BAR-BRA Jean's NAME!


The one thing that GRATED on my nerves was how the pronounced Barbra-Jeans NAME! WHY did they ALL say it so FAST???

They'd all say "BABBA-Jean" or "Barba-jean" They were always eliminating one of the "R's!"

Then there was Reba would say "BARBIE-Jean"

How could no one on that show pronounce the word BARBRA correctly? I know they all had that southern accent, but still!

I'm just glad they changed what they were calling her in season 1 = BJ. Ugh!

Well, isn't that how she got Brock to leave Reba for her?

Jus' sayin'

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked.

That wouldn't have ended in pregnancy.

True, but she could've tossed that in as a bonus.

Does anybody remember the joke in Season One when Brock is talking about his wedding to Barbara Jean and calls her "BJ" for the first time and Reba was like: "BJ?"
Brock: Yeah, it's short for -
Reba: Oh, I know what it's short for!

lol! OMG, I still kind of can't believe they dropped a joke like that on this show. :p

I love that line. Why isn't Reba doing any more comedy? She's one of the best tv actresses I've seen in years.
