Harvey November 30, 2023 Share November 30, 2023 While I am sad to see it go, I can understand it. The show clearly doesn't know where to go. It focused so much on the sock factory and the establishment of a new factory while no one who watches the show really cares about these things, and they did not make these storylines too much fun. This coupled with giving Goodwin a huge amount of screen time for some mysterious reason caused a huge dip in quality. Meanwhile actually fun characters like Kemi, Olu and Tunde were phased out more and more. While the show eventually figured out how to use Ebun, making her a series regular was a colossal mistake as well. Just horrible decisions all around. My one wish is that they nail the ending. Bob and Abishola deserve that much. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/103567-bob-loves-attention-media-coverage/page/2/#findComment-8225809

Quote “I think there are so many more stories to tell…The initial motivation…was a romance wrapped around a story of immigrants who make America great — that extraordinary, courageous effort that is made by millions of people every year who find their way in this country. I don’t necessarily feel like we were done, but that was not my call.” Acknowledging the news that 11 out of 13 series regulars were bumped to recurring for the final 13 episodes, Lorre explains, “There were fiscal restraints imposed on the show. In order to continue making the show, the cost of making it had to be reined in, and that was the only way to do that. “It’s not my call,” the EP reiterates. “I’m really grateful for the run that we’ve had. Five years has been terrific.”… https://tvline.com/news/young-sheldon-ending-bob-hearts-abishola-cancelled-explained-cbs-1235091495/ Edited December 1, 2023 by shapeshifter 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/103567-bob-loves-attention-media-coverage/page/2/#findComment-8226713

Yeah No December 2, 2023 Share December 2, 2023 It's too bad. I loved the show but it started going downhill especially last season. It kind of jumped the shark when it made Christina into a cleaning person. And I agree with the above that the focus on the sock factory and Goodwin was not the best decision when they had fantastic comedic actors playing Olu, Tunde, Kemi and Gloria. It's also too bad that Lorre won't have any show on network TV for the first time in 20 years. The budget cuts are in my opinion penny-wise and pound-foolish. That said, I looked at the trailer for "Bookie" and it doesn't look like my kind of show and the comments online among fans seem to heavily prefer a Two and a Half Men reboot. I know he has another Big Bang Theory spin-off in the works also for streaming, but no specific details have come out on that yet. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/103567-bob-loves-attention-media-coverage/page/2/#findComment-8227634
