Mr. Mayor

If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Mr. Mayor is available on streaming right now. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 89 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Ted Danson leads a cast with real comic timing. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason Mr. Mayor keeps coming up in conversation. Mr. Mayor does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A retired businessman runs for mayor of Los Angeles to prove he's "still got it." Once he wins, he has to figure out what he stands for, gain the respect of his biggest critic and connect with his teenage daughter, all while trying to get anything right for America's second weirdest city. Ted Danson and Holly Hunter lead a cast with the timing to make it work. 2 seasons (2021–2022) gave the story room most shows never get. Mr. Mayor earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Mr. Mayor is a strong candidate. Fans of Sanford and Son will recognise the sensibility here immediately. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Ted Danson sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Mr. Mayor was cancelled in 2022, created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
