Happy's Place

Ok, viewers are not stupid. In what planet does a woman find a lost sister who is 40 years younger? How about 10 years or even 15. I had trouble watching it after this reveal. And of course we must be politically correct with diversity out the ying Yang. We have an indigenous, Hispanic, OCD , and I sure a trans person will show up. I say ditch the sister and do a sitcom that makes sense . Reba was a bit too manic on the first episode and Melissa is working her groove. Rex Lind seems lost . But I will continue to watch for now and hope the producers change the list sister bit . It just does not work .

I adore Reba and loved the shows Reba and Malibu Country. I was very much looking forward to the new show. Happy's Place falls very short. The biggest problem for me is the character of the newly discovered sister. She waltzes in like an entitled brat and insists on doing things her way. The bar has been run for years without her and before demanding changes, perhaps lay low, get to know everyone slowely and learn the ins and outs. Then perhaps discuss ideas with Bobby. I'm not sure if it's the character I don't like or the actress; maybe a bit of both. I like all the other actors a lot. Unfortunately, it's the writing that is holding the show back. There's really not a character I want to know more about or even care about. The three men, cook, bookkeeper and the tall guy (I'm not sure of his job) are my favorites.

The show however, is missing something. It's just doesn't come together as an enjoyable show that I want to sit down and watch. As much as I love Reba, I'm removing the show from "my list" and record area.

Well I was excited when I found out about the new show. I just watched the pilot, and I enjoyed it with my 15-year-old daughter (she loves Reba). I don't understand the comparison to Cheers or Friends, I loved both of those shows but this is a different time. It's not supposed to be anything like either of those. Reba has her own style and her shows can be watched by young and old. Watch it and see what you think. By the way the sitcom Reba was hilarious! We still watch the reruns and laugh out loud! I'm looking forward to Happys Place getting better with each episode. We will be watching every week.

My entire family wanted so much for this to be excellent. We love sitcoms and we love Reba, so had high hopes. Most of the characters are interesting and entertaining. Unfortunately, we find the little sister character to be unlikeable to the point of not wanting to watch the show. Our recommendation is for Bobbie to buy her out and send her off to the Peace Corps or something, and change the direction of the show to focus on Bobbie moving forward from her father's death and his betrayal with the support of the remaining zany cast of characters. We doubt Happy's Place will survive to see a second season in its current iteration. (We suspect the producers are trying to draw in Gen Z with the little sister character. We don't see them watching this show with or without her.)

This cast is too small.

Making the sister this young is ridiculous. She is also boring.

Love the way Rex is playing the cook & Rebas go-to & Melissa is excellent as always but the rest of the cast is a big yawn.

Some people are probably hoping for a revamp of her old show Reba. Some may be wondering even why Melissa Peterman wasn't made the sister.

A good twist would be if in a few episodes we realize the papers got mixed up & Melissa is the REAL sister. Now that would be funny! Love the set & premise of this show but so far I think it's just ok.

I will give it one more episode & if it doesn't get better Im done.
