NBC seems to be happy with “Happy’s Place.” The NBC comedy starring Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman was given five additional episodes, bringing its Season 1 episode count up to 18.
It’s not entirely surprising that the network would be eager to continue this show. The premiere of “Happy’s Place” saw 14 million viewers across all platforms. The premiere improved NBC’s Friday night timeslot from 8 – 8:30 p.m. by 90% among total viewers and 88% in the 18-49 demo.
The comedy stars McEntire as Bobbie, a woman who inherits her late father’s taverns, known as Happy’s Place.
