ABC wasted little time cancelling The Mayor after one season.
Speaking at today’s Television Critics Association, network chief Channing Dungey offered her take on why the network didn’t re-elect the sitcom for Season 2 — ratings and “political fatigue”:
“For whatever reason it did not connect to the audience. People knew [about it], but they just didn’t come.”
