The show is set in Los Angeles
Ted Danson wants to be clear. His new show “Mr. Mayor” is not about politics. It’s a workplace comedy set in Los Angeles’ City Hall. And in a time where anything political is so divisive, it’s smart to make that distinction less people start picking sides before the show debuts.
Here’s hoping they give it a chance. “Mr. Mayor” is the brainchild of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock ( 30 Rock ). And the whip smart writing will feel familiar to fans of that show.

There s a new mayor in town, but he s more than familiar to you. Cheers and
The Good Place alum Ted Danson has elected to return to NBC to promote an agenda of laughter. In the Tina Fey-and-Robert Carlock-created comedy
Mr. Mayor (which premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT), Danson, 73, stars as Neil Bremer, a retired businessman who has no business lording over Los Angeles, but when he runs for the city s top political seat in a bid to impress his teenage daughter, Orly (Kyla Kenedy), he winds up winning the darned thing. The uniquely unqualified Neil will spend the first 100 days in office (and beyond, surely) trying to understand the lay of this bizarre land and attempting to win over activist Councilwoman-turned-Deputy Mayor Arpi (Holly Hunter), who is far from a fan of his.
