By Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times January 8, 2021 112 Ted Danson, left, as Mayor Neil Bremer, and Bobby Moynihan as Jayden Kwapis in NBC's 'Mr. Mayor.' (Mitchell Haddad/NBC) With “Mr. Mayor,” Robert Carlock and Tina Fey of “30 Rock” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” fame take their satirical live-action cartoon machine west to Los Angeles, enlisting Ted Danson in a promising semi-political comedy about a semi-political mayor. (It is not “Veep: L.A.,” nor it is related to the tragicomedy currently being played out in our actual halls of power.) Danson plays Neil Bremer, a rich Los Angeles businessman – locals with a moderately long memory may think of Richard Riordan – who finds himself the city’s mayor, almost by accident – which may briefly call to mind Donald Trump, though that is where that resemblance ends. Bremer has pulled himself out of lethargic retirement in part to cut a better figure in the eyes of his daughter, Orly (Kyla Kenedy), who resents him in a reflexive teenage way – “Stop controlling my narrative,” she’ll say – which is to say she also doesn’t. (In fact, Danson and Kenedy have the show’s best chemistry.)
