Only got the chance to check out the REBA sitcom recently and it's surprisingly fun and refreshing. Hope her next show will be as much or more fun.

[@pamelastockton3399]

I am so excited for this new sitcom. I still love watching Reba reruns everyday! If you haven’t watched the Reba sitcom you should! I just happened by it one day and was hooked. That show keeps me laughing and lifts my spirits! All of the characters are amazing but Reba and Barbara Jean have a chemistry that takes comedy over the top! I can’t wait to see what’s next! SO EXCITED!!!😂😂

I loved the pilot of Reba’s new show. I can’t wait for it to get picked up and start the series. Y’all will love it. It’s such a good show.

[@Lily-hy1xu]

Awesome! Thank you Reba! I really loved the Reba show, all the characters and sketches and I still watch the reruns today. ❤

[@39aeb]

I have seen Reba in concert two different times and both times were equally awesome. When the host brings up Reba and Kelly singing together, that was the first concert I went to called "The Best of Both Worlds", her opening act was Melissa Peterman.....no words. The second one I went to she came with George Strait....she came out in a taxi singing "Fancy", she got to probably six songs in and starts "Because of You" and Kelly Clarkson pops out of nowhere. The event center went completely nuts.

[@jenniferwilhelm256]

OMG I can't wait to see this show or series with REBA macEntire and Melissa Peterman ❤❤❤❤

[@annlittle6193]

Would love to see Reba and Melissa reprise their roles from The Hammer. Excellent movie with so many story line possibilities for a weekly show.

[@nancybaldwin4893]

I can’t wait to see it and ACM Awards.

The interviewers face when Reba said, " Remember when you'd watch Andy Griffin.." That girl never watched an episode in her life 😂😂 but aside from that, I'm excited for this pilot!

I don't know Reba's boyfriend is the principal off of Young Sheldon

[@allimyers2433]

I know he’s not in this area, but. Niall would be great with reba in a sitcom. 😂

[@cyndimanka]

I’m sorry but no one does Jolene like Dolly

[@leebrendalee]

Yea but when are the awards and tv show,,….?….

[@susieringer7356]

The shows pilot, "Happy's Place" was filmed so maybe in the Fall lineup. The ACM Awards will only be shown on Amazon Prime Video May 16.

[@Sharheart2heart]

I would love to hear Dolly Parton and Beyonce sing Jolene together. Both women are talented. On a side note, country has waited too long for the inclusion of diversity. Women in that genre are not as included as males are, women of color are even less included. The same goes for males of color in the world of country awards and featuring POC on major country music platforms.

[@fortniteBattlePass56]

sooo cool! pin? i’m first comment

[@clintcountryman4849]

I don't think Jolene needed to be rewritten...

[@Darci3333]

Beyonce.....Jolene.......nope....

[@brendaniebel1355]

Orange,,,ain't her color. 🟠😢

[@joannaaguilar4961]

I will watched the acm awards on youtube, but the new sitcom not so much

[@susieringer7356]

Why would you not even give the new sitcom a chance? Reba and Melissa are like Lucy and Ethel to us. The ACM awards are not on normal television this year, only on Amazon Prime Video.

[@Twitch6852]

No dolly Parton and Beyonce yuck

[@MrJmarq89]

I hope they don’t include that baritone sax player again

[@LittleMissPaisley59]

Beyonce's version stinks.

[@marinecorpswarrior915]

Hope it's better then her second sitcom Malibu Country with lily Tomlin because it was a hot mess and not funny at all.
