BET To Air Select Episodes Of CBS Series ‘All Rise,’ ‘The Neighborhood’ & ‘Bob ♥️ Abishola’
In a further show of synergy between all of the ViacomCBS brands, BET and CBS are teaming up to air select episodes of the CBS series All Rise, The Neighborhood, and Bob ♥️ Abishola. The shows will air on BET on Friday, Nov. 13 ahead of their new season premieres on CBS.
This comes as the latest move to connect the ViacomCBS brands. Earlier this year, the BET Awards aired on CBS for the first time ever, and Showtime rebranded one of its premium splinter networks to SHOxBET.
Check out official descriptions of the episodes below:
THE NEIGHBORHOOD (8:00-8:30 pm, ET/PT)
“Welcome to Soul Food” – The Butlers and Johnsons decide to go on a double-date and everyone gets more than they bargained for at a new restaurant. Also, Grover invites Malcolm and Marty to be the first guests on his new podcast (originally broadcast 10/21/19). The series stars Cedric the Entertainer, Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Tichina Arnold, Sheaun McKinney, Marcel Spears, and Hank Greenspan.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD is a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy (Max Greenfield) in the Midwest moves his family, the Johnsons, to a neighborhood in Los Angeles next door to Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer) and family, where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness.
BOB ♥️ ABISHOLA (8:30-9:00 pm, ET/PT)
“The Canadians of Africa” – Abishola doesn’t appreciate it when Bob gives her unsolicited parenting advice about her “unhappy son.” (Originally broadcast 1/20/20).

From award-winning creator, executive producer, and writer Chuck Lorre and co-creator Gina Yashere, BOB ♥ ABISHOLA is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over.
ALL RISE (9:00-10:00 pm, ET/PT)
“Pilot” – A courthouse drama that follows the chaotic, hopeful, and sometimes absurd lives of its judges, prosecutors, and public defenders, as they work with bailiffs, clerks, and cops to get justice for the people of Los Angeles amidst a flawed legal process. Among them is newly appointed Judge Lola Carmichael (Simone Missick), a highly regarded and impressive deputy district attorney who doesn’t intend to sit back on the bench in her new role, but instead leans in, immediately pushing the boundaries and challenging the expectations of what a judge can be. (Originally broadcast 9/23/19). The series stars Simone Missick, Wilson Bethel, Marg Helgenberger, Jessica Camacho, J. Alex Brinson, Lindsay Mendez, and Ruthie Ann Miles.
