Reba hits platinum with sitcom
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Reba is in ajam
NEWYORK — Reba is in a jam.
Not Reba McEntire, the Reba who reigns as queen of Nashville, toast of Broadway and instant sit-com star.
No, it's Reba Hart — the Houston soccer mom of McEntire's new WB comedy — who's the Reba with a mess of problems.
Besides two rambunctious younger kids, this newly minted Reba has a teen-age daughter who's pregnant and sharing her room at the Hart homestead with her boyfriend-turned-husband.
Meanwhile, Reba's soon-to-be-ex-husband, a dentist, has dumped his wife of 20 years for his giggly hygienist, who happens to be carrying his child.
Broken family, accidental families — a summary of *Reba* (airing Friday at 8 p.m.) makes it seem more like a prime-time soap than a sitcom.
A bit extreme for a family comedy? Nope, McEntire said.
"That's life," she declared in her "i!"-stretching Oklahoma twang. "That's a country song. I've sung about it all, from AIDS to child abuse to wife abuse. My fans sure weren't surprised by the show."
Fair enough. But Reba caught everyone else by surprise, doubling the WB audience in that time slot from last year and quickly winning a full-season order. Reba proved funny and honest. It also proved that a TV-series newcomer could carry a sitcom like an old hand.
But why would she bother?
At 46, this full-throated singer with the penetrating stare has long been country's top-selling female artist with more than 45 million records sold.
She already had acted in TV films including the 1995 miniseries Buffalo Girls (co-starring Melanie Griffith and Anjelica
Huston) and in feature films including The Little Rascals and the recent One Night at McCool's.
In May, Reba was chosen for the WB's fall schedule. Then, in August, production began. McEntire shakes her head in wonderment.
"It was going to be a really slow year until all this happened," McEntire said.
Playing Reba Hart, McEnlite exudes a make-the-best-of-life pluck that warms the viewer's heart. Her down-home authenticity makes Reba fun to watch.
But never fear: With a greatest-hits album just released and a tour planned for next summer, McEntire hasn't abdicated her country-music throne.
"I'm not deserting anybody," she said. "I'm just having a lot of fun and hopefully bringing more people into our country family."
