Reba McEntire is filming The Voice and Happy’s Place simultaneously for NBC, so she needs to keep her energy up.
How is she doing it? She is doing push-ups with straight legs. At any age, that is impressive. However, she is 69, and that makes me admire the Country singer even more. Because I can’t even do one, and she did five without any problems.
Even Gwent Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé were bowing down to the Queen! Long live the Queen.
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?
It is that time of year when The Voice coaches sing a group song to promote the upcoming season. This year, we got to hear three of the top singers in their genre and Gwen Stefani sing the Four Tops’ Reach Out I’ll Be There.
Now that I have heard Snoop Dogg do Motown, I want to hear him do more songs like that. I knew that Michael Bublé and Reba McEntire could do it because they can sing anything. But Snoop blew me away.
Hopefully, this season will be as good as their group number. The Voice will be back on NBC on September 23rd.
I have to admit I haven’t watched The Voice in a long time because the coaches didn’t interest me much. But I will be tuning in September because Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will be sitting in the red swivel chairs.
The Rapper and the Crooner are joining Reba McEntire and Gwen Stafani.
They almost have a perfect panel, but the No Doubt singer is a dud. I don’t know why they keep bringing her back. Does Blake Shelton have photos on the show’s producers?
Forgetting about Mrs. Shelton, I am looking forward to the banter between the other three. I can’t wait to see Snoop get Reba high! She is going to need it because she will have two shows on NBC next season, this one and the sitcom Happy’s Place.
He who laughs last laughs best. And NBC saved their sitcoms’ fate for last.
Today, the network made a decision on the future of their three comedies.
Lopez vs. Lopez, the show is loosely based on George Lopez and his daughter Mayan’s fractured relationship which is on the mend, will be back for a third season.
Sadly, Extended Family, with Jon Cryer and Abigal Spencer as exes trying to figure out how to live as divorced parents to their children, will not be back for a second season. EF also starred Donald Faison as Spencer’s fiancé.
And that cancellation made room for Happy’s Place, starring Reba McEntire.
Bobbie (McEntire) inherits her father’s restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.
The series has her reuniting with her Reba co-star Melissa Peterman and EP Kevin Abbott.
NBC will announce their 2024-2025 schedule on Monday.
