This was the first show I watched regularly after elementary school that wasn't marketed for kids. Like I graduated from PBS Kids to UPN 😂 It has a soft spot in my heart.
I am cry laughing at that mention - UPN!! Had all the good stuff. Moesha, season 4 of digimon... Jeez lol. I think I used to watch Reba on wb though. It was scheduled near blue collar tv if I remember correctly. Couldn't miss that!
@@bannedepisodes8151 they're both good in my view (in their own way I guess), but Reba has an entirely different format/formula than ELR. I remember it mostly when it was still new/airing as a kid, and compared to ELR it's very different in structure (writing, content/material, theme and character flow). I don't think such completely different shows can be highly comparable 1:1 given the big difference/elements to them. Not saying you can't like one and not another, but they are pretty different styles of shows and probably not meant to compete/be similar in any way.
I agree! With the TH-cam channels we don’t get to have that. I wasn’t a huge fan of this specific show but others I still know the song and it got me excited once a week or day ❤️
Steve Howey is the shit. He’s also in Shameless, if you’ve ever seen that. He’s got that lovable, but not so smart (and very funny) thing down pat, both his characters are similar in that way.
Joel Munoz reminds me when I was like 5 years old in elementary school kindergarden i think this would be on when I got home from school at 3:30 pm and put down my back pack at the front door by the banister near the kitchen table as the sunlight hit the inside of the house just right radiating like I was in heaven as the warmth graced my face...good times 😢
@@jacubtscorpio5084 broooo I’m like freaking out. I have this exact same memory. I would come home from kindergarten to the smell of my mom making tortillas 😂 as I walked in I could see the little dust particles floating in the ray of sunshine coming from the door. I would go straight to the kitchen while this song played, put my backpack on the chair, grab a caprisun (ofc my mom had to help me put the straw in) and then I would run to the living room so I could watch Reba 😂 the good times when I wasn’t depressed and actually happy. I would also watch the clock go by even tho I didn’t know how to tell time bc I was excited for my dad to come home.
My memories of this show are precious. My older sister either at work or with friends, my dad at work, and just me and my mom eating dinner around 5pm right when Reba would play on Canadian networks. It's silly but I'll always treasure this show since it was time spent with my Mum during those angsty teenage years.
I always loved the Pilot theme song with the ending slides of the guitar when she sang “I’m a survivor.” These bring back so many childhood memories! I still watch reruns on the daily
Man this theme song is amazing, I am jamming so hard to this theme song, Reba McEntire had an outstanding sitcom and a wonderful theme song, love this so much
I'm here because this song has been on TikTok. The lyrics were "single mom who works two jobs.". I said "woah hey... I watched Reba for years... Isn't it 'single mom who works too hard??'". My wife was like ummmmm nope... I'm texan.. I know country songs. So I came here to prove it. "See!! 'too hard!'"
I used to watch this on Lifetime in between episodes of “The Golden Girls.” It’s actually kind of fun. :D I especially like the interactions between Reba and Barbara Jean (I can’t think of many other shows that have the ex-wife and the new wife as friends). It was an interesting take on divorce that you don’t see a lot on TV. Plus as a closeted gay man, I enjoyed watching Steve Howey, too. :p
+drummer703 I don't know, I feel like the season one theme just gives a depressing tone while the later seasons give it a more upbeat tone making me want to dance and smile.
+Joseph Dutra plus I like that the first season sets a tone, like how u say the other seasons u smile and dance, the first season is like really feels out the story of this single mother still making it raising her kids and making the family work without being with their father. But no matter which opening I didn't think I would like the show as much as I do it's so funny
Am I the only one who remembers the episode where her youngest daughter invited her friends over for a pool party and Reba was scared because they were all black?
ME TOO. I literally came here looking for this because I’ve been seeing all the Tiktok trends lately and I know for a fact it was “single mom who works too hard” and not “two jobs” the og Reba fans know what’s up lmao
Lol yup, although it’s the reverse. I’m a Survivor was released as a song before the show existed. In that version, which is showing up on TikTok now, she says “two jobs.” There’s also a first part of the chorus that was omitted from the show theme. It was edited to make sense in the context of the show.
...why, why am I here? i just got the notion to look up that weird footage of reba posing for the camera with the blurry background, why? i don't know.
Girl me too. It reminded me of the summer of 2004. Idk why it just did. I was 19 and wanted to be gone every night until Friday night when Reba would come on. I use to watch her with my Nana. I'd give anything to have those days back. She died in 2015 and I miss her so much.
Yeah sounds to me like they ultimately achieved the most satisfying blend of multi-layered vocal melodies and musical arrangement. It doesn’t look like the song was originally written for the show if you notice the lyric- “…who works two jobs” was changed to “… who works real hard“. But either way, add it to the list of best TV show theme songs.
Only fuck this bring back so much memories… when my aunt was still alive we use to go down to Florida to visit her and every-time I woke up I’d hear this fucking song. Can I go back? Please. I miss the old house… and fuck I miss her
2:15 I KNEW this version of "I'm a surviiiiiiivoooooor" existed, I remember being so confused hearing the full version of the song and not hearing that version where she ended on the higher pitch

