City is an American sitcom that aired on CBS from January 29 to June 8, 1990. The series was a new starring vehicle for Valerie Harper, which went into development not long after she and husband Tony Cacciotti won their lawsuit against Lorimar-Telepictures over her dismissal from her NBC sitcom Valerie. City was created by Paul Haggis, and like Harper's previous series, was also executive produced by Cacciotti.
