That was just an episode about Reba finally admitting that she’s friends with Barbra Jean. But Matt Barry, my number two, was also on Reba, and we ended that series as well ending the show. Did you look to any of those finales for inspiration? TVLINE | You’ve worked on a number of long-running sitcoms, including The Golden Girls, the original Roseanne, and Reba.

In the pilot, Kyle was a new employee, so it would have felt correct, in terms of, you know, fulfilling that circle, completing the arc of the character. TVLINE | To be clear, it would have been Kyle, Mandy and Sarah moving away? And Ed just… tagging along?Ĭorrect. You would say goodbye to Kyle and Ed, and have the other characters express how they were feeling what was happening. One was that Kyle leaves to join the priesthood. ![]() TVLINE | What can you tell me about the two other stories that got scrapped? ![]()