I love that this exists. Why would someone ever need/want to see these? Yet, here I am.
Same!!
TooManySteamGames As Reba says in the beginning "Heh HEY!"
TooManySteamGames a better question is, why would someone ever not need/want to see these?
Memories. I remember this show when I was a kid/teen and it would play on TV often.
I literally have no idea how I got here but I’m embracing it
This theme song feels like a fever dream. Unlocked memories I completely forgot about
Right though 😳
I’m 13, sang this in the shower and I was so confused on how I knew it. Googled it, brought me here, still confused
@@user-rm5ws2xp6c I’m 17 and don’t know why I know this show either😭
I used to watch this with my mom lmaooo I’m 18 now
RIGHT!!!! Cant Believe TikTok brought me back
This was the first show I watched regularly after elementary school that wasn't marketed for kids. Like I graduated from PBS Kids to UPN 😂 It has a soft spot in my heart.
Same here , every day from 4 to 5😭😭

Oh my when I tell you I would literally rush off that bus to make sure I didn’t miss the new episode for Reba 😂😂😂😂 in 06 & 07
@@XavierZaee😂😂😂
She knew what worked. The song and meaning never changed, just the vibe. I love it.
Sis ate and left no crumbs for 6 seasons straight. Queen shit if you ask me
I totally forgot i watched every single episode of Reba as a kid. Seeing this felt like a fever dream.
same. this brought some crazy nostalgia..
Same here
Yeah
That "hey hey!" part has me rollin everytime lmao
Lynn Summer I love that! It cracks me up.
Lynn Summer Omg... me too.
Lmfaooooo
Me too
My wife and I are on a Reba binge and we Shout,"HEY HEY!!" along with the show and our 18 month old LOVES IT and the theme song!
This just feels like the sun setting early in late Fall & afternoon snacks
😍 nailed it!
Sums it up perfectly 🍁🍿
I’ve never watched this and I know exactly what you mean!
Ugh perfect
I hate how accurate this is
There will never be a show like this, funny as hell and touching
kylephantom4 I love this theme song and the show!!
The show isn't funny, it's sad it sucks ass, Everybody Loves Raymond is better than this horseshit

good god Barbara Jean was so annoying!
I only liked the theme
I miss tv sitcoms with catchy theme songs, it be something people be looking forward to singing along
I agree! With the TH-cam channels we don’t get to have that. I wasn’t a huge fan of this specific show but others I still know the song and it got me excited once a week or day ❤️
Exactly! Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill I'm looking at you 😂
@@amyesparza4396 was thinking that. I was gonna comment thid
@@alyssazissi9226 found my people LOL XD
Anime is the king of this department
He doesn’t get enough credit for it, but Van was God-tier comedy. The episode with his charming face my god 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steve Howey is the shit. He’s also in Shameless, if you’ve ever seen that. He’s got that lovable, but not so smart (and very funny) thing down pat, both his characters are similar in that way.
He definitely made the show funny
@@lindsaydonovan3236 jus started watching this year. Love the show and especially him and Vee!
Bro Van made an was the reason I watched this show. Barbara Jean was funny too haha damn good time watching this show
reminds me when i used to work at the nursing home. everyday this was on tv
Joel Munoz

