REBA the TV Show Revival

Publish date: 2024-06-13

With Roseanne coming back, it's definitely possible. Reba's show has become even more popular in syndicated reruns.

Would you watch a reboot?

I will say that Reba and her clan being Cheeto eaters would be a lot more believable then Roseanne Conner.

Would Leslie Jordan’s character, Terry make an appearance?

The show really went downhill for me when the Barbra Jean character lost all that weight. And didn’t the actress who played Kyra retire while the show was still filming? She had an eating disorder and was barely there toward the end.

No thanks, I’ll pass.

Reba the character on this show is kind of annoying but what can I say, I like it. Bring it back.

Will Steve Howey do full-frontal like he does on "Shameless?"

It was like the weight loss made her lose all her comic timing. I think the character might have also become more unlikable - and the dynamic with Reba was thrown off.

The show had kind of run its course for its premise and do not see it working many years later. Roseanne's politics aside, I am not sure that show is going to be watchable with the kids middle aged and older Roseanne still trying to run everyone's lives. Even before the final lottery season, the show had started to run out of gas.

A Reba revival? I'd rather see a Facts of Life reboot with Rosie O'Donnell as Mrs. Garrett.

I never watched Reba when it was new only as reruns in syndication, so if they do a reboot that will most likely be when I see it, as a rerun.

Keep that scary clown face away from me.

I never saw the show during its original run. I did however become a fan when TVLand began playing a Reba marathon every Sunday right after the Golden Girls marathon. The show's writers managed to toss in a lot of funny jokes. Reba was good herself; her character was kind of like a female Bob Newhart type.

I don't support anyone from the right-wing. No thanks!

R12 Reba has evolved since her early 90s days as a GHW Bush friend and is fully a Gay rights supporter. If you don't allow your opinions of others to change, why should they change their opinion about you? She has never come out as republican or been homophobic, she was embracing her Drag Impersonators in the 90s and recorded one of the only songs about HIV/AIDS ("She Thinks His Name Was John") that became a hit and absolutely the only country song, bringing much needed attention and empathy to the crisis from Middle America and country fans.

Everyone here bases their hostile opinion on her on the whole Dixie Chicks Bush controversy and Natalie insulted her first, then she hosted a show after it and cracked a writer's joke about them putting their foot in their mouth. Petty

As long as Reba herself isn't in it, I might watch it.

I want to see her in another revival of Annie Get Your Gun. Her performance was inarguably the pinnacle of Broadway musical comedy achievement.

Maybe if she grew a top lip.

Just kidding, she's a doll.

I'd watch it. The actress who played Barbara Jean gained some of the weight back so she doesn't look so sickly as she did in the last season.

The dad in the show was hot.

Sure. It was a charming show.

She's strong and she's something... She's a survivor.

The show was surprisingly funny. That Barbara Jean was a pistol.

Well he certainly .....um....filled out r4.

DLers actually watched this slop?

Oh we watch ALL sorts of slop r24!

The way they handled Kyra's return after her absence was quite wittily handled r2.

"Where have you been?"

"I just went out for something to eat"

Everyone wants an annoying friend who is always there for them like Barbara Jean (even if she did steal your ex husband).

The guy in R24 is a sexy daddy. I like!

Is Naomi Wildman still an anorexic crack whore?

Goda'mighty. Why don't the networks just reboot EVERYTHING, and be done with it, already?

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the show, except the last season. There were a lot of things that worked surprisingly well, like the Reba/Barbara Jean chemistry.

I saw her on some TV documentary and her family were slave owners. No wonder she's a MAGA nut.

Whoa I just caught an older season episode for the first time. The episode where Nicholas Webster (hot damn!) plays Barbara Jean's gay trainer. How the hell did Barbara Jean lose so much weight? She looks like a completely different person. Did she keep the weight off?

R34, she gained some back. She's one of those people who look better with a little meat on them.

R35 I definitely agree she looks better with some meat on her bones. She looked weird all skinny and horsey.

well, it's nice to finally have a figure on the portion of the DL population that's white trash.
