Ellen DeGeneres is finally back! See, for those of you who don't
know, Ellen DeGeneres is a comedienne who had her own sitcom
"Ellen" that ran on ABC from 1998-1994. But the ratings started to
decline after she came out of the closet in the last season (I think it
was the last one). And it wasn't because people were homophobic--it's just that that's all she started talking about! Anyways after another failed sitcom and a public breakup Ellen
stayed out of the limelight for awhile. Then she appeared as "Dory"
in the hugely successful "Finding Nemo", and now she has her
own talk show! Unlike other talk shows (Oprah or Rosie), Ellen doesn't really suck
up to the guests. She makes jokes with them and acts like they're
her friends, instead of huge special people. And unlike Oprah or
Rosie, Ellen is not always shrieking or screaming, "Oh My
Gaaaaaaaaaad! We're going to have Sting! Oh my Gaaaaad! You
just have to buy his book....girl!" And the studio audience isn't
annoying either.....they actually let the guests and host TALK! I only get to see this show when I stay home sick from work. I wish
they'd show it in prime-time too!

Ellen always interups the object and is only interessted in takling about her self and the products her franchise sells.
Ellen provides somewhat enjoyable viewing in the morning. My major complaint is how repetitive the show is. A lot of the segments become repetitive very, very fast as do a lot of her peculiar little personal quirks, and I wish she would shake it up more by putting in more variety.
The humor is bland and safe (sometimes downright not funny) and while she's never demeaning or crude she can be pretty sarcastic and blase toward her audience members, she doesn't have the most charismatic personality. If the show has one good thing going for it it's that Ellen can usually bag the A-listers - which everyone loves to see.

I really liked Ellen's sitcom and her HBO special ("The Beginning"), but in recent years it seemed like Ellen might be losing her comedic touch. NOT SO, I'm glad to say. Ellen fits perfectly into her new environment, because interacting with people of all kinds is exactly what she does best. Ellen is quick-witted, amiable, and often laugh-out-loud funny. She has a very distinctive style that I feared may get old after all these years, but it still feels fresh because it's authentic. Ellen deserved another chance to conquer television, and I believe she just may pull it off this time. Wayne Brady should enjoy those Emmy's while they last -- there's some fierce competition in town, and it's not Sharon Osbourne.
The Ellen DeGeneres show is so funny; she is great at what she does. I believe that she is one of the funniest comics alive, she doesn't use dirty humor she uses everyday experiences to get a few laughs. The way she interacts with people is probably the funniest aspect of the show. All in all she is doing an amazing job, I hope that this show is around for a long time, Ellen deserves to have a hit. If you've never seen it WATCH it, it's amazing; it's one of the best hours of television. A+ This talk show gets four stars!
