Reba McEntire’s Sitcom Return in NBC’s ‘Happy’s Place’ Is Hilarious and Nostalgic: TV Review


Reuniting with the executive producers from "Reba," Reba McEntire's New NBC sitcom, "Happy's Place" is nostalgic, feel-good TV

In addition to an eclectic cast of characters and McEntire’s signature edge woven throughout the comedy, the Tennessee-set sitcom feels like a universal crowdpleaser about family, friendship and generational divisions while paying homage to past TV shows’ rhythmic beats and tone. Therefore, when she receives news that she has a younger sister, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), who she never knew about and now co-owns the bar with her, Bobbie’s world is turned upside down. From a cat lady joke in the series pilot to Isabella’s startlingly rapid-fire voice notes and recordings in Episode 2, “Tapped Out,” “Happy’s Place” has numerous laugh-out moments.
