As a long-time gamer and avid fan of Reba McEntire‘s music and acting, I am thrilled to hear about her return to television with a new sitcom called “Happy’s Place.” I still remember the opening 29 seconds of her self-titled WB/CW series, “Reba,” and how it resonated with me as a single mom who also works too hard. The theme song’s lyrics about being a survivor have stuck with me through the years, and I can’t wait to see if musical lightning strikes twice.
Reba McEntire acted in six seasons of her self-named sitcom on the WB (later CW network), titled “Reba.” Among the 127 episodes produced, it’s the opening 29 seconds that continue to resonate strongly in popular culture.
“Reba’s theme song ‘I’m a Survivor,’ originally from her 2001 album and popularly used on TikTok and Instagram for its depiction of a hardworking single mother, is gaining renewed attention. With Reba McEntire set to make her TV comeback with a new NBC sitcom, there’s speculation that musical success may strike twice.”
McEntire shared with the media during a recent promotion for her new show “Happy’s Place,” that the script has been completed and filming will commence towards the end of this month. Let’s wait and see if everyone enjoys it.
I’m thrilled as a McEntire fan! It seems likely that I’ll be responsible for performing the theme song for “Happy’s Place.” (Assuming focus groups didn’t have any disastrous feedback.)
As a fan of classic TV shows, I can’t help but lament the disappearance of catchy theme songs performed by their own stars, like Frasier and Drew Carey. Nowadays, opening sequences on broadcast comedies are stripped down to just a brief flash of the show’s name and perhaps a creator credit, if the creator holds enough influence. Forgoing an opening title sequence can save production costs, but primarily it streamlines the process. With broadcast sitcoms running at a tight 22 minutes, squeezing in a half-minute theme song means cutting valuable scenes from each script.
At “Happy’s Place,” McEntire teams up once again with her “Reba” collaborators, producer Kevin Abbott and co-star Melissa Peterman. Since wrapping up “Reba,” we’ve been seeking a new venture for us, shared the actress and executive producer. My passion lies in sitcoms – it’s my preferred genre among all the projects I’ve undertaken.
In terms of style and plot, the creative teams behind “Reba” and “Happy’s Place” appear to be quite distinct. “Reba,” which stars Reba McEntire, revolves around a mother of three whose marriage falls apart when her husband leaves her for another woman. On the other hand, “Happy’s Place” finds McEntire portraying Bobbi, who inherits a bar and gains a new business partner in the form of her half-sister, whom she had never known before, following her father’s passing.
Bobbi, depicted as a widowed woman holding down at least one employment, isn’t explicitly stated to be deeply attached to her children or constantly busy. However, it can be inferred that she possesses soft, nurturing hands and an unyielding spirit – traits of a resilient survivor.
