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.

This is the first comedy I have really liked in some long time please continue it.
Great show. I tape the whole series. So refreshing for this day and time.I love the characters.
This is the best TV show…. ever! Love it.
Love this show!!!
Bob loves Abishola is boring , I don’t think that the characters have any connection together . I hope they’re are not renewed. And Bobs family are dumb .
I agree!! plus sometimes it’s hard for a viewer to watch a favorite sitcom actor take on another part. Movies yes…. depending on changed sitcom no

Love the show, which It last one hr. Instead of 30 minutes.
Please don’t cancel Bob❤ Abishola, I love this show. It’s different, funny, and it’s CLEAN!!!!! Keep new episodes coming.
Ebersole, as a stroke victim, is nauseating to watch via her pretended jaw twitch…her character needs to go away if this otherwise pleasant comedy is to survive the ratings game.
I really LIKE the show … mom and siblings need COMPLETE character rework for me to love it ( and I want to love it)
Those 3 characters really ruin it for me
