    “Bob” mines race and immigration somewhat in the sort-of-serious way that Lorre’s “Mom” got mileage from addiction and recovery. ... Though Gardell is clearly where the casting began, if there is an Emmy waiting here, it’s for Olowofeyeku, who delivers one of the more remarkably grounded performances I’ve seen in a multi-camera, live-audience comedy.

    Swissvale native Billy Gardell returns in this new Chuck Lorre sitcom that has a slight premise and few laughs, but newcomer Folake Olowofoyeku as Abishola gives an effortless performance that’s equal parts sweet and tart.

    They have zero chemistry. They do not go on a date. They do not say anything funny. Though the laugh track does go bonkers when Olowofoyeku asks Gardell, "Would you like me to insert a catheter in your penis?" At least, I hope it was a laugh track.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I guess Chuck Lorre doesnt want to be remembered for his great success show Big Bang theory... This is the opposite, bad humor a laugh track without anyone really laughing.... A phony cheesy staged dialogue that just fails on so many levels... This is not Lorre's best work. Pls cancel this... I feel bad for the cast they look like they are suffering… Full Review »
