I love this show. It's funny, bright, irreverent, and like nothing else
on the tube these days. Charlie Sheen was an excellent save in
SPIN CITY, but he's perfectly cast as the lazy, womanizing single
guy who writes ad jingles for a living, and whose space is invaded
by his nerdy brother, Jonathan Cryer, and his ten-year-old son,
Angus T. Jones. While Sheen does warm up to his nephew, he's
doesn't turn all saccharine and start acting like an uncle should.
Instead, he's a wonderfully corrupting influence and the two of
them often collude against the father. I've only seen one posting
about Melanie Lynskey's brilliant turn as the female stalker who is
always looking through Charlie's deck door. It's about as funny a
regular gag as Carlton the doorman on the old Rhoda show and
Candace Bergin's endless line of incompetent secretaries. She's
adorable and makes the character both hilarious and creepy. Well
done.
Holland Taylor is perfect as the insufferable mother both sons love
to resent. Her self-involvement is hilarious. The name of the
splendid comic actress playing Sheen's housekeeper is Conchata
Ferrell, a veteran of TV sitcoms (Hotl Baltimore). It's wonderful to
see her back in action.
Favorite episode was the return of an ex-flame of Charlie's. Only
she is now a he, having had a sex-change operation. When it's
discovered that "he" has spent the night with Charlie's mom, I
could barely contain myself. I was hysterical with laughter. Then
Conchata Ferrell's bit as the housekeeper who begs Charlie,
offering him free housekeeping for a month, if she can be there to
witness his telling his mother that the he was formerly a she!
Priceless.
Wonderful cast. Wonderful, crisp writing and well-observed
situations. This one has all the hallmarks of a sitcom classic and
I hope it runs for years. I was never much of a Charlie Sheen
admirer, but he's evolved into a first-rate comic actor and he leads
this first-rate ensemble with low-key charm and expert delivery.