@@meraynareyes2142 man, thinking about these old sitcoms always makes me so melancholic
The Saxophone theme thatSeasons two-four use really parallels with the deeper turn in the show
Kinda like an electronic-baritone saxophone for seasons 2 thru 4.
@@dereklyons2076 I always wondered what that sound was. I just thought it was a violin being played real low. That makes sense.
Best instrument used for the theme song it fits the show idk why they removed it
Huh- Hey!
who i am is who i want to be
Shane Premont im a survivor
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I loved this show. It got me through some hard times. Even when I was at my lowest, I was still able to laugh at, and enjoy this show
The fact she re-recorded that song and added some RUNS
A SINGER
For some reason they make the theme song way more optimistic than the actual song
One of my favorite childhood shows of all time
Seeing all these people here from Tiktok 11 years later is heartwarming.
Season 3’s theme is THAT girl
Absofuckinlutely
I really like that saxophone and "Hey hey!" They added for seasons 2, 3 and 4
No u dont
lol it's been about 7 years and I still remember the lyrics.
It's been 13 years no and still gives me chills.
They’re hardly that taxing lol
I had no business singing that song at such a young age like I was such a hard working mom
I used to LOVE this theme song
jacksonfan4life123 i still love it
The drums always kickin 🤟👌
My memories of this show are precious. My older sister either at work or with friends, my dad at work, and just me and my mom eating dinner around 5pm right when Reba would play on Canadian networks.

How can you not love Reba
I knoooooow
You're so right about that. I've been 1 of her fans since 1987.
I actually love that Tiktok has made a trend using this song! I loved watching Reba when I would get home from school as a kid 🥺 The nostalgia!!❤️
Good for the Chinese Spyware.
I always loved the Pilot theme song with the ending slides of the guitar when she sang “I’m a survivor.” These bring back so many childhood memories! I still watch reruns on the daily
i will never understand why they took out that groovy saxophone
season 1 theme was my fav i alwayz found it soothing lol its like she poured all her heart into this i love it
@@abieltesfageber3473 oh
Season 1 absolutely the best
I like how they actually changed the intro theme through the seasons
I fucking LOVE when shows do that every few seasons.
I love this show.. Still watch it.
same
Same
Me too
after the sixth time watching it i started to cry
This was stuck in my head last night at 3 am on a school night,i had to listen to it today
1:54 that's what I remember!!
I'M A SURVIVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
The season 1 theme was my favorite.
Same here!
PaisaEsteban really I liked the season 5-6
scottie781x I like the season 5-6
No one roo long, etc. It got better screne & all. 3-6 Last season.
Well I am not site my fave, but the theme sing music video montage got better too.
Man this theme song is amazing, I am jamming so hard to this theme song, Reba McEntire had an outstanding sitcom and a wonderful theme song, love this so much
I didn't know I needed this until now
Me too.
I'm here because this song has been on TikTok. The lyrics were "single mom who works two jobs.". I said "woah hey... I watched Reba for years... Isn't it 'single mom who works too hard??'". My wife was like ummmmm nope... I'm texan.. I know country songs. So I came here to prove it. "See!! 'too hard!'"
The original song that came out before the tv show says “two jobs” the theme song for the show says “too hard”.
I love the season 5 & 6 intro how they did that switch up with the production
I used to watch this on Lifetime in between episodes of “The Golden Girls.” It’s actually kind of fun. :D I especially like the interactions between Reba and Barbara Jean (I can’t think of many other shows that have the ex-wife and the new wife as friends). It was an interesting take on divorce that you don’t see a lot on TV. Plus as a closeted gay man, I enjoyed watching Steve Howey, too. :p
I am with you on alllll of those points! :P
does anybody else laugh when reba rolls her eyes after brocks seen
Shane Premont what minute?
They're all great, but season 1 is my favorite.
True
+drummer703 I don't know, I feel like the season one theme just gives a depressing tone while the later seasons give it a more upbeat tone making me want to dance and smile.
Joseph Dutra true that the others are more upbeat, but I like the softer and smoother tone the first season has.
drummer703 well to each their own
+Joseph Dutra plus I like that the first season sets a tone, like how u say the other seasons u smile and dance, the first season is like really feels out the story of this single mother still making it raising her kids and making the family work without being with their father.

