Happy's Place takes place in a bar, but has a very similar feel to McEntire's last sitcom, "Reba" in some respects. Probably because this new sitcom has two of the same leads (McEntire & Peterman) whose character's interactions are nearly identical to the previous show, and it's written by someone who wrote for both shows as well. If you loved "Reba", you'll probably enjoy this.

Happy's Place does have a couple of fun, quirky characters and I think Belissa Escabedo, as Isabella, will steal the show, but Melissa Peterman's characters have always been too over the top and annoying for me.

Although there were some funny moments, the humor is often too corny IMHO. If they tone down the cheesy humor and make it a bit more character driven and clever, it might be more enjoyable, but judging from this pilot episode, they aren't even close to the caliber of something like Cheers, Friends or The Office. 5.5 stars It's watchable but I would seek it out!
