I really miss Rebas tv show. It was so fun to watch. I still watch it every chance I get.

[@yvonnemurff7985]

They say there is going to be a reboot of her show. I hope so.

[@lateramae]

Reba is one of my favorite TV shows, next to Full House and Boy Meets World.

[@staceybustos4735]

Miss her TV Show..I think her and Kelly and Barbara Jean should make a movie ! Is there life Out Their !!

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

Ever since I was a little girl, my Dad had the BIGGEST crush on Reba - he always said that she was the the most ideal woman that any man could ever ask for. I'm 40 now, and my Dad has since passed away - but whenever I see or hear Reba it always puts a huge smile on my face thinking about how crazy he was about her. Fly high, Daddy - I miss you so much.

I absolutely love 90’s country. I grew up on it and still listen to this day.

[@jackson4socks]

90s country women are so much better than the women on the radio today, IMO.

[@LilliLamour]

It was the best

[@pattytoler367]

Carrie Underwood, who is also an Oklahoma girl, got her start when she won in Season 4 of American Idol and I think she's just as great as the 90's country female artists, IMO. Just saying.

Reba and Kelly, two beautiful souls

[@WinterCactusRed]

Love how Kelly progressively is getting more and more country as she talks to Reba.

[@pattytoler367]

@Brittany Well, Kelly is a Texas girl, so of course she's gonna sound southern country. I mean her Texas drawl comes out when she's co-coaching on The Voice.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

Lol fake Reba account alert 😂

[@iamaliseya]

Both of them are so authentic. Grateful we still have a handful of music artists who haven’t completely gone off the deep end out there. Reba will forever be the one celebrity I’d just love to sit down with and have a glass of sweet tea on a porch somewhere in the country...lol I may have been born in the 90s but she’s still a huge inspiration to me. And I grew up listening to Kelly throughout middle and high school, so I have nothing but fond memories of them both. Loved this and love them both!

[@tiffanystidham5329]

My Nana was 53 when she passed away in 2003 & I was 16. When I was 12, she woke me up while we were driving at night to see my aunt & uncle & she said "Sissy, wake up for a second... Do you hear this song on the radio?" (It was Reba's song - "I'll Be") & I said, "yes" & she told me "that's my song to you, & promise me you'll never forget that." ...I can't hear it without crying to this day. For Reba to know how comforting it is to hear that song & her voice singing it all these years would mean everything to me. I hear or see Reba, & I think about my Nana. She was my best friend, & that song means more to me than I could ever put into words. 🖤

[@markieharper9991]

I agree they totally are missing out on woman country singers.

[@orlock20]

More people listen to music through the internet than the radio so the listeners aren't missing music except the commercials.

[@maryplaidy6814]

@Karyn Taylor And they all sound alike. No unique voices. Reckon that's the reason?

[@BAMCIS13450703]

Theres definitely plenty of unique female voices and the whole tomato controversy is relatively recent. In the late 80s and all through the 90s there were tons of great women being played all the time on country radio

[@maryplaidy6814]

@Karyn Taylor Country music was Ray Price, Marty Robbins, fiddles and steels.

[@41Haloh]

This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. Love Kelly and Reba. They are so lucky they met Reba And on the Kelly show.

[@margiegenx]

90’s country was the best! Glad was able to experience it!

I would totally be hooked on watching Reba in an western. Please make it happen. LOVE REBA💕💋🌹.

[@charmingheartphotography6758]

Omg yes! I would kill to see her in a western 🤩

[@PaulJGorzkowski]

I was never much of a fan of country music at all. I considered myself a die-hard 80s pop/rock junkie.... But, during the late 80s and all of the 90s, my parents would play Reba on an endless loop. I fell in love with her voice and her music.. Every one of her music videos told stories and are still absolutely thrilling to watch... Later on, I became a fan of her acting like in, Tremors. And the show, Reba was a must watch in my house. Not only can she sing and act, her comical timing is priceless.... Reba has definitely put a huge imprint on the entertainment industry and will always be a historical fact!

[@pattytoler367]

Paul J. G. I LOVED Reba in the Tremors movie! She wasn't in any of the sequels but she was definitely harassed in the first Tremors movie.

Angela Carleton Tremors came out in 1990, the same year my daughter was born. And yes, Reba was an awesome badass in that movie. I was sad that she didn't come back for any of the sequels.

[@rkmari6872]

Kelly is the best talk show host I've ever seen. She's definitely got a natural personality for hosting that doesn't seek pushy or putting her nose in the celebrities lives where it doesn't belong.

[@uniquelyautisticlyemma1789]

I’ve been wanting to say this for a long time, so I’m just going to say it now, and I don’t care what anybody else says, I like this show way more than I do Ellen’s show. Kelly’s show is 10 times better in my opinion. I love how she’ll have multiple guests sitting there at once. I also love how unlike Ellen she has teenage celebrities, and not just grown up celebrities on her show. (In other words she recongizes that teenagers are important as actors and actresses and not just people who are talented at something and/or in viral videos.) Now don’t get me wrong other talk shows do this too, and Ellen used to have younger guests on her show, but she doesn’t anymore. With that Kelly Clarkson also has a wide range of guests and celebrities on the show as well. Another thing that this show is, that Ellen’s show isn’t is family friendly. Some parts of Ellen’s show are family friendly, but lots of them aren’t, and there’s lots of dirty jokes, talk about different drinks,etc, and now I know some people may enjoy that, but I don’t. I do like Ellen, and I do like her show sometimes, but I just enjoy watching Kelly’s show way more, and I love Kelly way more than I do Ellen too.

Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like that.

Nice to see Reba ~ been a long time. Love the Western idea! That could really work. I could envision maybe a modern style, somehow barrel racing comes to mind, maybe something about a barrel racer's daughter? ...just tossing out ideas. I tried barrel racing once. Turned out to be a comedy of errors. My Dad was delighted with the 50 lb. sack of Omeline we got for encouragement to keep trying when I came in dead last 🙂. But maybe an older style Western might be excellent... fun idea. Heartfelt blessings and prayers to the young lady and her Mom Linda. Hang in there! Nice interview - I'll watch for that Western!

There was a lack of women on the charts, period. 10 years ago 13/40 of the best selling albums of the year were by women, which was the standart. In 2019 and 2018 it was 8, barely scraping the bottom.... In 2017 it was 4... To add to the injury in those years many are the same album over different year (mostly Taylor). If you don't support the last trooper left out there even if you don't like her music, you will be doomed to years and years of more Lil uzi vert crap
