After a long wait, Abby's premiered on NBC Thursday night. The new series is a multi-camera sitcom shot in front of a live outdoor audience. Abby's revolves around Abby (Natalie Morales), who operates a self-named illegal bar right in her backyard.

Surrounding Abby are the frequent bar visitors who eventually turned into her friends; Fred (Neil Flynn), an ex-Marine who takes his drinking seriously, Beth (Jessica Chaffin) a mother who lives next door to Abby and spends most of her time at the bar avoiding her family, James (Leonard Ouzts), a cowardly and friendly bouncer, Rosie (Kimia Behpoornia), the talkative bartender and finally, Bill (Nelson Franklin), Abby's new uptight landlord who inherited the property from his aunt who passed away recently.
