TV Series Based On Michelle Obama Gets Cancelled After Just One Season


A series on the Showtime network called ‘The First Lady’ that was based on Michelle Obama has been cancelled after just one season.

This is somewhat surprising, when you consider the way Ms. Obama is covered by the media. According to them, she is one of the most beloved and popular figures in the country.

If that’s true, why didn’t the show last? Weren’t people watching it?

Showtime’s ‘The First Lady,’ Starring Viola Davis as Michelle Obama, Is a One-Term Flop

There will be no second term for Showtime’s The First Lady, which starred Viola Davis as Michelle Obama. The dramatic anthology series has been canceled after just one season following ridicule from viewers and widespread negative reviews.

:) I think the US news and entertainment industry has gone the way of the US auto industry and US department stores. But with a big difference being that the US news and entertainment industry can't be counted on to report the bad news about itself.

Does anyone still watch anything on ABC, CBS, NBC except maybe for live sporting events? Anyone remember the outrage when CBS snipped the tail end off a PGA golf match in favor of 60 Minutes :) More viewers prefer to watch a Golf match rather than CBS's prime time news magazine.

How much of the US news and entertainment is still a US industry? Don't a bunch of Chinese communist now own most of AMC and a dozen of their subsidiaries? If they no longer own it, it's probably because they had to cut their losses and put their money elsewhere.

You'd think that Showtime would have flourished during COVID, but what flourished was Tubi and the other streaming video providers who brought us the hundreds and thousands of great movies from around the world.

I heard that it was because the woman they got to play Michelle was just a tad too ugly and tad too "street". Michelle fans were offended...🤣🤣🤣. Anyone surprised that they were offended? 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou Mooch fans are the most foolish and gullible anywhere
akindheart · 61-69, F
you can i didn't watch it because it was about her. i am a big history buff but i despise the obamas so much, it ruined it for me. and her in particular
There's absolutely nothing interesting about her.

@DffrntDrmmr or likeable

I guess she’s not as popular as he thought he was

The anthology series followed the stories of Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford [i]and[/i]
Michelle Obama. The show being cancelled, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the like or dislike of any of the first ladies portrayed in the 1rst season.
Slade · 56-60, M
@Piper they couldn't get her tail trimmed enough either
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Piper why did it get cancelled then?
Piper · 61-69, F
@akindheart As I recall, there were several different criticisms of the series. None of them had anything to do with any of the 3 actual first ladies.

She’s probably a little on the busy side, she could be our next President if she wants it .

@Dino11 Lead paint must be so delicious
@Dino11 🤢🤮
There had to be the hand of “wokeness/ cancel culture” involved. Someone got offended!
Torsten · 36-40, M
what a dumb idea for a tv show. I am shocked it was even considered let alone canceled after one season
Slade · 56-60, M
@Torsten it was another money laundering scheme for a very undeserved individual
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Torsten i am a history fan. i would have watched it had Odumbo not been in it
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
I suspect it was hard to keep intrest in it.

@Budwick I am happy I am not in a [b]cult mindset[/b] like you are.
Your parents should be really proud that their son has such a brilliant mind. 🤭

Zone - have your cult mindset checked. It's on overload.

@graphite Sadly, Barack turned out to color everything as a 'victim' of his race, too... and he was so oppressed he was elected by the American people as President of the United States twice!

@DffrntDrmmr Raised mostly by his bank VP grandmother before being waved on into Harvard, the US Senate and the Presidency. Must have been a struggle surviving on a bank executive's salary.
@graphite if you haven’t, read Dreams from My Father. Supposedly authored by Barak though it’s been alleged Bill Ayers actually did the book. Anyway it’s pretty interesting.
