For six seasons, actor Billy Gardell starred on the Mike & Molly TV show, a CBS sitcom executive produced by Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Two and a Half Men, etc.). Now, Gardell and Lorre are working together again, on Bob ♥ Abishola. Will this comedy also be a success for the network? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A multi-camera sitcom, Bob ♥ Abishola (read as “Bob Hearts Abishola”) stars Billy Gardell, Folake Olowofoyeku, Christine Ebersole, Matt Jones, Maribeth Monroe, Vernee Watson, Shola Adewusi, Travis Wolfe Jr, and Barry Shabaka Henley. Bob (Gardell) owns a very successful compression sock factory in Detroit and runs the business with his mother (Ebersole), his sister (Monroe), and his younger brother (Jones). The stress of the job lands Bob in the hospital with a heart attack and he falls in love with his cardiac nurse named Abishola (Olowofoyeku), an immigrant from Nigeria. She came to America with her young son, Dele (Wolf Jr.) and they live with her Auntie Olu (Adewusi) and Uncle Tunde (Henley). Despite their very different backgrounds and her initial lack of interest, Bob is determined to win Abishola’s heart.

*5/6/20 update: Bob ♥ Abishola has been renewed for a second season.
This is a great show! It has comedy while pulling at our heartstrings. My wife and I wait patiently for the next show while many others we wait until they’re a few and we binge-watch. Please renew or consider making it one hour long!
Best show on tv. Very funny. Do not cancel. We need more humor.
It’s a terrible plot, bad acting, and not funny at all. Please CANCEL!
Wasn’t crazy about the show at first, but it grows on you. The chemistry between Bob and Albishola works!
It’s awful
I love this show. Great family show that the whole family can watch. The characters are great – no violence, minimal sexual innuendo. Thank you for a show i do not have to change the channel on.
Really good series!!
I love the show. I think it shows how love can be found anywhere. I hope that it does not get cancelled.
I think the show is hysterical.hopefully it won’t get cancelled
Gives the audience an inside look into different cultures…Very interesting
I think the show is quite sweet. It is one of only 5 shows I watch regularly.
Wife loves it.
It’s not one of the worst shows been released. This season there’s been a lot of shows new ones that are really bad. But this show could be better but it’s so what’s the word for garbage.

If he didn’t do that maybe the show would be better. The lead actor He’s awesome. And I really hope he gets another chance to prove himself because he’s… Read more »
I couldn’t wait to watch this show, but I had too high of expectations. I have watched all 3 episodes. I saw no chemistry between Bob & Abishola in any of the episodes. Also, I can’t understand a lot of what Abishola and other characters are saying, particularly when they put surgical masks over their faces. I hope it reaches the audience for whom it was intended, but it wasn’t for me.
My son and I like this new comedy. I think it has a lot of potential and it makes us laugh.
