    Happy’s Place is a throwback sitcom that relies on character humor instead of broad gags, and that’s always something that we will root for.

    By cramming a Gen Z worldview into a pre-Y2K sitcom format, Happy’s Place is trying to straddle two eras… and is all the more shaky because of it.

    There’s something quite quaint about Happy’s Place, a comforting familiarity to its rhythms and its jokes, to its plots and its characters—even, or especially, when so many of them rely on Bobbie (and Reba, in turn) trying to connect with the Gen Z vibe Isabella brings to the proceedings.

    It's just another low-rent sitcom with stale jokes, bland characters and a limp plot. It's not so much that it's bad, it's just so boring, banal and blah.

    For those without a fierce dedication to Reba McEntire, this show is as forgettable as it gets.
