    • Trivia
      While Portia de Rossi DeGeneres was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show (1986) in 2010, Oprah told Portia that when Oprah played the therapist on Seaon 4 Episode 22, "The Puppy Episode" (the "coming out" episode), Oprah got more hate mail about that minor appearance than she had gotten during her entire previous career as a talk-show host and an actress.
    • Goofs
      As of Season 3, Ellen's apartment is no longer upstairs: the characters go into the first floor apartment opposite Mrs. Koeger's. An establishing shot regularly shows that Ellen's apartment building is not exactly at ground level, since there are stairs leading to its entrance, from the sidewalk. However, its first floor isn't high up enough to be at the same level with the top floor of the opposite building which is seen on level from Ellen's balcony. Also, a couple of bushes clearly obstruct the view from the downstairs apartment's windows but Ellen has unobstructed view ahead, proving once and for all that Ellen's apartment is clearly the one upstairs--even throughout season 3. Furthermore, the top floor window is lit at night in the establishing shots, proving that it is Ellen's. Finally, the "balcony" seen in said frames appears to not be a balcony at all once seen from the outside view: there isn't nearly enough floor space. The balustrade appears to be smack against the window, with only a slim space to host potted plants, but evidently not large enough to accommodate Ellen's patio furniture.
    • Quotes

      Margaret: Ellen? Ellen, where are you?

      Ellen: [walks out of a coat closet] Here. I was in the closet.

      Margaret: It's big, isn't it?

      Ellen: Yeah, but I wouldn't want to spend a lot of time in there--entertaining or anything.

    a great show and a great lady
    If there was ever a true American heroine it is Ellen. This great woman puts the c in courage, the d in dignity and the g in great. That she is a warm, wonderful human being and side-splittingly funny is just so much gravy. She and her great ensemble cast made every episode first class. Ellen's character was always so good-hearted, thats what I liked the most about her.
