Reba

Overall, this a pretty well written show with interesting characters. Reba leads the charge as a recently divorced woman who's still on good terms with her 'ex', played by Christopher Rich, and his new wife, whether Reba likes it or not. Wholesome but still funny.

Reba McEntire makes a bold and decent foray into the sitcom world with this gem. She plays a lady who is in the midst of a divorce when she finds out that her soon-to-be-ex has made his hygenist pregnant, while Reba's teenage daughter is also pregnant and married to a high school football star. There are some wonderfully funny and touching moments in this show, and I like it.

Single mother of three, Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) is a Texan soccer-mom who's husband left her for another woman. Reba's oldest daughter has a teen pregnancy, while her youngest daughter deals with puberty. And all the while, her son's main concern is being able to go over to his friend's to spend the night.

Reba, she went through a divorce, she's a grandmother (that makes her sound so old!), she's got 3 kids and a son-in-law, and on top of all that, she has to deal with her ex-husband's current wife.

Reba McEntire shines brightly in her show, proving that she can act, and she does have comedic timing.

The cast was picked perfectly. Everyone does an excellent job and they really put themselves into their character.

I'm glad I watched this show when I was young because it's a comfort show for me now in my 30s. It's hokey and some of the acting is eh but it's enjoyable.

Garcia and Howey are amazing in their roles as Cheyenne and Van, and could not have been better cast. This applies also to Peterman who did a great job as Barbra Jean, someone you wanted to hate but just couldn't. Reba also did a fantastic job.

The rest of the cast is ok, but none of them were perfect for the roles they played.

It's a typical feel-good sitcom and those are nice to watch now and then. I also enjoyed seeing Park Overall in the earlier episodes and wish she would have stayed on more regularly.

I did not expect much from the initial presentation of 'Reba' but was staggered to find that I became slowly captivated by the show and it's characters. It is such a joy to watch. Yes, it's not an Emmy Award winning comedy but what it lacks in strong writing it makes up with great actors who obviously love what they do. You can see the pleasure in the actors faces when you watch them on screen and that is a rarity in television today. The actually love what they do and it shows.

Reba McEntire has grown in this role and it shows and her 2004 Golden Globe Nomination for Best Actress shows that this is the truth. And Melissa Peterman steals the show every week as Barbara Jean…you have to love her. Step back, let go and enjoy a fun, pleasurable show. At the end of the day, it's entertainment!
