I don't know why this show is getting so much hate! Well, I take that back, i actually do understand. Its the people who hate the modern shows for lacking the same nostalgic feel that older shows have. Well that takes time! If you give this show a little time to mature it will surprise you. Its going to go through a little trial and error before it blossoms into what could be a decent show. This series is trying to show kids that they DO have a voice in this country, even if they are still young. Americas political system is full of old farts who just don't care about anything that doesn't involve their wallets, and that is what this show preaches. An Example of this is the second episode when The Mayor/rapper finds out that the city council plans on cutting the music program. He then finds out making change in society is not as easy as he thought and then by the end of the episode what ends up saving the music program is people calling in and voicing their opinion. Even though it has a bit of a slow start, this show has a lot of potential to become something more than just a show. It could possibly give its audience a glimpse of how young people think nowadays while also hopefully giving people a reason to speak up and NOT let the world just burn.

Synopsis: Teenager likes to rap, accidentally becomes Mayor of a somewhat rundown town.That whole process was presented in the Pilot, which wasn't funny at all. The pilot wasn't captivating, wasn't deep nor was it entertaining, and what is to come seems fairly predictable. Many pitfalls, many life lessons, many disappointed people, but in the end of the day it all works out, and he gets to rap too.Perhaps I am not the intended audience, but also the 16 year old me would not have watched this. It is simply too flat, too 'fake' and lacks soul, lacks a whole lot of soul.

I watched the first episode of this and all in all I was pleased with what I saw there were some funny moments and some serious too I loved the gorgeous lea Michele she is just too sexy for her own damn good and I liked the story and lesson of how some times doing things for the wrong reason can have cocequinces and the mother is perfect love yevet nichole brown as it is but here she just seems fantastic I will wait till next week to make my full decision

What a great show! I was flipping channels and found the series premiere tonight and was absolutely delighted by this comedy. Brandon Micheal Hall is a charming, fast talking, sightly self-centered Courtney Rose. Courtney, by trying to promote his music with his run for office, ends up the mayor of his town. This comedy has a lot of heart, and the heart and common sense are centered in Courtney's mom, played by Yvette Nicole Brown. She is fabulous! She reels in her son when he goes too far, and gives him the inspiration and advice and firm talking-to he needs--along with a lot of love and confidence. What a great mom. I was disappointed tonight when I flipped to this show and came here to IMDb. I wanted to find out a little more about it, and I saw that 42 people had rated show for an average of 5.6 before the show even aired. Come on, people, don't do that to this delightful show. Give it a shot. you'll laugh, you'll think, and you'll feel good when it is done.
