BOB (HEARTS) ABISHOLA (Monday, 8:30-9:00 PM)
From award-winning creator, executive producer and writer Chuck Lorre, BOB (HEARTS) ABISHOLA is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola’s (Folake Olowofoyeku) lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob (Billy Gardell) is determined to win Abishola’s heart, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America. Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky, Al Higgins and Beth McCarthy-Miller (pilot only) are executive producers for Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. McCarthy-Miller directed the pilot from a script by Lorre, Gorodetsky, Higgins and Gina Yashere.
BOB (HEARTS) ABISHOLA stars Billy Gardell as Bob, Folake Olowofoyeku as Abishola, Christine Ebersole as Dottie, Matt Jones as Douglas, Maribeth Monroe as Christine, Vernee Watson as Gloria, Shola Adewusi as Auntie Olu, Barry Shabaka Henley as Uncle Tunde and Travis Wolfe Jr. as Dele.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Billy Gardell? Will you watch his new series?
Yes, I like Billy. I hate that Mike and Molly was cancelled, but I still watch it in syndication. I also liked him on Young Sheldon, so I’m psyched that he’s back with a new show. Thanks!
I liked it. It’s fresh and funny. I think Billy is sweet and very funny here.
LOVE Billy! Have watch him in everything he Stars in, and his stand up comedy is even funnier. Can’t wait!
I like Billy, but this doesn’t appeal to me.
Yes I will watch it
I will watch. I am a big fan of Mike and molly and hate it went off. Still watch reruns. Billy is funny.
This seems like a fake trailer for a Funny Or Die parody….I don’t see anyway this doesn’t get cancelled after 1 short season….It’s gonna be a “No” for me dawg!!!!
Funny I will watch
Yes, it looks interesting.
Lorre has a contract to deliver on and Gardell’s talent is being sacrificed to fulfill that agreement.
I agree with you.
Yes I would definitely watch it!
Hard to say what to think of it until we watch it.?
D.O.A.
this is the plot from a bad Lifetime movie of the week from 20 yrs ago – PASS
Looks like a hit. Another Chuck Lorre winner.
