Reba: Season Six and 13 New Episodes…But Will They Air?

The cast of Reba, that has been savedAs reported here, the WB’s top-rated comedy Reba was not scheduled to make the jump to the new CW network – even though it had been given a two season renewal agreement last year. It was expected that, because of the agreement, FOX would be paid one way or the other. One source put the penalty as high as $20 million, including compensating the studio for lost syndication revenue.

The new CW schedule has been announced and Reba is not on it. But, in a last minute reprieve, the CW has reportedly placed an order for a sixth season comprised of 13 new episodes. When will they air or will they air at all? It’s hard to say but, considering the production costs and the sitcom’s high WB ratings, my best guess would be that the show will be brought back to the airwaves as a midseason replacement.

Will more episodes be ordered? Time will tell. Stay tuned! TV Series Finale home page

I think this is a poorly made decision! Reba is on of the best shows on TV and I think this is the worst decision anyone can make. I know Reba is going back on tour but you can at least start again when she returns. I have heard Reba say on more than one interview that this show is one of her favorites doing and all the cast love each other. I think the show should be aired with NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Please put Reba on. My kids love this series almost as much as I do. I think CW is making a huge mistake not putting it on the air. It’s such a great show that I have even gotten my husband into watching it-even without me!

I may be only twelve, but I cannot live without Reba. I’ve been watching it since I was eight and fell in love with it. They need to keep Reba because without, I won’t have anything to watch from six to eight.

I really love this show! I watch it everyday when I get home from work, it is my peace of mind. I want to see more of Shyann’s baby. I want Reba to find somone that fits into her life and makes her happy. You can’t stop new epidodes I would not have anything to look foward to.
