I'm actually watching "Reba" while I'm typing this article, which is how the idea came about. It's one of the funniest shows of the 2000's, and it proved that Reba McEntire can do more than just sing country songs. It also catapulted Melissa Peterman to be the household name of "Barbra Jean" and made Cheyenne (JoAnna Garcia) and Van (Steve Howey) the cutest high school sweethearts. My future apartment-mates Julie, Tara and Lauren all love to watch it too, which proves that even though it ended almost 10 years ago, people everywhere still love it. Without further ado, here are ten times Reba (and all the other characters from the show) described how you felt about life.
1. When you have to call people out.
Life can hand you some pretty dumb people, so that strategy makes them easier to deal with.
2. When you're feeling yourself.
You tell 'em.
3. When you hate everything.
If Reba can put up with Barbra Jean every day, you can get through your issues too.
4. When you have a philosophical moment.
Barbra Jean didn't have many of these, but when she did, it was super fun to see.
5. When you don't know what's going on anymore.
Brock was spot-on. As was Reba's response to it.
6. When you need to relax.
Popcorn? Check. TV? Check. Comfy PJ's? Check.
7. When you want to make working out less torturous.
Reba had the right idea.
8. When you all you need is a hug.
Even though they're divorced, Brock and Reba were still there for each other.
9. When you accomplish something.
YES. Go me.
10. When you've made it through.
"Who I am is who I wanna be. I'm a survivor."
Thanks for all the laughs, "Reba." You gave us a lot of great lessons to learn from. It was a great 6 years of television.
