Ellen Show, The - The Complete Series (DVD, 2006)

This series was from Ellen's fallout period. Such a shame that it never caught on. The episode "Vanity Hair" is an absolute riot. I purchased the set just for that episode. The only sad thing is that after watching the series, you will crave more and there will never be more from this outstanding cast.

I had seen 2 episodes of this show when it first aired and I really liked it. Ellen, president of her own dotcom company goes back home to smalltown "Clark" to visit her family. During this visit, she discovers her business has folded and decides to stay in town. The show presents a funny look at small-town Americana at its most quirky but wholesome. It is engaging and fun to watch. I was both surprised and disappointed when I heard that it was cancelled. There are some really good, funny moments here. In one episode, Mary Tyler Moore guest stars as Ellen's aunt and it was really funny. I looked for sales of this show online and I was glad to find it on ebay. The cast is excellent: Jim Gaffigan, Cloris Leachman (who is very funny playing Ellen' mom), Martin Mull and Kerri Kenney. Ellen herself is in top form playing a woman who is maybe a little bit more assertive than the character she played on the other "Ellen" series.

The Ellen Show was a terrific series and shouldn't have been canceled after the first season. Cloris Leachman added humor as Ellen's mother, and the supporting cast were very entertaining. Unlike the first Ellen sitcom series, this series did not focus solely on the GAY issues--which I believe was the #1 reason that her first series failed.

I was happy with the DVD. thank you for the quick service, you gave a good disruption of the product, and it was price right for me I hope to see more grate deals from you I'll be looking for them thank you again Dana

I watched the whole season in one night. I got started and couldn't stop. This sitcom is great but not as good as The first series. There doesn't seem to be the interaction with the characters as in the first. Still it's a shame there was only one season of it! If you're an Ellen fan don't miss it!!!!!!

I have to say this is better than "ellen" really really good. She's being herself in this show and really funny!
