Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time in Blogland aka Blogsville, in a  community that once thrived and kept us engaged and entertained, there were trending topics, people sharing random personal happenings and journeys, stories, and suus aka gist.


If once upon a time were now, a trending topic would be the new CBS comedy sitcom series Bob ❤ Abisola, that premiered in September.


I saw it advertised a while ago and just got to watch it for the first time last night.  Abisola is an authentic African/Nigerian.   I used the word authentic purposefully because I remember days gone by when ethnic roles were played by non ethnic actors trying to mimic the accent but the accent was always an epic fail and a mockery (although sometimes funny) of mostly the Jamaican or African accent.  This is not the case however with this show, which was quite refreshing.


Bob ❤ Abisola is a comedic examination of immigrant life in America. "After coming to America from Nigeria to find a better life for herself and her son Dele, Abishola lives in a small apartment with her super-protective relatives, Auntie Olu and Uncle Tunde. Undaunted by Abishola’s lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob is determined to win Abishola’s heart."
