Reba McEntire is back in our homes with her new sitcom, Happy’s Place, and it’s already making waves across Friday night television! With NBC picking up a full season after just five episodes, it’s clear that viewers can’t get enough of McEntire’s charm, even if it’s mixed with a dash of sibling rivalry and barroom antics. The show follows Bobbie, played by Reba, as she grapples with the newfound reality of owning her late father’s bar while also discovering she has a half-sister named Isabella. You can imagine the hilarious tensions that arise when two people with wildly different management styles try to run a bar together!
The supporting cast brings in familiar faces from McEntire’s past, including Melissa Peterman and Steve Howey, which adds a sprinkle of nostalgia to the mix. Plus, seeing Reba working alongside her real-life boyfriend, Rex Linn, is a heartwarming touch. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to watch a sitcom that’s practically a family reunion every week? The show is averaging around 3.5 million viewers, and let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to tune in for a fun night out… uh, I mean, night in?
Happy’s Place is McEntire’s third venture into sitcoms, and while her previous shows have had varying degrees of success, this one seems to have struck quite the chord. The witty banter, colorful characters, and classic comedic mishaps create a recipe for a great family viewing experience. After all, there’s nothing quite like a little family drama to bring us all together, right? Now, if only we could all get a free drink while we’re at it!
