It doesn't have the greatest writing in the world (definitely not as good as Reba), but it's still an enjoyable escape.

I like the series and watched it all. But the supporting characters could be better. Melissa's is great, please don't change it! It's not the actors; they're good and their worth is more than proven. It's just missing "something." It lacks a bit of what the series "Reba" had: the spark that kept you glued to the television and made everyone laugh instantly. This one is entertaining; I'm sure most Reba fans support it, even though the series isn't as compelling as "Reba." I hope it evolves, improves, and that the supporting characters blossom and become more appealing. If the writers don't add that spark that draws us in and captivates us, I suspect it won't last as long as "Reba."

I watched the first season, hoping it would get better. It did, marginally but I don't know if it was enough to keep me watching in season two. I liked all the characters except for Rebas sister. She is miscast, IMO. The writing isn't great either so they may lose me this year if it's up against a much better show, like Grosse Point Garden Society.

I hope we get to see Reba’s sister Susie on Happy’s place. And see a younger version of Bobbie too.

H P is recorded in front of a live audience, so not fake laughter.

I agree with the something missing. I saw one or two excellent episodes, and that will keep me watching the mediocre ones for a while. But it must get better. Reba was a family and it was easier to accept that world than the bar family here. They just didn’t quite jell as a family. It can be done—look at cheers or any other workplace comedy. There wasn’t a strong counterpoint person like Reba and Melissa were for the show Reba, or Sam was in cheers in the beginning. Everybody’s too nice—maybe that’s the problem. No one to hate watch, or to see get reformed over time. Comedies with that seem to last long. (Sgt Burns in mash, Roseanne in Rosanne, I could go on).

George Strait should definitely play her father Happy.

It’s great Happy’s Place was renewed. I watch because I love Reba.
Question: Why can’t all these TV shows come for a new season as quickly as this? It will be back this year!!! November 2025.
Why do all of the other dang shows, comedies & dramas, go away between seasons for sometimes a year whole year or more? I’ve lost interest & excitement when the new Season finally returns.

It will be awesome if Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrel, and Park Overall made a guest appearance on the show. And Scarlett Pomers would be a better choice for a sister than Isabella.
