What's On Tonight (Monday): Adios, Abishola

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is Bob Hearts Abishola, ending its run amid a night of season and series finales on CBS. Come to think of it, CBS Monday follows a pattern. The Neighborhood, renewed. Bob Hearts Abishola, ending. NCIS, renewed. NCIS: Hawai'i, ending.


While I reflect on how Welcome Back, Kotter also ended its run after 95 episodes, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, May 6. All times are EST.
