When I first heard that Reba was coming out with a new show, I thought, "Oh great, another musician turning into acting". I also didn't like the idea of having a show about a pregnant high school student. BUT...I gave it a shot and wow, what an amazing show. Reba was so funny, as the rest of the cast. As I am sitting here watching the reruns, I'm saddened by the realization that the show ended. Such an underrated show. I think if Fox ABC or NBC had aired the show, it would have lasted longer. The show had a teenage high school student who was pregnant but they did not glamorize it like I thought they would. The show brought real struggles teen moms and dads face, as well as other issues that parents/kids/teens face. Reba's smart witted comebacks and comments towards Barbara Jean are hilarious. I give a show a 10 because it was funny as heck, and very entertaining. I miss you, Reba!!
... View MoreI pretty much liked every character on this show from the start except Reba herself. She comes off as an holier than thou type and quite frankly a big Bully. And that stinks because she is in every scene and every episode. In the later seasons Van becomes unlikeable too,like a spoof of his former self. and Kyra walks around sneering and being miserable.The first 3 to 4 seasons are pretty good if you overlook Reba. Towards the end its pretty bleak.. In basically every episode Barbara jean Is walking around being dumb,Reba is being mean to her,but poor Ole Barbara jean desperately wants Reba to like her which results in Barabara jean telling Reba how awesome she is in every episode. I think it is pretty clear to see Reba has self esteem issues and wants to be seen as this all forgiving saint. Its really a shame too because other than her the show had such potential.
... View MoreDuring my 4 months stay in US for some business work, I got a chance to watch some of the old episodes of this TV series. I'd say that I liked this, It made me laugh.I read some of the comments and people may like or dislike it. Everyone has got their own opinion. What appeal to me may not have the same thrilling impact to every other person. Everyone has got the different level of maturity level. And that drives the ability to extract the comedy out of the ordinary situation and enjoy. Reba is one of those series that has got that family flavor and comedy is inherent.All characters have got good timing, very critical to make a good comedy. Story is woven around the day to day situation in a family. I would not say more but I miss all this in my country India where we still get to watch the pathetic television serials. Other than this, I got a chance to enjoy 'Friends', 'Desperate Housewives', 'Everybody loves Raymond', Seinfeld' etc.When I look at all this series as an outsider, I get to know more about this wonderful country US. The way they blend the comedy with family drama gives it a totally different flavor.
... View MoreI never did watch "Reba" for the longest time. I had no idea why. Then one day I left it on the show and just was kind of half-watching it. And it was love at first show."Reba" follows a rather hectic family that you can most definitely relate to.The very talented Reba McEntire plays Reba Hart who is the mother of 3 children. She divorced her husband after finding out he was having an affair with his dental assistant, while Cheyenne, (played by the gorgeous Joanna Garcia) the oldest of the 3 kids, becomes pregnant at 17 and marries Van who is a goofy, but sweet, loving dad and husband.Kyra (Scarlett Pomers) is the loner of the family. She's the middle child and although she is rude and sarcastic, she still maintains a lovable feel about her.Then there's Jake who's the youngest. He doesn't have big parts in the shows, but you still see he has some talent. Especially as he grows up he becomes better and better.Brock, Reba's ex-husband, is definitely a screw-up but he still makes things right. Reba, I think, still has a grudge against him for marrying his dental assistant Barbara Jean.Barbara Jean is probably the best out of all of the cast. She plays the ditsy blonde who adores Reba. And, of course, Reba can't stand her.Toss all of this together and you have yourself one of the best show of all time. The acting is wonderful, the plots are hilarious, and everything is perfectly played out.I hope this show goes on for several seasons...it deserves it.
