*5/6/20 update: Bob ♥ Abishola has been renewed for a second season.
Thought how in the past Abishola has come across hard–almost like a robot. She seemed to get her way when it came to Bob. For example when they first met for tea he referred to their meeting as a date with her saying it was not a date. Now in the past two weeks she’s referred to that very meeting as their first date. Appreciated the fact that she was the softer person in temperament in this episode. Bob drew the line–you will not tell me how to feel about my ex-wife or we have nothing to talk about! Loved… Read more »
Please, I would like to know the name of the music and artist played at beginning of this weeks episode #18 of Bob Loves Abishola. Episode begins with the music as Kimee is pushing her cart down hallway and she’s jammin’ with that music. Then its played again when she finds out Bob’s exwife is in hospital as she runs down steps to tell Abishola. Then that jammin’ music plays for a third time right before the end as Abishola runs down area to find Kimee to tell her there’s a problem (Bob’s exwife lives in the neighborhood of the… Read more »
Name of the tune is “Zombie” by Feli Kuti.
How did Kemi find out Lorrain’s reason for being in the hospital? Would Abishola tell Kemi but not Bob?
This show is very funny and covers a lot of things going on in today’s world. It’s nice to see dating across cultures and the different parenting styles. I would like to see you more the kid on the show and give his character more of a presence. I definitely could have done without the tub scene though.
I agree and is Kemi enjoying throwing the fact that she’s sleeping with Chewy in his mother’s face so satisfying? There’s something wrong with that and wouldn’t mind if the writers would drop that subplot.
Also, as much as Kemi has given me chuckles I find it troubling that she’s sneaking into the apartment Chewy shares with his Mom. Abishola told her there’s something wrong with this guy who’s still living with his mother. Makes one wonder how old is Chewy. Kemi is a widowed grandmother and crawling in and out of their apartment is plain trashy. Appears to be an effort by the writers to legitimize or justify Kemi and Chewy’s relationship. Noticed this especially in the episode entitled “A Big White Thumb”. At church Chewy tells Bob he’s happy the way the relationships… Read more »
I really wanted to love this show and I do love Bob and his family but I find Abishola rude and dull most of the time. Her character is sour and demanding and she is horrible to her son. I’m sure it is a cultural thing but I just don’t feel chemistry between the couple
That’s the reason why I hope Bob and Abishola can “up” their relationship. Know it won’t change her personality but she may not be so “wound up” and abrasive. Think about it–it’s been eight years since she been “touched”.
Respect the culture.
It is a shame that a good show like bob heart abashola has to start to get nasty. Keep it clean with out the sexual over tones.
Up to this point I found Kemi funny but this last episode where Kemi seemed determined to throw it in Ogechi’s face that she having sexual relations with her son very unsettling. What self respecting woman would do that? It was painful seeing the delight on Kemi’s face as she seemed to push that fact home. Can understand her wanting Chukwuemeka to show some backbone regarding his mother but she’s going about it the wrong way. Does she really like “Chuey” or is she satisfied getting on Ogehi’s nerves? I’m with you Treash, the show is good enough without the… Read more »
ILOVE BOB HEARTS ABISHOLA!!! I have watched all of the episodes several times!!! It is a sweet, poignant show! Everyone is excellent!!! PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT!!!
It is sweet!
It is a 10! Really, really, lovely
Please renew this show. It makes me laugh out loud every week. I love all the characters …Bob’s family, Abeshola’s family and friends and the two Nigerian employees at the sock company. Each of the characters are hilarious in their own right. I don’t usualy like sitcoms but I love this show.
Know what you mean. I get a minimum of three laugh out loud moments an episode! Certain scenes you THINK about which leave you laughing. For example when ( Bob, Douglas and Christina are listening to the nanny cam) Dottie asked Abishola for a favor– give her a grandchild before she died. Laughed so hard I had to stop the recording until I finished laughing. Would have loved to have heard Abishola’s response to Dottie’s request! LOL
My husband and I love this show – a great laugh on Monday nights. This is an original new idea for once with a great cast. My personal favorites are Abishola’s Aunt & Uncle, but Bob’s mom is hilarious too. I love the idea of this couple struggling to decide how their relationship will work, and all of the funny scenarios that come into play. Lorre has a great idea with this show and I hope enough folks will tune in and see its originality and humor. Keep em coming!!
This is one of the best series I have seen in a long time. In order not to miss an episode I started tapping them. I am so disappointed that all I see are reruns. I had looked forward to how Bob and Abishola would finally get together. The characters are so funny and the story is a heartwarming break from the violence in other shows.
I really like this show! I love Bob’s mom!!! The more I watch, the more the characters grow more entertaining. Keeper!
My husband and I love this show, it’s funny, warm, surprising, an almost miracle cure for our moods after the politics of the day. Love the characters, the smart repartee and the wonderful humor. Please keep this show on.
This show is hilarious! Please keep it on! Never miss an episode!
This is a fantastic show! Not big on television comedies yet this show is notches above the fray. Watching each episode I find myself laughing out loud and not necessarily because of gotcha punch lines but because the writing enables us to experience the characters in 3-D. Bob is a respectable sweet guy hit hard by the love bug and his persistence in wooing Abishola is a joy to watch. She in a later episode admits she liked him “a little bit” when she first met him yet I believe she is afraid. Thought it interesting in the bus scene… Read more »
Love, love, love this show…laugh so much I have to rewatch it. Sometimes I rewatch episodes because they are so ooo funny. Please don’t cancel!!!!!!!
