Knoxville’s Easter Eggs Shine in Reba McEntire’s New Sitcom, “Happy’s Place”

Hey, Knoxville! Gather round because we’ve got some exciting news about the latest episode of Reba McEntire’s joyous sitcom, “Happy’s Place”, and let me tell you, the charm of our beloved city is sprinkled throughout the show like confetti at a party! Set right here in our own Knoxville, the series brings to life the adventures of Reba’s character, Bobbie, as she takes on the challenges of running her late father’s restaurant, Happy’s Place.

What Happened in “Ladies’ Night”?

In the latest episode titled “Ladies’ Night”, our eyes were glued to the screen as we followed Gabby through the ups and downs of heartbreak. Meanwhile, Bobbie and her sidekick Isabella decided to host a lively Ladies Night at the bar, and let’s just say, it was the place to be!

Knoxville Pride on Display

The episode wasn’t just delightful—it was also a love letter to our hometown! One standout moment included a background actor sporting a “Keep Knoxville Scruffy” hoodie. For those who may not know, this slogan is all about supporting our local food, music, culture, and history. The phrase “Scruffy City” actually comes from a quirky piece of history. Back in 1982, a Wall Street Journal article referred to Knoxville as a “scruffy little city” just before we successfully hosted a World’s Fair. Guess what? That nickname stuck, and it’s now a badge of honor for us!

Brews and Football

But wait, there’s more! As if you needed another reason to watch, we caught sight of a few cases of Tennessee Brew Works beer stacked on Bobbie’s office shelf. That’s right, nothing says “Tennessee” quite like our local brews. And if you’re a Vols fan—who isn’t?—you’ll be thrilled to know that the character Takoda, played by Tokala Black Elk, proudly wore a Tennessee Football shirt. Go Vols! Talk about school spirit!

Reba’s Warm Invitation

In a heartwarming moment, Reba McEntire’s character invited all of Knoxville to join her at “Happy’s Place”, describing it as the “best tavern in Tennessee”. Honestly, we couldn’t agree more! It’s as if she’s inviting us all to a big family gathering, and how sweet is that? The show’s portrayal of community and togetherness just makes you feel good!

What’s Next?

If you’ve been falling in love with Knoxville as you watch “Happy’s Place,” you’re definitely not alone! So, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for even more hidden gems and local references in upcoming episodes. Who knows what else they’ll sneak in? The show airs every Friday on NBC at 8 p.m. ET, and it’s the perfect way to kick off your weekend with a smile.
