Entertainment: An ailing Michael J. Fox making 'Spin City' appearance The Associated Press LOS ANGELES (September 23, 2001 4:56 p.m. EDT) - Michael J. Fox says his emotional but brief guest appearance this week on his former series, "Spin City," is well-timed. Fox left the ABC comedy last year amid his struggle with Parkinson's disease and was replaced in his role as deputy mayor by Charlie Sheen. "It really would have been strange if I had gone back last season," Fox told the Los Angeles Times. "It would have been very awkward for Charlie. But now it's established its own identity. And I could just watch someone else do the job and get my check in the mail." "It's like visiting your kid in college. You don't have to feed him or her." Fox said the guest spot was not easy on him physically because of his illness. The first two of the three episodes featuring Fox are to air back to back on Tuesday. The third is set for next week.
