4.0 out of 5 stars Reba McEntire plays divorced mother of three, March 29, 2005

This review is from: Reba - Season 1 (DVD)

This is very popular sitcom on WB network that stars country crooner Reba McEntire as divorced mother of three. The network made a bold move to air this sitcom that stars Reba McEntire her debut on a TV show, and the gamble paid off. It is a very successful show on the network and very popular among young and old.

There are 22 episodes of the first season on three discs. At the center of the show is Reba who balances her single life with three kids; the eldest being married to her high school sweetheart and her some what challenging younger daughter Kyra and her only son Jake. In one episode we learn that Reba Hart and husband Brock have broken up, Brock's mistress (in a later episode she becomes his wife) Barbra Jean, and Reba's eldest daughter Cheyenne are pregnant. The story revolves around the family of Reba and how she solves the problems of life in funny and humorous way. The emotional attachment of her ex husband Brock to Reba is strong, and this is evident in several episodes. He frequently visits her for advice about his little worries and frustrations in his life. His new wife Barbara Jean also seeks emotional support from Reba in her needs, yet at the some time annoys her whenever she can. While coping with her own divorce, Reba keeps busy helping Cheyenne and her husband Van set up their lives as newlyweds. There are several episodes in the first season which turn out be the best of the series. Reba McEntire does a wonderful job in the number one spot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Divorce, marriage and family, November 5, 2004

This review is from: Reba - Season 1 (DVD)

Family is the focus of most sitcoms, but few have the weirdness level of "Reba." But then, few suburban families have quite the chaos level that Reba's family does. A look at young marriage, impending divorce, reentering the singles life and "other women," this is a surprisingly funny and touching show.

Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) and her husband Brock (Christopher Rich) are separated due to his midlife crisis. But Reba receives a nasty shock when Brock announces that he's going to divorce her and marry his perky, dizzy assistant, Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterman) -- because she's pregnant. Even worse, Reba finds out that her daughter Cheyenne (Joanna Garcia) is also pregnant by hunky football-star boyfriend Van (Steve Howey).

Things don't get much better after Brock moves out, and Van and Cheyenne get married. The newlyweds struggle with slimy in-laws and unforgiving schools, bare bottoms and morning sickness. And Reba has to deal with her disintegrating family, dumb blonde Barbara Jean, sullen teenager Kyra (Scarlett Pomers), wedding hysteria, and the daunting idea of dating new men after twenty years of marriage.

The "ordinary" family is only present in bits and pieces in "Reba" -- we have the young newlyweds, the son-in-law, the nasty in-laws, the former wife, the new wife, the half-siblings, the grandkid, and the cheating husband. But in a time with high divorce rates, it seems to reflect the trials and tribulations of a family divided and patched together by divorce and family ties.

Like all sitcoms, it takes weird situations and runs with them, like Cheyenne going into labor during graduation, or Reba accidently sewing her pants to Barbara Jean's wedding dress. It has quite a bit of physical and verbal humor; nothing too special, but quite funny anyhow.

Reba McEntire makes this sitcom, with her flexible face and slightly wild physical humor, and is backed up in that by Peterman's wonderfully overdone Barbara Jean. Garcia and Howey have excellent chemistry as the ideal students-turned-teen-parents, and Rich is alternately slimy and endearing as Reba's semi-repentent ex.

With its non-traditional family theme and McEntire's funny/heartwarming performances, "Reba" becomes a bit more than your average sitcom. And the first season is definitely worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN INTELLIGENT FAMILY SITCOM, January 2, 2005

By 

Nicole K. (Western Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Reba - Season 1 (DVD)

I am a big fan of this show. You do not have to like country music or country music culture at all to get this show which in which the characters can be sarcastic without being cruel and sweet without being over-the-top nauseous. The show treats the viewers as intelligent people - unlike most sitcoms which throw around cruel, sarcastic oneliners (Everybody DOES NOT love Raymond) or are so sugar-coated/heart-warming a person wants to vomit. All-around entertaining, smart tv for the whole family OR the single person.
