Second time around
Producer Chuck Lorre and comedian Billy Gardell are set for a new romance. "Bob Hearts Abishola" has a lot in common with their last collaboration, "Mike and Molly," except this time Gardell's love interest is a Nigerian nurse who is little more reluctant — and a lot crankier — than Melissa McCarthy ever was. Folake Olowofoyeku may not have Oscar nominations in her future, but she's easily in contention to be this fall's breakout star with a world-weary delivery that contrasts nicely with Gardell's earnestness.

Anything goes
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one of TV's longest-running sitcoms, a stunning accomplishment considering it continually dares viewers to be mortally offended. In early episodes of Season 14, one character dons blackface while another embraces Puerto Rican stereotypes. But "Sunny" proves you can still get away with being politically incorrect — as long as you're hilarious.
