All the world loves Reba McEntire. I think that’s a universal truth like water is wet or the sun is hot. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t love her. Whether it’s her music, the twang in her voice, or that gorgeous red hair (she’s a natural redhead though she does dye it sometimes to make the color bolder), everybody loves Reba.
People still enjoy her first sitcom, aptly named Reba over two decades later. The show is in regular rotation in reruns on various networks.
