I just finished over the past two days watching the 18 episodes of this show and I cannot believe it was cancelled! It was so funny to see these episodes. I am very glad and proud that they made this show but I am very sad that they didn't continue it. I know why Ellen Degeneres was very sad about this show being cancelled because she loved making people be happy and making people laugh. I am very glad that even though she had a rough start telling people that she was gay she continued being herself as a actress and talk host on her show. Some people said that she acted too gay on this show but she wasn't acting too gay at all she was being herself and her character. I am glad that people appreciate her more now then they did before since of her being gay. I really feel that Ellen Degeneres took a risk but if she didn't take a risk of telling everyone that she was gay she would not be as successful as she is now. No matter if u r gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual or trans gender u deserve to be treated with respect. I admire Ellen Degeneres and hope she continues on a bright path .

"The Ellen Show" was hilarious, with a fun cast, good chemistry amongst the regulars, and situations that could only happen to Ellen.CBS, as you've already read in the other comments, made little effort to promote this show, just sticking it in different spots thinking that it would magically find an audience. I'm a huge Ellen fan but could never find this show to watch! Fortunately I've now seen nearly every episode thanks to a mate in the UK and it really saddens me that this wonderful sitcom was never given its due. But, with Ellen's talk show doing so well and the DVDs of her earlier sitcom, Ellen, selling so well, perhaps "The Ellen Show" will one day see the light of day again!

I have watched the show and think is is quite funny. Who cares if she is gay in it. Will and Grace seems to get a lot of laughs on that premise. In fact it is one of the things the show is based on. No one seems to complain about the fact that the men in it are gay, and talk about it a lot! It's one of the best showns on tv. Now back to Ellen. I like it, I hope it finds an audience.

Ellen D is without a doubt one of the funniest comedians to grace the screen. She has developed her comedic timing and delivery on par with many of the greats (Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart). She has also decided, or have had decided for her, that for the time being, her personal sexuality choices cannot be separated from her characters. So, once again, Ellen plays a homosexual. I found this profoundly disappointing. It's like Bill Cosby launching yet another sitcom in which he plays the upper middle class father of two or three kids. We've been there, and we've seen that. And even if immensely popular the first time, it does gets old. Add to that the fact that huge sections of her potential audience ran from her last outing in an extremely similar role, and that there are already successful series which feature openly gay characters, this stuck this viewer as essentially a waste of talent. If the argument in favor for this show is that gays need the exposure, in all fairness, gays are still 10 times better represented than Italians, Asians, Native Americans, the elderly, and the entire state of New Jersey. Nothing new to see here folks, move along.
