Celebrity Jeopardy airs during primetime, so the writers are coming up with riskier categories. For example, Ken Jennings wanted to see if Melissa Peterman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Jackie Tohn can Name That “3” Some.
Well, I was hoping it was going to be clues about ménage à trois, throuples, or celebrity triangles. But it was not.
Even though I was disappointed it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be about, I got all of them correct. How did you do?
On Friday nights, we get a little Reba reunion on Happy’s Place with Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman, and EP Kevin Abbott.
But we want more, and we got it. Over the weekend, Reba and Peterman met up with their TV husband, Brock, I mean Christopher Rich, to break bread.
There was a surprise guest with one of the McClellan twins who played Brock and Barbara Jean’s son. He is all grown up, and I feel so old.
Hopefully, the two actresses told their boss about this meetup, and they ask the two actors to guest star on the comedy. I’d love to see a reunion on the small screen.
Happy’s Place brought Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman, and Executive Producer Kevin Abbott together again, and people are loving it. So, today, NBC ordered five more episodes of the show about Reba finding out that her late father fathered another girl, and now the two new sisters are running his bar.
Raise a glass to Happy’s Place for being around for a full season.
Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman are working together again in a new sitcom called Happy’s Place, and the show that debuts on NBC tonight at 8p lives up to its title.
Bobbie’s (Reba) father just passed away, and the lawyer is coming over to read the will as the bar she shared with her late dad. She thinks she knows everything that is included in the will, but she is in for a big surprise.
Isabella (Belissa Escobedo) is also there to hear the will read, and she doesn’t know why. It turns out that Bobbie and her are half-sisters, and now they each own half of the bar.
Bobbie is not happy (but then again, she never is) to learn that their father had an affair and that she has to share the bar she devoted her life to with some woman she does not know.
Maybe it won’t be that bad, right? Wrong! Isabella wants to make changes, and Bobbie likes things the way they are.
Even though they are sisters, they are polar opposites. That is going to make things even harder for them to get to know each other from in front of and behind the bar.
Thankfully, they have help from the bar staff. Gabby (Peterman) is Bobbie’s friend and works behind the bar, serving drinks. Well, she is more of a friend to Bobbie than the other way around, and she wishes they could be closer.
However, not as close as Emmett (Rex Linn) was to Bobbie. Along with being the cook, he is also her ex.
They are like a family, and for Bobbie, it means getting a new family member. How will they adapt to Isabella joining their tribe? We will have to tune in every week to find out.
Happy’s Place is created by Kevin Abbott, who worked the singer on Reba and Malibu Country. And with that, you know we have a winner on our hands. The two of them are magic together. Plus. The show lets Reba work with her good friend Peterman again, and her real-life boyfriend plays her ex.
The chemistry was there before they even started working together. That makes this series even more special.
What truly makes it special is all the laughs it delivers. And who doesn’t need to laugh on Fridays after a long week of work?
