Man of the People is an American sitcom television series created by R.J. Stewart, starring James Garner that aired from September 15, 1991 to July 13, 1992. The supporting cast features Kate Mulgrew. The final two episodes of the series were produced but never broadcast.
Garner called the series "short lived and rightly so."[1]
A small-time womanizing grifter becomes a big hit with his constituents when he is appointed to city council after the death of his ex-wife.[2] The city's mayor, Lisbeth Channing, appoints him to the role assuming he will fail and finally gets what he deserves. He is constantly at odds with Lisbeth, as well as his ex-wife's employee, Constance, who don't approve of his slimy methods of getting things accomplished.
