The Mayor

Well at first I thought that I wouldn't keep watching it, but since it only had a one season, I decided to give it a try. It could have been better, yes, but it was still interesting. It had the same plot almost every episode, but the plot was interesting. But I do understand why they didn't get a second season, there wasn't really anything new they could've given to people, the plot would've still be the same every episode.

I watched the first episode of this and all in all I was pleased with what I saw there were some funny moments and some serious too I loved the gorgeous lea Michele she is just too sexy for her own damn good and I liked the story and lesson of how some times doing things for the wrong reason can have cocequinces and the mother is perfect love yevet nichole brown as it is but here she just seems fantastic I will wait till next week to make my full decision

after watching the first episode I have mixed feelings here I feel like this is a heartfelt sweet show that's really trying and if continues going in this direction we are in for a very nice show here however this isn't a perfect show there isn't enough comedy in my opinion for it to fit in the category of a comedy however its too much fun to be a drama its like it hasn't yet decided what it wants to be but I will wait and see what happens and plus I have a huge crush on lea Michele now just like before when I saw her for the first time I would watch the shown for her alone if I had too but I hope the show progresses as it goes on I have faith in THE MAYOR

In the downtrodden community of Fort Grey, Cal, aspiring rapper Courtney Rose (Brandon Micheal Hall) runs for mayor to promote his music. T.K. Clifton (Marcel Spears) and Jermaine Leforge (Bernard David Jones) are his best friends and entourage. He lives with his postal worker mom Dina Rose (Yvette Nicole Brown). Former schoolmate Valentina Barella (Lea Michele) runs the opponent's campaign. With Courtney's shocking victory, Valentina volunteers to run his office. Corrupt councilman Ed Gunt (David Spade) is a political rival.

The cast is amiable and the characters are sweet enough. Often, Courtney learns a lesson and grows as a character. Spade provides a good sleazy villain. It probably could have done something if given more time. The network cancels it after making 13 episodes. I actually expected it to stretch out the campaigning for the first year. That has great potential and the season could have ended with his surprise victory. Instead, this quickly turns into a standard sitcom. I'm not sure about creator Jeremy Bronson's intentions but he definitely stumbled upon a more uplifting portrayal of small city politics. It's got the underdog aspect and the feel-good lesson of the week.

There is a reason Lea Michele is no longer on TV and this is as good a reason as any. She may be a decent singer and a passable Broadway actress (over theatrical) but she is horrible on TV and in movies.

This project looked like another attempt to structure something around her. It doesn't work! The other actors in this show were just as bad. Very stiff and very predictable. Even David Spade could not save it! This was a waste of time watching and a greater waste of money making it!
