Reba McEntire's new NBC sitcom Happy's Place was a crowd pleaser in its first week on air.

Deadline reports that the show raked in 10 million cross-platform viewers in the week that followed its debut last Friday (Oct. 18.) Fans turned in both to the live premiere on NBC and via on-demand streaming on Peacock.

The live and same-day window accounts for 4 million of those 10 million views. That's a jump of 90 percent in viewership during the 8-8:30PM Friday night time slot on NBC. The show then continued to be a Peacock draw throughout the week. Based on three-day viewership, the pilot episode has now become the network's best new comedy launch in Peacock history.
