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?

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 How incredibly inane. Not at all surprising though, that some actually found it amusing.

@Piper why did it get cancelled then?

@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.
