Malibu Country
ABC, Fridays 8:30/7:30 Central
Nov 02, 2012
Web Exclusive
The new Reba McEntire show, Malibu Country, is pretty much the old Reba McEntire show, Reba, recycled. Reba’s husband has cheated on her, and this is her life post-divorce. The location is Malibu, her husband is a country music star instead of a dentist, and her daughter’s not pregnant, but everything else is more or less the same. If you like exaggerated Southern accents, cookie-cutter comedy puns, and single mom/teenager melodramatics, all laced with a painful laugh track, Malibu Country is for you. Whether or not you’re into it—and six years of Reba showed that a lot of people were—Lily Tomlin as Reba’s weed-happy mother Lillie Mae is almost reason enough to tune in. Malibu is better off with the country left out of it. Pass. (www.beta.abc.go.com/shows/malibu-country)
