This week saw the main burst of season finales of this 2021-2022 Cable Season. So here comes a whole bunch of sitcom reviews from the shows that ended this week. First up is NBC’s recent addition Mr. Mayor. Season two of Mr. Mayor brought with it mostly the same things as the first season. Pretty solid laughs here and there but mostly at the expense of my generation. A lot of sitcoms seem to over fixate on jokes about this incoming generation, we get it, you don’t understand us but then they make very pathetic attempts to try and connect with us. Attempting to use modern slang just makes them look so desperate. Ted Danson is still good as Mayor Neil Bremer and he only really seems to care about being Mayor for the last couple episodes of this season when it seems like he might lose it. Holly Hunter completely breaks from her character in the last couple episodes, or quite possibly is exactly who she said she was for the very first time, either way, it’s an unexpected change. Vella Lovell and Mike Cabellon are such a delight this entire season. Being the main diversity in a show set in Los Angeles, it’s a shame how little diversity this show has in its main cast. But Lovell and Cabellon work really well together and I love seeing their friendship grow. Kyla Kenedy is a fun representative of the younger generation and poses an interesting divide between her and her Dad. Bobby Moynihan is just so much fun and I enjoy the antics of his character very much. It was nice to see him expand a little more and become more connected with the team. Yedoye Travis is a great addition to the cast this season and I hope he can find a way to stay for the next season. If the show comes back for a third season I’d be happy to watch it but you won’t see me disappointed if it doesn’t return even after the cliffhanger final moments. I think this season was a step up from the first season but it still felt like it was missing something to get me to connect with it more. Season two of Mr. Mayor gets a 7/10 from me, I’m sure NBC will bring it back because they don’t have many sitcoms but I hope they step up their game just a little. -Tyler.
