Trivia

While Portia de Rossi Degeneres was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2010, Oprah told Portia that when Oprah played the therapist on the "coming out" episode of Ellen, Oprah got more hate mail about that minor appearance than she had ever gotten during her entire previous career as a talk-show host and actress.

I like it more and more
1 August 2000 | by (Mainbernheim,Germany) – See all my reviews

In my opinion, the show was a bit boring at the beginning. Just another comedy that tries to be funny. (this time with a book shop as setting)But after Ellen´s outing quite much has changed, the stories have become really intresting, and in general the show has turned to something special and unique now. The difficult (???) topic has been presented in a very sensitive way and besides the´ve tried to fight against all the silly prejudices which are in the heads of too many people.Furthermore I like that we can laugh with Ellen, not about her. (that´s quite unusual for gay characters on TV). I´m impressed of her honesty and strength to share a part of her private life with the public. ELLEN- YOU`RE GREAT!!! Of course,I love the rest of the cast as well (JOELY,CLEA,JEREMY,DAVID)They´re like everyone´s friends. They get on your nerves, tease you, know everything better - but nevertheless you can´t live without them. In the meantime, I must confess that I hardly can´t live without Ellen and fortunately, it´s back on German TV!
