OK I have been watching this over the past few weeks now and though at first I didn't care for it I have completely changed my tune after last night its one of the funniest comedies this fall and it only seems to be going up from where it is now I cant wait to see more I adore this guys momma she is quotable hilarious and tells it like it is and as for lea Michele she is just as charming and beautiful as ever you got to love her latten flavor but I totally recommend this program to anyone a simply hilarious comedy
What a great show! I was flipping channels and found the series premiere tonight and was absolutely delighted by this comedy. Brandon Micheal Hall is a charming, fast talking, sightly self-centered Courtney Rose. Courtney, by trying to promote his music with his run for office, ends up the mayor of his town.
This comedy has a lot of heart, and the heart and common sense are centered in Courtney's mom, played by Yvette Nicole Brown. She is fabulous! She reels in her son when he goes too far, and gives him the inspiration and advice and firm talking-to he needs--along with a lot of love and confidence. What a great mom.
I was disappointed tonight when I flipped to this show and came here to IMDb. I wanted to find out a little more about it, and I saw that 42 people had rated show for an average of 5.6 before the show even aired. Come on, people, don't do that to this delightful show. Give it a shot. you'll laugh, you'll think, and you'll feel good when it is done.

after the funny but bland premier episode of this show I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it or not but gave it a second chance and I wound up glad I did I laughed and had a great time watching this everyone is pretty much likable here his 'boys' are hilarious and his moma is quote worthy and lovable and I adore lea Michele here she is beautiful and hilarious even Courtney himself is likable I recommend trying this one out if your looking for good family fun on Tuesday night
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.

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
