Reba Season 6, April 26, 2009
Please release Season 6 in Full Screen!
Why on Earth did they cancel this show? I compare this show to the likes of Lucy! It should have been shown on the mainstream TV channels. Funny, entertaining and a joy to watch. It will bring laughter into your home. There are not many shows that our entire family can sit down and enjoy together. The writers of this series are phenomenal!
All characters blend together to make this one of the best comedies in TV history! I'm so tired of reality shows that have consumed the airways. I fear shows like Reba will disappear into the sunset, and our society needs the laughter shows like this produce. I have season 1-5 and I cannot get enough of them.
However, the rush to get Season 5 out, you can tell FOX did a poor job in doing. The packaging was not as nice as Season 1-4. Not the caliber of quality they put into the first four Seasons. But SO very thankful they released it!
Thrilled that Scarlett Pomers character (Kyra) returned for Season 6.
I'm so sad that there will only be 13 more episodes released in Season 6, yet I will enjoy this show forever! I plan on doubling up my set to make sure I am never without this show.
Thank you Reba, and the entire cast, for the endless hours of laughter! We love you!

Great show..., May 14, 2009
I was floored by how funny and charming this show is - a blend of "I love Lucy", "Friends", "The Cosby Show", and maybe a touch of "Roseanne" thrown in.
All of the characters really work as sympathetic and interesting people, starting with Reba. She is just perfect as the strong, somewhat harried mom trying to navigate all the unconventional changes life has thrown at her and her family.
By season 6, Cheyenne and Van have matured into more responsible adults, but are still flaky and endearing enough to deliver many of the show's laughs and satisfy fans who loved the innocent airheads of season 1.
The Brock and Barbara Jean story line was less satisfying to me -- I wish they hadn't experienced QUITE so much conflict in their marriage throughout so many seasons, but the implication by the end is that they will work it out and that they love each other, so that's good.
Barbara Jean and Reba are always delightful together. And it is wonderful to have Kira back, as deadpan as ever, getting ready to go off into the world in her own way (despite Reba's efforts to control her).
Reba is my favorite part of this sitcom, I must admit. She is pragmatic and funny and dispenses wisdom and sarcasm as needed. If you have put off watching this show because it stars "that country music singer", I urge you to forget anything you've ever thought you knew about Reba McIntire and look at her work with fresh eyes.
She has excellent comedic timing and is so appealing in "Reba", and really pulls the whole show together with her contagious energy and enthusiasm. I hope at some point we are able to see her again in another sitcom.
Regarding appropriateness for children, well, I do let my kids watch it and they adore it, but the show may not be appropriate for all families, due to the adult situations it contains. The show contains frank and sometimes irreverant references to sex, teen pregnancy, mistresses, infidelity, skipping school, etc... And there is mild swearing too. Nevertheless, I think the show really emphasizes the most important family values -- loving and supporting each other, struggling to live with the consequences of your actions, and figuring out how to live a good, responsible life even when things don't go exactly like you planned. And it does all this in a hilarious way.
I hope Season 6 includes some extras like the Season 1 DVDs did, perhaps some more commentary from the actors or some more outtakes. But regardless, A++++!

'Reba' Season Six Video!, April 18, 2009
Length:: 0:30 Mins
Hey Reba fans. I am the webmaster of The Reba McEntire Network (Reba.Synthasite.Com) and I have created a video for the release of season 6. I am now editing this review, as I did post this a long time ago. Take a look at the video. It's kind of boring, but it's the best I could to on a computer that wasn't even mine. Anyways, about the DVD, I'm so glad that it is finally out on DVD! It's amazing. Just when we all thought that seasons five and six weren't going to be released, well, surprise. Here they are. The designers of the art work aren't doing as well as I had hoped. It would be a lot cooler if seasons 5 and 6 were released in box sets, and not just regular DVD cases. Also, they don't containa the episode lists at all. I had to go online, and print one out. I did that, and placed it in the case myself! Lol. That's the best I could think of! Another thing, I wish that these last seasons had some kind of special features like seasons 1-3 do. But, we can stay on the positive side, by just saying, "Finally, the whole series of 'Reba' are now on DVD, and I can watch it whenever I want to!". Just say that, and you will be good. I have the complete series of the show, and I'm so glad that I can watch 125 episodes in any order, at any time! I really hope all of you love the DVD! Promote this show to others who don't know it! I would definitely recommend this product to others! One thing you should know, Reba's hair is red. Do you know what red means? It means "Promote me, I am ready for greatness." Just a little thing that JoAnna Garcia says in 'Privileged'. Think that about Reba too! :) That's all for now. I'll see if I have anything to edit, or add to this review later on!
