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

2022-08-05

[Gateway] 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?

Yeah, it's rather difficult to keep a TV series going with only 300 viewers.

True story - when Barack was running the first time, Michelle came to Georgetown SC (where we lived at the time) to visit an aunt and do a bit of handshaking. Now, Georgetown is like a lot of places on the SC coast - large African American populations who live on land given to them in 1865 by a certain William T. Sherman during his stroll up the coast from Savannah that year.

These people are fiercely proud of their history and their heritage, and rightfully so. In '08, Michelle was one of their own, coming back to show how far they had come. The media was out in force, as to be expected.

And they outnumbered - by some considerable distance - the people who were there to see her. Should have been a clue then.
