Series Description:
This sitcom follows Reba Hart (Reba McEntire), a sharp-witted, smart and single mom living in a Houston suburb. Her dentist ex-husband Brock (Christopher Rich) left her to marry a flaky dental hygienist named Barbra Jean Booker (Melissa Peterman) who bizarrely believes Reba is her best friend.

Behind the Scenes
|
|
| • | Though the series was the highest-rated sitcom on CW, the network felt that it didn’t fit their desired demographic. The final episode was produced prior to the cancellation notice and was designed to give some closure just in case it became the series’ last. |
|
|
| • | In the May 30, 2007 issue of Variety, 20th Century Fox TV president Gary Newman lamented that the series wasn’t allowed to reach its potential. He said, “The WB didn’t really know how to communicate with advertisers or expand their audience to make it work. I’m convinced that it could have been a big hit on CBS or ABC.” |

I LOVE Reba. I can watch it all day I’m addicted! Bring Reba back! I’d be beyond happy
Oh man I wish it would come back on I truly love it I know that that statement may make me sound crazy and I know that but I’m a Reba girl:-)
I have all six seasons on DVD and watch them over and over again. I never get tired of watching it. It is hard to believe this was Steve Howey’s first acting job. He was phenomenal as Van and always nakes me laugh. Wish they would have a reunion show. That would b so great!
I loved the show, it was one I could watch with the whole family. It was wholesome, that’s probably why they cancelled it, they would rather put smut on tv. I always laugh and watch the reruns All the time. I sometimes record them and then have me a marathon. I really wish they had a follow up on the cast atleast, especially if they are not going to bring it back.
Love Reba here in S.C. have since i was a kids (80’s) More Reba shes great
Love love love the show, i really wish it was still on, great cast, i would have watched a Van & Cheyenne runoff . But at least keep the reruns going.
I still watch the reruns of Reba,in fact I just got through watching about 2 hours of them.wish she was back on tv.
I wish they would bring Reba back too. Im not liking her new show shes in. Its okay but this one is better.
loved rebas show in the afternoon, she was against ellen where I live in s.c. also love gilmore girls , pretty little liars, bun heads, switched at birth…..HATE WHEN YOU KEEP CHANGING THE TIME THEY ARE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and please do not make me watch any more Harry Potter
[…] McEntire’s Reba sitcom lasted for six seasons. Will Malibu Country and get great ratings and last as long or […]
Reba’s show helped a lot of families relate to things that were going on in their own crazy world. Her character showed how to be gracious, strict, loving and how to survive. It is a show the whole family could sit down and watch, laugh and maybe help to get a little insight into their own crazy world. It showed kids that families change but that doesn’t mean the parents don’t love them just as much as they always have. I wish they would bring Reba back. It helped so many people more than the rating could ever show.
your show made me laugh and cry i watched it every day it was hilarious ! PLz bring reba back!!
I LOVE your show a LOT Sarah Buy.
Reba mcentrie love the show Reba with you’re kids
