Wiki,
Info about the "Ellen Show"
The Ellen Show was a television sitcom starring Ellen DeGeneres that aired during the 2001-2002
season on CBS. It was DeGeneres’ second attempt at a sitcom, after These Friends of Mine/Ellen on
ABC (1994-1998), but it was unable to garner strong ratings and was quickly cancelled.
After coming out of the closet as a lesbian on her first sitcom, DeGeneres’ character on The Ellen
Show, Ellen Richmond, was also a lesbian, although the show did not focus as heavily on the
character’s sexuality as did the final season of her first sitcom.
The Ellen Show consisted of 18 episodes, it was canceled mid-way through its first season. The
final 5 episodes of the series were never aired, but are available on DVD.

THE PLOT-
Ellen Richmond decides to trade the stresses of her fast-track, big-city lifestyle for the slower
pace of her quieter hometown, where she is known and loved. It remains to be seen, however, whether
or not returning to her hometown, a fishbowl of a place, and her eccentric mother, Dot, and
scatter-brained sister, Catherine, is the best course of action. At home, Ellen becomes
reacquainted with her senior prom date, Rusty, who thinks they can pick up where they left off
(which, since she’s a lesbian, seems unlikely), and her befuddled high school teacher, Mr. Munn.
Though worlds apart from the people who love her, Ellen begins to adjust to a very different way of
life.
The Ellen Show also starred Cloris Leachman, Martin Mull, Jim Gaffigan and Emily
Rutherfurd.
