Default 5 lessons ABC's The Mayor can take from other unlikely TV politicians

http://www.agonybooth.com/5-lessons-...iticians-57662



Quote:
America’s had a cowboy for a president, and we currently have a reality TV star in the White House. Who’s to say an aspiring rapper couldn’t be mayor?

In the soon-to-launch ABC comedy The Mayor, created by Jeremy Bronson (The Mindy Project, Speechless, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) and executive produced by Daveed Diggs (Broadway’s Hamilton), newcomer Brandon Michael Hall plays Courtney Rose, a 27-year-old aspiring rapper who decides the best way to generate publicity for his upcoming album is to run for office in his California hometown of Fort Grey.

Courtney mugs for the cameras, has a few good sound bites during the debate, and accuses all the other candidates of being out of touch with the struggles of the townspeople. To his surprise, that’s enough to get him elected.

The series will follow Courtney through his four-year term as he attempts to better his Bay Area town with the help of his no-nonsense mother Dina (Yvette Nicole Brown), loyal friends Jermaine and T.K. (Bernard David Jones and Marcel Spears), and his rival’s ex-campaign manager Valentina (Lea Michele). Only time—and the ratings—will tell if Courtney can make Fort Grey great again.

But Courtney doesn’t have to take all of his political cues from Reagan or Trump; other TV characters have blazed the trail for people with little to no political experience before taking office. Whether they delivered on their promises of hope and change or left with their approval ratings in the dumpster, these unlikely candidates could offer advice for Courtney Rose as he serves his first term.

or he could just watch Dan For Mayor - awesome show that got completely overlooked and screwed over - still waiting for them to release season 2 on DVD.
