Editorial Review:
Country legend and recent Broadway sensation Reba McEntire stars in Reba, a hilarious and spirited look at the "perfect" American family gone awry. The perfect holiday gift for every Reba fan.
Description of Reba - Season 2:
Reba: Season 2 stays the course set in the first season, with sitcom star (and country music legend) Reba McEntire playing a divorced mom (named Reba Hart) trying to get her bearings after her dentist husband, Brock (Christopher Hart), leaves her to take up with his simple but sweet-natured hygenist, Barbra Jean (Melissa Peterman). That's still only part of the heroine's troubles. Her 17-year-old daughter, Cheyenne (Joanna Garcia), and the latter's teenage husband, Van (Steve Howey), are living in Reba's house with their infant, while Reba's younger daughter Kyra (Scarlett Pomers) is maturing at an unnerving clip and son Jake (Mitch Holleman) frequently loses out when it comes to mom's attention. None of that is as crazy-making, however, as Barbra Jean's naive overtures to Reba for sisterly friendship--when the new Mrs. Hart and Brock move into a house near Reba's, Barbra Jean can't wait to visit Brock's ex-wife often. Very often.
With these new and reconfigured relationships fixed in place, the dust is settling in season 2. Now comes the really hard part: pinching pennies while trying to teach the profligate, clueless Cheyenne and Van that they don't have the scratch to get an apartment or spend money on non-essentials. Or interviewing for jobs for which Reba clearly has no experience. Or trying to hold onto Kyra's loyalty when what the girl wants is more of dad. The seriousness of these running issues speaks for itself, forming a strong foundation for a show whose humor is understandably biting without being off-putting. McEntire and the rest of the cast are consistently strong and funny, while Peterman continues to stand out in her somewhat broader performance. (Peterman's comic assuredness sometimes reminds one of Lucille Ball.) Lots of life lessons in this show, but a lot of disciplined if gentle comedy as well. --Tom Keogh
Reba - Season 2 Reviews:
Reba Rocks! 
2009-11-28 - A great show that was on for six seasons. It would have been on for more but when WB and the other TV station merged, we lost our Reba in the shuffle!
"You're My Wife. It Would Be Nice If You Could Show a Little Doubt Sometimes."
2009-08-25 - Season two picks up pretty much where season one left off. Reba Hart (Reba Mcentire) is finding life raising her kids alone to be very hard. There's the question of whether Brock (Christopher Rich) and his new wife Barbra Jean (Melissa Peterman) are giving youngest son Jake (Mitch Holleman) junk food. Middle daughter Kyra (Scarletta Pomers) is entering those awkward teenage years, and becomes upset when Reba tries to date her new boyfriend's father. And new teenage parents Cheyenne and Van (Joanna Garcia and Steve Howey) are dealing with college life and a new born.
Reba finally has to face reality that she needs to get a job. She even tries working for Brock before going to work for his arch rival (across the hall). Van decides to buy Cheyenne a real ring. And he gives up football for a year. And Reba just tries to balance everyone in her life, including Barbra Jean who keeps attempting to worm her way into the new family dynamic.
I must admit, this season has two episodes back to back I really don't love. We get a little too much information on Reba's potential new love life in "Ring-a-Ding." And "Cookies for Santa" has to be the saddest Christmas episode ever.
On the other hand, it has some of the funniest moments in the series. "A Moment in Time" features a video for Cheyenne and Van's daughter that doesn't go at all like anyone expected it to. And "Seeing Red" provides wonderful laughs when Barbra Jean comes back from a makeover looking just like Reba.
This season also really allowed the characters to grow into their own. While there are plenty of laughs, the writers worked hard to flesh things out and make them into real people.
While some serious stuff comes up, this show is still very funny. You can't help but laugh as you enjoy the antics of the Hart family.
This Show Should Never Have Been Canceled
