Mr. Mayor

As always, Ted Danson is great in his role as goofy mayor. Bobby Moynihan is very funny as his assistant. Not very much character depth after the first two episodes but believe there are better episodes to come.

Fresh. Different. Smart. Sarcastic. Goofy. Slapstick. Relatable. Feel good. Great cast. Random.

Pro tip: watch stoned

This show gives off major 30 Rock vibes with ridiculous head shaking humor. I agree with other reviews that the first 1-2 episodes aren't great, but the show really hits it's stride after that. Holly Hunter deserves an award for her acting as the cooky, ultra progressive character Arpi. Overall not a perfect show, but a fun watch.

I watched the first episode and was kind of disappointed as I loved 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt. But I gave Mr. Mayor another chance and it got better in the next two episodes. The pacing and humor was more Kimmy Schmidt than 30 Rock but it is funny. There is some meta humor I appreciate and the puns are shining through. Give this series a chance. Even The Office needed 6 episodes or so to find its footing. I think this could be the same case.

UPDATE

Despite the pilot being awful, I decided to watch the next two episodes. These were much better and makes me think they got in some new writers after the show was approved.

It's not amazing but is much better and hopefully they continue to improve it.

I saw this and thought this looks like a great show, Ted Danson is a fantastic actor, while despite trying to carry the show, the writing is awful, trying to be overly woke while failing at almost anything comedic. I laughed in the pilot a couple times and they were light chuckles. Hardly a comedy. I also noticed some really poor video editing in scenes showing it was quite rushed. Not sure why there are some 9/10 reviews on here, are they the writers?

This will be cancelled in no time unless they sack the writers and get this show fixed. It's a great concept, just let down by the awful writing.
