No title yet, so I had to embellish...

Ted Danson-Tina Fey Comedy Gets Straight-to-Series Order at NBC

Danson (Cheers, The Good Place) will star in a straight-to-series comedy about a wealthy businessman who is unexpectedly elected mayor of Los Angeles. Fey (SNL, 30 Rock) and her long-time producing partner, Robert Carlock (30 Rock, Kimmy Schmidt), are writing and executive producing.

NBC's Ted Danson-Tina Fey Comedy Was Originally a '30 Rock' Spinoff

Oh wow. Danson and Baldwin have very different energies, so I'm curious as to how the characater has been tweaked.

COVID really threw a hand grenade into my TV habits, because I completely forgot this was a thing that was happening.

This is pretty much the spiritual successor to 30 Rock. Watching it right now and it's pretty much the same show.

‘Mr. Mayor’ Renewed At NBC For Season 2 – Deadline

 

[terry78]

I was wondering where it was.

 

[NotNickFury]

Good! I was wondering what took so long for the show to get renewed, given how it had done, ratings-wise, for NBC. I enjoyed the first season. Had a very 30 Rock vibe to it, though that's what happens when you've got Tina Fey involved, no doubt.
