Reba: The Complete First Season gathers all 22 episodes of the popular WB sitcom's 2001 debut, an unusual and likable comedy about a family meltdown that results, over time, in stronger ties between principal characters. The pilot episode's opening scene puts it all on the table: A court-mandated, family therapy session in which one learns that Reba Hart (Reba McEntire) and estranged husband Brock (Christopher Hart) have broken up after 20 years of marriage, Brock's mistress Barbra Jean (Melissa Peterman) is pregnant, and the Harts' 17-year-old daughter, Cheyenne (Joanna Garcia), and her high school football hero boyfriend, Van (Steve Howey), are also expecting. From these overlapping disaster come many fireworks, but Reba is really about the gradual reinvention of the Harts and the qualities of mercy, understanding, and rebuilt faith. At the center of everything is Reba, who put Brock through dental school, had a trio of kids with him, then loses him, inexplicably, to sweet but simple-minded Barbra Jean, a hygienist. Yet he isn't really gone: Brock's emotional ties to Reba remain powerful, and he is often full of regret over whatever is driving him away. More challenging is Barbra Jean's needful attachment to Reba, which gets particularly difficult when the former keeps turning up at sensitive times, such as a visit from Reba's parents (Barry Corbin, Dorothy Lyman) and during Cheyenne's Lamaze classes. While coping with her own divorce, Reba keeps busy helping Cheyenne and Van set up their lives as newlyweds, a tricky business since both are still in high school and so many people--the principal, Van's parents, Reba's neighbors--disapprove and assume the worst about the Harts' morals. Still, every episode ends with the feeling that everything is going to be okay in Reba's world, even if she has no idea where so much change is taking her. Country superstar McEntire proves a very capable and attractive comic lead, and the rest of the cast, including Mitch Holleman and Scarlett Pomers as Reba's youngest kids, are caught up in Reba's appealing chaos. --Tom Keogh

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5
1) I love this show! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Reba is so funny. We don't have cable and since all these great shows are coming out on DVD I took the opportunity to purchase Season 1 & 2 with the free shipping. I need Season 3 & 4 now. I am sad to hear her show was cancelled and just hope they give it an ending instead of just having no closure. If there was 20 Seasons I would buy them all, if you love Reba or comedy shows this one would be right up your alley! I highly approve of this series!2) BJ and Reba [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This show may be titled 'Reba' but Barbara Jean also makes this show a hit! Good cast of characters too.3) One of Funniest Sitcom's ever- Reba [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I love Reba it's the funniest sitcom ever, with a great actress like Reba McEntire, Joanna Garcia, Great Actors like Christopher rich, I have never got bored of show, I have got Season 1,2,3 and 4 and I can't wait for Seasons 5 and 6, can anyone tell when they come out. Description: When your husband of twenty years divorces you for a woman half his age, it's time to move on to Plan B. For Reba Hart (Reba McEntire), that means not only accepting that her marriage is over, but also accepting that her ex's new wife is pregnant. If that isn't disruptive enough, Reba learns that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant too. So it's out with the old and in with the new as hubby leaves and son-in-law arrives. With al the outrageous domestic obstacles thrown in her path, Reba realizes one thing for sure: life will never be the same in this dysfunctional household!4) Undemanding Lovers of Family Sitcoms Such As "Full House", "Step-By-Step", "Family Matters" Etc. Are Likely To Enjoy! [Rating: 4 out of 5]
It seem like most of us can agree that Reba McEntire (those who were at all familiar with the name before this show rolled around) is a far, far, better singer than she ever will be an actress. However, with that said I still feel that she does a pretty fair job playing the role of Reba Hart in this show (a feisty, hard-working, hard-loving, fiercely proud and even more fiercely opinionated, divorced and now single Texan mother of three) especially when you take into consideration that McEntire had had little to no acting experience before this show. If you can manage to overlook such things as it's oft hokey writing, goofy and seriously stereotyped supporting characters, super-cheesy one-liners that seems to annoy so many, and in particular the occasional over-acting by virtually all of it's actors (Reba included), you'll more than likely find a very warm and obviously well-meaning (despite what some hatefull reveiwers before me think) little family sitcom that has a tendency to grow on you after a while, or at least it did me! Of course it's not too likely to ever go down in history as the most groundbreaking of all sitcoms considering it openly borrows from so many other highly respected and more popular shows. Although, it is one that I imagine undemanding lovers of family sitcoms such as "Full House", "Step-By-Step", "Family Matters" and the like will no doubt enjoy.5) Hillarious Cast [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I never watched the show when it was on but I now catchg reruns on lifetime. Its a truly laugh out loud feelgood show. I reccomend to anyone.
