Ellen, which was titled "These Friends of Mine" during its first season, is comedy about the life of a young woman by the name of Ellen Morgan - a neurotic, thirty-something, bookstore employee who tries to get by life in dealing with her many random foils and follies (and not to mention her annoying and overbearing parents, Lois and Harold). Thanks to her friends, however, among them including the bubbly redhead Paige, insecure photographer Adam, her unsure-of-himself cousin Spence, coffee shop guy Joe Farrell, and the critical and obnoxious Audrey, Ellen is able to find the security, and the sanity, to get through her less than normal every day life.

The show can be described as a combination between popular sitcoms Seinfeld and Friends, blending a perfect mix of comedy and situational humor with the drama and excitement of every day issues and life in the "real world".less «

• Favorite Episode?

  To get fans of Ellen involved in this forum I am going to set up a few threads which anyone and everyone who visit can participate in. My favorite episode is probably the Puppy Episodes. These are classic episodes and Ellen's coming out couldn't have been funnier. Now, what's your favorite episode?

  The very best in morning television...a great personality! There is always a good start to the day watching Ellen and her guests. She is so balanced and she is the most sincere personality on live television, even if the show is taped a day or two in advance. Ellen makes people feel good about being alive and if you enjoy programing which is NOT negative and filled with put-downs, then Ellen in the morning [ 9: AM here on the East coast] is a welcomed breath of fresh air after the news...which I do not watch. Ellen allows my breakfast to digest with laughter not remorse.
  I just wish the program aired two times a day then my bed time would be as good as breakfast.

  9.9 Superb

  Pushed the edge hide « show »

  I do not understand why so many people thought this show was "TOO GAY It was a great show. Also, if it were not for ELLEN, we would never have had WILL & GRACE. Think about it, ELLEN goes off one season, WILL & GRACE is on the next season. Unfortunately, ELLEN had to be the martyr for future shows such as QUEER AS FOLK, WILL & GRACE, and the like. I really hate the gay theme overshadows this series too. This show was as close to LAVERNE & SHIRLEY I can think of since LAVERNE & SHIRLEY went off the air. For example, if you watch the episode titled "The Spa" you will see Ellen and Paige trying to fight while being stuck in the gate. This reminds me of the LAVERNE & SHIRLEY episode where Laverne and Shirley try to run and jump off the coat hook on the wall. I am grateful this show was released on DVD and I watch it often. Anyway, watch for yourself, see how the gay episodes were ahead of their time or just watch for the humor that was this show from the start.

  8.8 Great

  Funny and Gay hide « show »

  Could it get any better? Ellen was funny, heart breaking at times, mundane the next, weird later but mostly it was great comedy from a woman who happened to be gay We all knew it. The veiled references. You didn't have to be built with a lesbian-gaydar to realise that Ellen doesn't wear anything but other than pants was swinging for the other team. It never detracted from the TV show though. In fact it made it funnier in some ways, this is probably when she actually came out I drifted off and started watching other things - but Ellen will always have a gay place in my heart for being the first TV show to mix gayness and humour in such a fabulous way.

  The show started as a show about a woman and her friends living in LA. It became a REALLY different show when Ellen and her character came out of the closet. hide « show »

  The show was very entertaining and funny. The first couple of season had bust out laughing, funny episodes. It was a great show that all people could watch and find absolutely hilarious. When Ellen decided to come out of the closet and bring her character out as well the show went in a totally different direction. The show had a lot of jokes that pertained mostly to the lesbian community making the show harder for people to relate with. I did understand of lot of the jokes, for obvious reasons, but I noticed when watching with others that they found it less funny and were often confused, asking answer of me. The show was a great show and I loved the episodes after Ellen came out but watching the first couple of seasons the show changed dramatically.

  9.7 Superb

  Ellen DeGeneras is great! hide « show »

  I borrowed the first season from the lcal library (as I did with many other shows) and let's just say that I think this show is amazing. As usual Ellen DeGeneras never ceases to amaze me. Let's say I'm a network, well I'm picking up this show's second season and beyond!! I can't wait until I'm done with the first season and move on to season 2. I wish her 2001-2002 show would have lasted longer. I've never seen it before, but I'm sure it had to have been great as well. The confusing part for me is that it says A&E on the case but yet the show aired on ABC, weird huh?
