My favorite television show that I like to sit down and watch at the end of a long day is Reba. I always look forward to relaxing in front of the TV and watching the witty thirty-minute episodes. This show provides me the perfect comic relief at the time of day I need it most. The show features Reba playing the role of a single, divorced, mother with three children, a son-in-law, and a grandchild all living under her roof. Her ex-husband, Brock, and his younger, somewhat dimwitted new wife, Barbra Jean also live nearby and are constantly dropping in unexpectedly. Reba has a very strong, independent personality. She seems to deal with problems with Brock and Barbra Jean with sarcasm and with her kids by means of love and understanding.
She always wants Reba’s friendship and approval, but Reba sees Barbra Jean as an easy target for her sarcastic jokes. Even though Reba will not admit it, she eventually considers Barbra Jean a friend.
Cheyenne deals with the common struggles of being a young mother. She finishes high school and goes into labor on graduation day. She is challenged with motherhood, but has a strong support system with Van and her mother. Although she sometimes seems self-centered, she is actually very compassionate. Through her own struggles with alcoholism, Cheyenne realizes that she will use her experience to help others. She decides to focus on her college education so that she can become a counselor. She is forced to mature quickly to become a caring mother and loving wife.
After getting Cheyenne pregnant, Van’s parents kick him out of their house. Reba accepts Van into her home as her daughter’s husband and treats Van as if he were one of her own. Van is portrayed as being a goofy, teenage jock, but has a good heart and loves Cheyenne and their daughter Elizabeth. After his football career ends due to injury, Van grows up to become a successful real estate agent. He becomes a dependable provider for Cheyenne and Elizabeth and is eventually able to provide them with a home of their own.
Reba also has two other children Kyra and Jake. Kyra is smart and has her mom’s sarcastic sense of humor and fiery red
