Happy's Place

Wouldn't normally rate this a 10-prob a 7-but I felt the need to balance out the "Reba's too old and her sister is too young, couldn't happen" low reviews. Examples for people: Larry King's oldest biological kid (Larry King Jr) is 63; his youngest is 24. Al Pacino has a 35 year old daughter and a baby who will be 2 in June. Robert De Niro's oldest is 57 years old; his youngest just happened to turn 2 today (April 6). If I would have had a kid with my husband anytime during the last 20 years we've been married, they would be 45+ years younger than the kids he has now. (too bad y'all can't reply bc there are always lots of questions lol.) Obv my point is that it doesn't deserve a low rating bc of the age difference between the sisters. It's a fun, entertaining show. Is it the best sitcom ever? Of course not. Is it a good way to waste a Sunday? Of course.

Ok, viewers are not stupid. In what planet does a woman find a lost sister who is 40 years younger? How about 10 years or even 15. I had trouble watching it after this reveal. And of course we must be politically correct with diversity out the ying Yang. We have an indigenous, Hispanic, OCD , and I sure a trans person will show up. I say ditch the sister and do a sitcom that makes sense . Reba was a bit too manic on the first episode and Melissa is working her groove. Rex Lind seems lost . But I will continue to watch for now and hope the producers change the list sister bit . It just does not work .

I adore Reba and loved the shows Reba and Malibu Country. I was very much looking forward to the new show. Happy's Place falls very short. The biggest problem for me is the character of the newly discovered sister. She waltzes in like an entitled brat and insists on doing things her way. The bar has been run for years without her and before demanding changes, perhaps lay low, get to know everyone slowely and learn the ins and outs. Then perhaps discuss ideas with Bobby. I'm not sure if it's the character I don't like or the actress; maybe a bit of both. I like all the other actors a lot. Unfortunately, it's the writing that is holding the show back. There's really not a character I want to know more about or even care about. The three men, cook, bookkeeper and the tall guy (I'm not sure of his job) are my favorites.

The show however, is missing something. It's just doesn't come together as an enjoyable show that I want to sit down and watch. As much as I love Reba, I'm removing the show from "my list" and record area.

As a fan of the original Reba (currently rewatching), this falls short. Aside from Reba and the half-sister, there was nothing here to make me care about the other characters - unlike the first episode of Reba where you got a feel for the dynamic of all the characters right away - the writing made the large cast work in a good way. This didn't happen here with a smaller cast.

I love the interaction between Melissa Peterman and Reba and I wish one of the networks or streaming services would give her a show like the old variety shows in the 70s, Carol Burnett, for example. She could sing, act and there's be a place for Melissa to let her comedic talent shine.

I wish them luck with the show but it's a half hour of my week I'm not going to waste.

This cast is too small.

Making the sister this young is ridiculous. She is also boring.

Love the way Rex is playing the cook & Rebas go-to & Melissa is excellent as always but the rest of the cast is a big yawn.

Some people are probably hoping for a revamp of her old show Reba. Some may be wondering even why Melissa Peterman wasn't made the sister.

A good twist would be if in a few episodes we realize the papers got mixed up & Melissa is the REAL sister. Now that would be funny! Love the set & premise of this show but so far I think it's just ok.

I will give it one more episode & if it doesn't get better Im done.
