After many years of running this bookblog my life has shifted a bit. I will continue to review books I am reading but will be adding in TV and movie reviews as well. Enjoy! Check out my companion blog: http://dcvegeats.blogspot.com/

"Mr. Mayor"
Another NBC comedy from Tina Fey and the minds of "Saturday Night Live" this one packs on the heavyweights. It stars Ted Danson and Holly Hunter along with perpetual funny-man sidekick Bobby Moynihan and a host of fresh faces. It works but it's not the kind of sitcom one watches while cleaning the house or doing laundry. The dialog is super-fast and the edits quick. In the premiere I had to rewind at least three times to catch stuff. It's the kind of funny I like -- mostly smart and a little subtle. It also manages to be a politically-based comedy which doesn't remind you at all about the current political mess. Which is kind of brilliant. I say thumbs up and worth watching. Just make sure to pay attention.