My mom used to watch this all the time
Wow I never knew there was a difference between the season 3/4 intro and the season 5/6 intro lol.
I noticed. Sort of.
this show ended a year after I was born, but I distinctly remember watching reruns and eating ice while watching Reba every day
This is my favorite anime
who's here after that Tik Tok about the theme song
I love how it’s been years since I watched the show and I sing and remember the tune like it was this morning
Am I the only one who remembers the episode where her youngest daughter invited her friends over for a pool party and Reba was scared because they were all black?
WHAT
What episode was this I don’t remember!
I’ve seen every episode, and that never happened.
I loved this show growing up I came just to hear the song again 😢❤
FROM THE PILOT TO S6E13 THIS SHOW WAS LEGENDARY...
Favourite show since I was 8. (15 now)
I love Reba soo much.. Wish it was still on .
I knew it said “a single mom who works too hard” not “two jobs” originally
same
ME TOO. I literally came here looking for this because I’ve been seeing all the Tiktok trends lately and I know for a fact it was “single mom who works too hard” and not “two jobs” the og Reba fans know what’s up lmao

0:39 "YOU WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BRING THE ICE!"
Reba is so underrated
The fact I was actively looking for this says a lot about me I guess
The best shot was Kyra going out the door saying "please just one more punch"
2019 anyone......
As a Houstonian, the Houston they depicted on the show is hilarious. Lol. Great theme song!
😔 I wish I had a theme song like that to start my day.
i loved watching reba! it’s so good! ☺️😭
Listening to this on repeat from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm nearly drove me to the brink of insanity.
Me and my grandma would watch this during my summer vacations as a kid in local TV.
GET WHOLESOME EVERYBODY!
10 years later after Reba ended i only discovered this show maybe few years ago when my mom was alive and we'd watch it together
I never watched this show, but that theme song is something that I heard a lot during my childhood.
I'd watch Reba over and over again if I could!!!: ) I luv Reba!
1:39 I didn't mind the Season 2 opening but I like the Season 5 one
I need to do a 'Reba' marathon!!! It's so good. Van and Barbara Jean were the best!
I"m turning to Reba for a project in theater! So excited.
aww i remember watching this with my mom. reminder that Jesus loves yall n its not too late to come to Him
Evolved from country to country-hop over the years.
...why, why am I here? i just got the notion to look up that weird footage of reba posing for the camera with the blurry background, why? i don't know.
It's so old it got blurrier.
My grandmother watched this show religiously
Same when I was so young too I remember it
@@glassgames69 there will never be nothing that can compare to any of the shows from before my time
one of the best shows on TV
My favorite childhood show!! I'm only 14 tho! I love it
I love this theme song, got reminded of it today. This show was really good. ;)
I love Reba I over watch it too much I knew every joke every line when I was a kid even though it was mature for a 7 year old lol
i always remember when Reba was the only reason to stay up late on a friday night, no matter how tired i was
Girl me too. It reminded me of the summer of 2004. Idk why it just did. I was 19 and wanted to be gone every night until Friday night when Reba would come on. I use to watch her with my Nana. I'd give anything to have those days back. She died in 2015 and I miss her so much.
My childhood 🥺🙏🏾 and now ima survivor my damn self ! 💪🏽
i forgot this existed i heard this song and was reminded of a time i totally forgot about
Gotta love her man.
Yeah sounds to me like they ultimately achieved the most satisfying blend of multi-layered vocal melodies and musical arrangement. It doesn’t look like the song was originally written for the show if you notice the lyric- “…who works two jobs” was changed to “… who works real hard“. But either way, add it to the list of best TV show theme songs.
Season 3 is the best filmed theme ever because people can see it more and can actually see the actors & things well in the theme opening
here to say hi to shane....we all know the theme song btw ;)
The best thing they did was change the ‘I’m a survivorrrrrrr’ at the end of the song, to have more oomph in seasons 2-4 🙌🏼
Her voice is so beautiful
I Love All of Them!!!!!
I love the middle seasons with that bass saxophone.
I looooooooooove love love this show!
I absolutely love this woman. :D
I just love this show Reba Mcentire is so good of an actress
The first one is my favorite. The “I’m a survivorrrrr” hits different.
Only fuck this bring back so much memories… when my aunt was still alive we use to go down to Florida to visit her and every-time I woke up I’d hear this fucking song. Can I go back? Please.
I miss the old house… and fuck I miss her
I’m watching “Reba” atm. I have like 50 episodes saved on my DVR.
Lucky.
2:15 I KNEW this version of "I'm a surviiiiiiivoooooor" existed, I remember being so confused hearing the full version of the song and not hearing that version where she ended on the higher pitch
I loved this theme song and I loved this show.
teammm you loved? Bro I still love it
my 18 month old loves the intro song. her auntie got her hooked on the shows.
I love this song for real she sound amazing
