In October 2001, McEntire premiered her half-hour television sitcom "Reba" on the WB network. The show was based around divorced mother Reba Hart, who learns how to handle life situations after her husband divorces her in order to marry his dental hygienist––with whom he's been cheating and gotten pregnant––and then their teenage daughter becomes pregnant as well. "Reba" garnered critical acclaim and success, becoming the network's highest-rated television show for adults ranging from the ages of eighteen to forty nine. The show ran for six seasons and earned McEntire a nomination for a Golden Globe award. It was cancelled on February 18, 2007; the series finale had 8.7 million viewers.
