If you don't want to buy the whole series, this is a good appetizer. Of course, what the company called as "the best" is "their best". The concept of best is naturally subjective but you shouldn't be disappointed. If you like it yourself, buy the whole thing. If it's for a friend or you want to give someone a taste, buy both sets/volumes. It will be a nice gift.

Though I haven't actually seen which episodes Michael J. Fox has included has his "favorites", I can say, that after watching Spin City re-runs for the last 3 years, that the show is quite simply, hilarious. The cast are perfect for their roles (No one could have protrayed Mayor Randal Winston as perfectly as Barry Bostwick). The dialouge is witty, the story-lines creative. Several episodes I have seen numerous times I still laugh out loud at. I am pleased to see the series coming to DVD, and am anxious to see what episodes are Fox's "favorites". I'd recommend Spin City to anyone looking for some good old fashioned laugh out loud, innocent comedy. I'd bet that if Michael J. Fox hadn't been stricken with Parkinson's Disease, (thoughts and prayers for him and his family), the show would still be going strong today.

It was great to watch Spin City. Michael J Fox speak before each eposide and that was enjoyable.
