Fox First Run will no longer be running three of their shows in the Fall because they erased Pictionary, Dish Nation, and Person, Place or Thing.
Dish Nation debuted in 2012, while Pictionary with Jerry O’Connell debuted ten years later, followed by Person, Place or Thing with Melissa Peterman the following year.
TVNewsCheck says they might not be the only daytime three shows getting the axe. The Jennifer Hudson Show, Extra and True Crime News, and Trifecta’s Crime Expose with Nancy O’Dell might also be on the chopping block.
In 2001, Reba McEntire wrote and sang the Reba theme song, I’m a Survivor, and it was a catchy tune. So catchy that 23 years later, if her then and current co-star, Melissa Peterman, says, “A single mom,” both ladies sing the rest of the tune. Much to the delight of the audience who was there for a taping of their funny sitcom, Happy’s Place.
And this time around, their new co-star, Belissa Escobedo, joined in. Want to feel old? She just turned 3 years old when Reba premiered.
If you have not seen Happy’s Place, you should check it out this Friday at 8p on NBC. The chemistry between the cast is perfect, and you won’t stop laughing!
Happy’s Place reunited Reba McEntire with her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman and creator Kevin Abbott. Since then, we saw a reunion with them and Steve Howey, who also starred on the program, for an episode.
In the coming weeks, someone else from the WB series will be appearing on the NBC sitcom. Christopher Rich, who played Reba’s ex and Melissa’s husband on Reba, is going to be a guest star.
According to Variety, Rich is playing Maverick, “a local tattoo artist that is very good at his job … as long as he’s using his right hand. Turns out Maverick has had a stroke and likes to tease new clients about which hand he’s going to use when he starts doing their tattoos.” Is it wrong that I hope that Reba and Gabby fight over him? Just like old tim4es!
That is not the only guest star coming to the bar comedy. We are finally going to meet Bella’s mother, and she will be played by Justina Machado.
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?
