KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — We spotted a few more Easter eggs referencing Knoxville and Tennessee in the latest episode of Reba McEntire's new sitcom, "Happy's Place."
The show is set in Knoxville and follows Reba's character, Bobbie, after she inherits her father's restaurant: Happy's Place.
Friday's episode, "Ladies' Night," centered around Gabby's latest heartbreak and Bobbie and Isabella threw a Ladies Night at the bar. Here are a few of the ones we spotted during the fifth episode:
We first saw a background actor sporting a "Keep Knoxville Scruffy" hoodie. Keep Knoxville Scruffy is a slogan that is meant to support local food, music, culture and history in Knoxville.
The nickname "Scruffy City" came from skepticism about Knoxville's ability to successfully host a World's Fair. The city was described as a "scruffy little city" in a Wall Street Journal article in 1982. When the fair became a success, buttons were made by fair officials that read "The Scruffy Little City Did It," according to World's Fair Park.
We also saw a couple of cases of Nashville's Tennessee Brew Works sitting on the top left of the shelf in the background of Bobbie's office.
And we couldn't help but spot more Tennessee Football merch. The character Takoda, played by Tokala Black Elk can be seen wearing a Tennessee Football shirt.
Reba even invited Knoxville to come to her new home "Happy's Place." She said that's where she finds her family and that it's "the best tavern in Tennessee."
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for any more Knoxville references in the next episode. Happy's Place airs on NBC Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.
