Where do we sign the petition to get a Reba reboot immediately? Of course, we love the show's star: Reba McEntire. That aside, I think it's safe to say it was one of the best sitcoms to ever air on television.

By now, you probably are already singing the infectious theme song, "I'm A Survivor." So, let's go back in time. Reba first aired on October 5, 2001, and had a six-season run, up until 2006.
Although Reba is a superstar no matter what she's doing, the cast is what made the show so great, week after week. The chemistry the characters had on screen was something very special that even translated into real-life friendships.
Reba worked alongside castmates Christopher Rich "Brock Hart," Melissa Peterman "Barbra Jean," JoAnna Garcia Swisher "Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery," Steve Howey "Van Montgomery," Scarlett Pomers "Kyra Hart," and Mitch Holleman "Jake Hart" for a total of 125 episodes.
The cast reunited this past spring while Reba was on tour at her show in Los Angeles, California at the Hollywood Bowl. Peterman posted a series of photos to her Instagram page, including a short clip of Swisher holding a very large Reba head while walking into the arena.
In 2002, Reba garnered McEntire a win for the People's Choice Award for Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series and later was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 2004.
Reba is the newest coach to join season 24 of The Voice and you can catch new episodes on Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC. She will also be releasing a new book, Not That Fancy: Simple Lessons on Living, Loving, Eating, and Dusting Off Your Boots on October 10 as well as a new album, Not That Fancy, on October 6.
11 TV Shows You Can Stream With Country Stars: Reba, Lainey
When Hollywood actors went on strike for the first time in forty years last week, production on all sets stopped. That affected all country stars acting in TV or movies.
The strike will not affect reality shows like American Idol and The Voice, full of country music royalty helping young budding stars' dreams come true. Those shows will go on as scheduled, giving us all the chance to see Reba McEntire and Dan + Shay sitting in red chairs on The Voice as first-time coaches on the show.
According to the guidelines, SAG-AFTRA members cannot attend premieres, do interviews for completed work, go to awards shows, attend film festivals, or even promote projects on social media while the strike is in effect. They are also prohibited from attending conventions such as Comic-Con to promote any past or present work made under a SAG-AFTRA contract.
The strike will affect those country stars that have done a lot of acting in the past, including Tim McGraw, McEntire, Lainey Wilson, Randy Houser, and more.
We searched for what to watch on TV and streaming services during the strike, which could last for months. For you, we gathered some TV shows already on streaming services where you can watch your favorite country stars flexing their acting skills, talking about their career in documentaries, and more.
