Fans of the popular TV series, Reba are thrilled with the release of season 6 on DVD this past June. The American sitcom is set in Houston, Texas.
The talented singer Reba McEntire plays Reba Hart, a divorced mother of three children. Her husband Brock, played by Christopher Rich, is a dentist. Unfortunately, he practiced more than dentistry at work and had an affair with his hygienist, Barbara Jean, played by Melissa Peterman. Barbara Jean becomes pregnant and Brock and Reba’s marriage is over.
Barbara Jean plays a major comedic role in this series. She also plays a major pain in Reba’s life, yet thinks of Reba as her best friend. Even though Brock and Reba are divorced, somehow their lives are still very much weaved together.
Cheyenne, played by Joanna Garcia, is the oldest daughter. She got pregnant in high school by Van Montgomery, played by Steve Howey. They are a rather ditzy couple living in Reba’s house with their baby, Elizabeth. The younger daughter, Kyra becomes resentful and moves in with her Dad and Barbara Jean. Jake, played by Mitch Holleman, is the youngest and adds a sweetness, yet sometimes mischievous touch to the show.
This series is full of good comedy, great acting and sometimes tears. In my opinion, this is one of the best sitcoms to hit the TV screen. It’s a show that relates to real situations and the will to survive, with a strong comedic touch.
