Season 1 Review:
The strong cast deserves better material, but Abby's was created by Superstore co-EP Josh Malmuth. [29 Mar 2019, p.47]

Season 1 Review:
It’s not a wildly funny show--I laughed out loud only a handful of times--but the jokes feel less important than the chance to spend time each week in the company of some appealing goofballs. Fortunately, it’s a likable enough group--Morales and Flynn in particular--to compensate for the mild humor.

Season 1 Review:
Abby's is so familiar it makes “Modern Family” look experimental. ... The cast members all click, with an easy chemistry that makes it seem like they’ve been working together for years. ... There’s something to be said for a show that’s made with confidence, that knows what it wants to be, and is about characters who like each other.

Season 1 Review:
The first impression of Abby’s is one as enticingly unrefined as its central setting. Sitcoms are often acquired tastes; this one just so happens to be reminiscent of the rare exception that tasted good from the very first drop. And while it doesn’t have everyone around the bar figured out, the sight of Morales so at home on a show with her name in the title is worth raising a glass to.

Season 1 Review:
Early wobbliness aside, Abby’s is not a show to dismiss. There is so much potential in its creators and cast (Neil Flynn is so good as Fred), and even though its experiment doesn’t seem to have come together quite yet, there is a well-established history of comedies like this that have taken some time to find themselves.

Season 1 Review:
It’s not hard to imagine that Abby’s could become a welcome regular on NBC’s blossoming comedy schedule given its promising cast and crew. But as it stands right now, show just needs some more time, inventive punchlines, and commitment to what makes it different from what’s come before in order to truly get there.
