Review of Abby's

Abby's (2019)

A fill-in show for the mid-season, from Josh Malmuth, known for New Girl and Superstore, and not much else.

The lead, Natalie Morales, has been on a number of shows and movies, some comedy, some dramas. I remember her most from the twelve episode run she had on White Collar.

It is slightly confusing, since there is another Natalie Morales, who is best known as one of the co-anchors of the Today show, and a co-host of Access Hollywood

Unfortunately, there is not a lot of humor here. They waste the talents of Neil Flynn, who deserves a show of his own.

As someone else noticed, the laugh-track is very annoying. It has the effect of underscoring that the jokes aren't that funny.

'The Orville' is a repeat again next week, so I may give the show another try.

A generous 5, hoping they will improve.

They appear to have already shot all thirteen episodes. It will be interesting if they all make it to air in this time-slot.
