    Depressing and unoriginal. The show is filled with cliches to the brim. The plot is unimaginative and tired, the acting average at best and the actor's habit of laughing at their own jokes no matter how unfunny is sad.

    This show manages to be worse than Working Class. I like Reba and was actually looking forward to this show but I can't watch it again. Sara Rue does do a good job in it but she cant overcome the fact that the jokes are very old and very stereotypical.

    Having watched "Reba" and enjoyed the joy very much. Having seen the work of Lillie Tomlin as most have, i respect the immense talent of both and can say that neither would be part of a project they felt would not work. However, i must admit that for what ever reason, they have chosen to stay "within" the box and we must all remember that their are cases where even great actors can not overcome poor writing and lack of creativity... NEVER EVER thought i would rate any piece of work assocaited with Reba poorly, but also know that the most critical person reviewing her work, is her!... luv ya Reba and know the most important value you have is honesty... good luck you guys and work ont his PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!… Expand

    The dialogue and situations (written by Kevin Abbott) are nothing special.

    The pilot for Malibu Country isn't the very worst show of the new season. But it's easily the greatest waste of talent.

    The deal you make with a series like this is, if it doesn't ask too much of you, you won't ask too much of it.
