Bob Hearts Abishola

Bob Hearts Abishola shows promise and may just be worth watching so long as the characters remain somewhat authentic and it doesn't collapse into the usual tired cliches.

There is the beginning of a hopefully long story here.

I like this new series. I've been a fan of Billy Gardell for awhile now. M & M just cemented his line timing and sense of humor for me. It's got some good lines, some good jokes and very good timing on delivery of those jokes. I'm undecided on the aunt and uncle yet but I like Abishola and her son both. I even like her co-workers that she talks to about some of the Bob/husband/life things. Vernee Watson-Johnson is one of her co-workers and I've liked her since I saw her in Welcome Back Kotter. There are some strong actors in this show with good scripting and funny, endearing lines. The characters have a real quality about them and the actors are good enough to get you involved in the show.

I really don't know why I still watch this show. Characters I like: Bob and his mother. Abishola's household especially uncle and aunt. The two nurses. The younger Nigerian worker.

Characters I dislike: Abishola is annoyingly demanding. The two siblings are annoyingly spoiled. The older Nigerian worker is annoyingly over acting.

First season was great! But now, Abishola has become overbearing and Bob lets her walk all over him, just to make her " happy". There is no "give" on her side. No interest in watching anymore.

This show stinks, and extremely overrated, it's not funny and it's just a mike and molly rip off
