User reviews

I know that this show doesn't get much love here on IMDB. And I probably wouldn't have started watching it had I read the reviews before watching it. But one day this shows just randomly popped up on TV right in front of my eyes and I did like it. Only then I checked the rating. And I even held back starting watching it properly but I'm glad I got into it. Maybe it's because music is such a big part of the series that I like it so much. I even found out that Dave Stuart is one of the creators of the show. I never heard of Reba before but that doesn't make me like the show any less. My one criticism would go towards character depth, as I find some very one dimensional, but I understand that that goes with the format of the show. Overall I find the show very enjoyable. It's a shame it didn't last longer. If I happen to find another show which involves either Reba or Dave Stuart, I'll surely check it out.

I never watched Reba's first show, Reba! I'm glad I didn't because according to everyone I've talked to so far, Malibu Country is good but not as good as Reba. Of course this is the same whenever there is a follow up show, movie or whatever the case may be for a character/actor.

I've watched the show and it's good. I agree that right now it's new and some jokes fall flat others do not. But Lily, Jai and Reba are very good and so are the kids. I guess I could do without the neighbor but other than that, I'll keep watching. I really like Jai, he adds some zest to some scenes and the fact that he is of Latin heritage is a plus for me.

Was canceled way too soon. Was funny and a great sitcom!

First of all, I have to say it is the only show on currently with realistic shots of Malibu. So far I recognize every location. I love, respect and appreciate that realism. Second, Reba is wonderful, warm and fun to watch as usual. Having Lily Tomlin on the show is magical! I cannot wait until they find their real groove and let the humor flow as I know they will. It is a little canned right now. It will loosen up as they get used to each other. I'd say whatever the real relationship between Lily and Reba is, be it friendly, antagonistic or both, they can play on that and the talent these ladies have will show up on the screen. Also, I am going to say that having grown up 90 miles from Reba at the same time and having known her as a child, I know what courage it takes to have the open mind that she is exhibiting on this show and I think that is a path toward acceptance and love and I respect that too. Go girl! This show is a winner!

Same worn out story lines and overacting. Lilly Tomlin is awesome of course but otherwise, just go watch old Reba reruns. There's even a Barbra Jean character. The kids are u likable and the whole storyline is just idiotic.

Fluffy, funny, soft and hard, sweet and bitter all in one! This show, i thought was written by the stables of Chuck Lorre, made an impact in the Netherlands.

It is easy to watch, funny, a granny with a bite but also funny actress from other series/movies.

Just take it easy, it is lightweight entertainment, it can be a 'whoop' mixing old USA traditions Southern style and the free south California ways.

I liked it. I do not give it a ten, a 2 or a 5, i give it a go. Go on, make a few more! The cast is not yet fully glued to gether but it has promise. The lines/tekst will make or brake, the setting/idea is solid.

Wish i could be on the think tank/writers for this show! :-)

Boy the review from "davidleequinn1950" seems a little angry and homophobic. Perhaps David believes that Reba and Narvel are anti-gay (which they are not)or that Reba and her husband are "over the cliff Christian conservatives" (they are not and never have been.) Republican yes, nut-jobs no. Perhaps David should hope for "The Toby Keith show" or "The Ted Nugent Hour" and let his little girl watch that instead. Now that's off my chest so here is my actual review. The show is rocky, there have been some really funny lines but a lot falls flat. Reba is of course fantastic and Lilly Tomlin is great as her no nonsense mother. The kids are great as well. The Sara Rue character is a stereotype and annoying. The Jai Rodriguez character is also a stereotype and needs work. The jokes need work, some go well a lot goes bad, perhaps a change in writing staff could help with that.The concept of the show is good, Nashville family moves to Malibu and culture shock hi-jinx ensue. The ratings for the show have been strong, I think with some fine tuning "Malibu County" can be just as successful as "Reba" was (and still is on CMT). I give it a six because for the most part I think the premise is solid but as with every new show it has to find its balance. Good going Reba keep it up, we love you!

Maybe I'm not an American viewer (I'm a polish viewer) but we really have similar sense of humor :) Even though I didn't understand some parts(some words were hard to understand, I watched it without subtitles or a lector, but I understood like 80% of the statements and I really felt in love with that show! Some people may say "some jokes are not very deep" but hello - this is a COMEDY SITCOM. It's not an alternative movie. It's a comedy, it should be "light", easy and funny. And it is! The jokes are really funny. The jokes are very similar to jokes from many other sitcoms - just like Less Than Perfect, According To Jim or Rules of Engagement which is great because these sitcoms are the best sitcoms ever. I really liked the jokes (they're funnier than jokes from 2 Broke Girls or The Big Bang Theory) and I really loved the cast. They all are good actors and actress. But the best point of this show is Sara Rue - she is ABSOLUTELY Fabulous. She's the BEST comedy actress ever! She's so cute, so funny, I love the way she talks, she smiles, she acts. She's flawless. I wish we in Poland had a sitcom like this... Our sitcoms are usually crappy and no funny :( I hope that FOXLIFE or Comedy Central in Poland will show us Malibu Country.

I had not heard of this show before, but found it after I finished another show (Trophy Wife) and the show started playing automatically. I thought it was a current show and didn't know until after I finished the season that it ended in 2013. It's very funny and comforting, maybe because I'm southern living in the mid-west and I do love Reba and Lily Tomlin. It had me constantly laughing, it's charming and a little naughty (Lily Tomlin is to thank for that, lol). I'm pretty upset it was canceled after one season. This was a heck of a lot better than most tv series. I think it would've even been better in season 2, as a lot of shows find their groove in the 2nd season (Community, Parks & Rec and so many others). I hope Reba comes up with something else and I'd love for Kelly Clarkson to guest star now & then. They make a great team and I know Kelly has her talk show, which I love.

I didn't realize Reba had a reboot 6yrs later. Barbara Jean looks mostly the same, as does Kira. I'm not so sure on Jake. Where are Cheyenne and Van? Who knew Brock would leave dentistry to be a country singer? Crazy!!!
