The Ranch is a sitcom that ran for four seasons between 2016 and 2020. The Comedy and Drama series was created by Don Reo and Jim Patterson for Netflix and starred Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Sam Elliot, and Debra Winger. The premise revolved around a Rancher and his two sons who owned a Ranch in Colorado and all of the drama that unfolded within their family.

Based on their similar premises, Happy’s Place has the potential to be a great replacement for the Netflix Western sitcom The Ranch. Set in the fictional small town of Garrison, Colorado, The Ranch followed That ’70s Show stars Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson as Colt and Rooster Bennett, two brothers who help run the titular cattle ranch owned by their father Beau (Sam Elliott).

The Ranch also starred Debra Winger as Maggie Bennett, Beau’s ex-wife and Colt and Rooster’s mother, who owns the local bar.

Happy’s Place and The Ranch share similar central settings and both feature prior sitcom stars.

Like The Ranch,Happy’s Place also follows two siblings running the family business in a small rural town.

There are some key differences, of course, like the fact that Colt and Rooster grew up together and share the same mother and father, both of whom are still alive. Still, Happy’s Place and The Ranch share similar central settings and both feature prior sitcom stars. So far, Happy’s Place is shaping up to be a solid replacement for fans of The Ranch.
