Following the renewal of freshman comedy series A.P. Bio, NBC has picked up two new comedy shows for the 2018-2019 season: ABBY’S and I FEEL BAD.
ABBY’S is set in an unlicensed bar in San Francisco, run by Abby herself. The bar is described as the complete opposite of today’s party scene. There’s no cell phones, you have to earn a seat at the bar, and losing a bet means you have to drink a “non-beer” drink. The cast includes Natalie Morales, Nelson Franklin, Kimia Behpoornia, Jessica Chaffin, Leonard Ouzts and Neil Flynn.
Meanwhile, I FEEL BAD follows Emet, a woman who is described as the perfect mother, friend, daughter, wife and boss. Only she’s not as perfect as everyone thinks. Case in point: she has dreams about men who aren’t her husband, she pretends her children are strangers when they misbehave in public, and she calls on her staff to solve personal problems. The cast includes Sarayu Blue, Paul Adelstein, Aisling Bea, Zach Cherry, Johnny Pemberton and James Buckley.
