...most of the television-owning public is surely aware by now, features Michael J. Fox as the deputy mayor of New York City. It is the creation of Gary David Goldberg, who launched Fox to stardom as the most darling supply-sider of the '80s, Family Ties' Alex Keaton. On the new show Fox's Mike Flaherty is Alex with his own Pottery Barn-furnished apartment. Like Alex he is guided by no redeeming ideals or principles.

Even Michael J. Fox, who has weathered special effects well before, seems a little winded in this go-round, relying more than usual on his rolling eyes and patented nose- wipe motion.
