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.

Bob hearts Abishila is fresh and authentic. It is a joy to watch. Please renew.
I haven’t seen it advertised lately…did they finally cancel this train wreck?
Best sitcom cbs has aired in I don’t know how long. PLEASE renew it! I love it and look forward to every Monday!
I look forward to this show every Monday, and I haven’t missed an episode. The casting and writing is superb. What are the odds off me adoring the entire cast?The lines are realistic, and yes, I can image this happening in real life. Why? My family is a melting pot of races and cultures.
I really, really love the show.it’s not much to look forward to watch on a Monday but I guys have me a reasons for not being in bed by 8 oclock.
I love this show. It has been a long time since a show has made me laugh so hard. And this is a great topic they are attracted to each other for just who they are. Not because of their race. What two people could be more different. Yet so attracted to each other. It’s great please don’t cancel. I love this show.
I love the show and hope it’s renewed for a second season
A group of us like to watch this new show which is lighthearted, funny, awesomely well written, entertaining, ,interesting, We believe you should keep this show on. The fine lineup of all actors and actresses are very professional, believable and very comical. The storyline is
different but real and great. All human nature reactions that are revealed in the show are just laughable and enjoyable. Please keep this show on without interrupting. . .We look forward to watching it every week.
Please renew Bob ♥️ Abishola. It is sweet and very funny. We need shows like this one.
It funny from 0-10 it’s 3
it more like cornball Tyler Perry tv show. It like meets the Browns . It be cancel next year
He was more funny on Mike & Molly, It not one of my favorite comedy shows in last 5 seasons. I wish they reboot Mike & Molly called it Mike & Molly New Adventures ! I believed this will be cancel in April or May ! I want miss it playing up to stereotypes . Rich white man chasing a foriegn born woman. Who working to make a living !
Her family is hilarious… so is her friend.
I do think it funny show it has some moments but few of them. I do it good chance it could br cancel. Why do shows always have Caucasian males with a minority woman, why be minorities men with Caucasian women those are very few of them. I would like to see George Lopez married to Caucasian woman with 3 kids in Beverly Hills. It could be funny.
