‘Bob Hearts Abishola’ Finale Takes Fans Into the Future (PHOTOS)
It’s the end of an era for Bob Hearts Abishola … in more ways than one. CBS has revealed the first images of the upcoming series finale for the hit sitcom, and it looks like fans are in for a trip into the future.
The episode, which airs on May 6, is titled “Find Your Bench” and takes place seven years in the future. Who knew this beloved Chuck Lorre-created series would end with a little time travel?! We kid.
In the series finale, Bob (Billy Gardell) and Abishola (Fọlákẹ́ Olówófôyekù) will reflect with their friends and family about how far they’ve come and what’s truly important to them as they head into the future.
Reflecting on the upcoming finale, Gardell previously told TV Insider, “It’s like Matt [Ross, executive producer] and Gina [Yashere, executive producer, who plays Kemi] said, ‘You never stop learning. You never stop growing.’ So you can’t just write an episode where you go, ‘And this is how it ends!’ But I do think that there needs to be a satisfying ending like there was in Mike & Molly – they finally had the baby. So I’m sure we’re headed there with this one, too.”

CBS makes no sense. They cancel both Bob heart Abishola and Sheldon when they were some of the highest rated shows but we can keep a million Ncis and fbi shows. They want hits stars they get them and cancel them. So if you fly under the radar with good ratings but better than shows on other networks like So Help Me Todd they cancel you too. It seems to me unless your show is about violence/action related or reality tv Cbs isn’t interested in keeping your show on tv. Personally, I want my tv to be an escape not a reflection of all the bad. If I wanted that I could just watch the news.

I am sad that “Bob Hearts Abishola” is ending. I will sorely miss this show. It has been a great hilarious ride. I have enjoyed every episode. Truly fun.

It’s funnier now than when it started. What is wrong with CBS! Are they trying to get rid of their CBS audience?

I agree with others, too many police, FBI, terrible shows...nothing with DECENT comedy. CBS needs a new leader. No wonder our world a mess....they encourage shootings, drugs, kidnapping, through their shows. Definitely not family oriented.

I agree with everyone. We need the shows that will make you laugh. That's what's wrong with the world today, full of depression and no laughter.

Let's be honest. This is no longer the slogan "who's the best, CBS" There are no longer great comedies left to watch on this channel now that BHEARTSA is ending. I was sooo rooting for this show to see at least 7+ years. I grew to love all these characters. The story lines were "that good" from the gate. What on earth is wrong with you'all? Don't you like comedies anymore? Are you that depressed these days, fixated on shoot em up and reality shows. Thank goodness for streaming services with great choices even if the choices are 30 years old.

Was really hoping Bob Hearts Abishola would be on as long as TBBT was. With the full cast.

CBS was my favorite channel this year but now some of my favorite shows are cancelled and I will not be watching CBS's new shows when they air. Too many good shows are going bye bye and being replaced with shows that are not the comedies we need or the shows that are interesting. Bye bye CBS.

I think cancelling Bob ❤️’s Abishola is a big mistake. I loved the diversity of the show. It was also a learning experience of another culture.
