re: Was BOSS with Kelsey Grammer an interesting series?

It was very good, but I think it hit a little too close to home, especially with the big city (D) political class.

Although back in 2012 criticism of implicitly Democratic Chicago mayors was closer to criticizing national politics because of Rahm Emanuel.

Perhaps that was part of why the show was canceled.

Both these comments are spot on. The Chicago Code came out around the same time and was canceled after 13 episodes. The creator has said he was never told why.

I think the criticism of the Democratic Machine in each show may have at least contributed to their cancellations. Boss was canceled the same month Obama was reelected.
