  2. #Watching #BobHeartsAbishola on HBO (australia)

    i’ve been waiting for a chance to see this sitcom, and i’m not disappointed. one of the creators/writers is gina yashere, a UK comic who can make people laugh without punching down, and her style of humour is what drives this show.

    like the “you don’t have to be jewish” franchise in USA, and the “wog” franchise in australia, the humour in bob hearts abishola is a warm hug, embracing the family focused quirks and human foibles of a distinct cultural group. (i could always do without canned laughter, but nothing is perfect.)

    premise:

    Bob Wheeler runs his family's successful, highly competitive compression sock medical supply company in Detroit with his widowed mother Dottie and his younger twin siblings, Christina and Douglas. When the stress of the job lands Bob in Woodward Memorial Hospital, due to a mild heart attack, he is immediately drawn to Abishola Adebambo, his kind, hardworking Nigerian nurse. Despite their differences, Bob falls in love with Abishola and sets his sights on getting her to give him a chance.

Just cancelled my @paramountpictures.bsky.social subscription an hour ago, didn't want to, it hurt, my apologies to @startrek.bsky.social and all the great programming, I stopped watching most of #CBS after they canceled #BobHeartsAbishola, #UnitedStatesofAl and #TBBT ended but! It's #ForColbert.

  4. Positive Role Models for the Overweight

    Mike and Molly was a television show that tried to have positive role models with its two overweight leads. They both meet at an Overeaters Anonymous and end up having a romance. That romance is complicated by all their friends and relatives.

    Molly was played by the very successful Melissa McCarthy. Mike was played by Billy Gardell who went on to play Bob in Bob Hearts Abishola.

    The interesting thing about Bob Hearts Abishola is that Bob is initially a very heavy set man but loses a lot of weight, right before our eyes as the show proceeds.

    That weight loss may have felt like a betrayal for some viewers who might be overweight and happy to see a second love story for a very heavy set man. However, right from Mike and Molly, we were introduced to Billy Gardell’s character as having been someone who wants to lose weight at overeaters anonymous. Isn’t that a natural progression to losing weight? Especially since the second series scares Billy Gardell’s character with a heart attack.

    Rebel Wilson was a bit of a heroine for heavy set women. Until she had her year of health in 2020 and started exercising up to 2 ½ hours a day (mainly walking). She also had a low sugar/high protein diet, was flexible with eating (allowing some cheats), used Ozempic for some of it, and focused on health and not just weight loss.

    Anyhow she did it and now people see a thinner, healthier woman and not the body positive role model for the overweight. The same with Adele and Kelly Clarkson.

    Many celebrities, if overweight, reach a point where they have enough money and time to do something about their bodies. And most do, now that there are effective weight loss drugs.

    Meghan Trainor is most famous for her song, “All About That Bass” where bass stood for excess weight. But I guess she wasn’t all about her fan base. She credits Mounjaro with doing some of the most heavy lifting in her weight loss. Now she, too, is a thin person.

    I’m just waiting for Ashley Graham, the body positive, overweight model to shed some pounds. That I think will be the last time that people will not see that money and time will almost certainly lead to weight loss in the overweight. That and the vanity of being a celebrity.

  6. No spoiler but the first half of the #BobHeartsAbishola series finale was a waste of time. Glad the series is over. Plots were getting subpar. They wasted a good opportunity writing that entire sitcom. They rushed the wedding in the earlier seasons, like they did with Mike and Molly. They squandered a possible few more seasons with earlier plot choices then the plots got dumb and incomplete. The actors and characters did not deserve the last few seasons of plots and writing. They deserved more.

  9. #TV Meanwhile #NCISNewOrleans and #NCISLosAngeles have been canceled b/c their ratings counldn't justify the increasing cost to make the shows. Typically actors get paid more the longer a show runs. Several shows are being renewed b/c the actors have agreed to pay cuts - #BlueBloods, #BobHeartsAbishola...

  10. #CBS is in a generous mood today handing season renewals to #NCIS, #NCISHawaii, #CSIVegas, #Survivor, #TheAmazingRace, #ToughAsNails and #Lingo, joining the already renewed #FireCountry, #SoHelpMeTodd, #Ghosts, #TheNeighborhood, #BobHeartsAbishola, the #FBI franchise, #TheEqualizer and #YoungSheldon. Negotiations are underway for #BlueBloods and #SWAT while #EastNewYork is currently on the bubble, with the performance of #TrueLies probably determining its fate. #television #cbstv

  11. #BobHeartsAbishola has been renewed for a fifth season at #CBS. The fourth season is averaging about 6 million viewers in its Monday timeslot, adding nearly a million more in multi-day, multi-platform viewing. #television #cbstv #paramountplus

  12. Excuse me, #paramountplus? How am I supposed to watch #FBIMostWanted if you don't have it on your site? #Allrise? #FBI? #SWAT? #Bobheartsabishola (I literally would've caught up and watched it but the site didn't have the previous seasons)
