SERIES PREMIERE: This isn’t a recommendation, just a note. This is the last official new series of the 2012 fall season lineup, and stars Reba McEntire as a former country music star who heads to Californee, Beverly Hillbillies style,with her mother along for support and wisecracks, to restart her music career. The noteworthy part of this, aside from McEntire’s unassuming likability, is the appearance of Lily Tomlin in the role of Reba’s cranky ex-hippie mother. Worth watching? Not really. Worth noting? Absolutely. And also worth noting is another supporting player, Sara Rue, who once headlined sitcoms of her own, and certainly knows her way around a punch line. For a full review, see Uncle Barky's Bytes.
