Television and Chuck Lorre–produced comedies in syndication: “The Big Bang Theory,” “Young Sheldon” and “Two and a Half Men.” The show’s logline reads: “‘Bob Hearts Abishola’ is a love story about Bob (Billy Gardell), a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly fell for his cardiac nurse, Abishola (Folake Olowofoyeku), a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack, and set his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola’s lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob was determined to win her heart, and eventually married her, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America.” The final season of “Bob Hearts Abishola” currently airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on CBS and produced by Chuck Lorre Productions in association with Warner Bros.
