 The Ellen Show | PopMatters Television Review
In other words, CBS probably wanted it clear from the start that this, unlike her previous series, is not a "lesbian show," but a show in which the main character just happens to be a lesbian -- an uneasy and unclear difference to be sure.
For example, Ellen's sweet, relatively naive sister Catherine, who is desperate to land a husband (so much for the show's sexual politics), is reduced to a running joke as she flies after every single man that crosses her path.
It not only gives the show's writers the opportunity to introduce new characters (maybe even another lesbian gym teacher?), but it can move the show away from its "city girl vs. small town" premise, which only limits DeGeneres' talents to reacting to the absurdities of her surroundings.

 Ellen DeGeneres | The Ellen Show | tv : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
As a calculated tonic to the polemicized last season of ''Ellen'' -- which took so much political heat that it was written off as unfunny, arguably an unfair assessment -- ''The Ellen Show'' is a slice of Nick at Nite, albeit with a matter of factly gay lead character.
CBS is betting that the TV audience will be a lot keener on spending Friday nights at home with ''The Ellen Show'' than Leachman is. Why strand a high-profile newbie on a traditionally backwater night?
DeGeneres remains keenly aware that everybody does not necessarily love Ellen -- or ''Ellen,'' or possibly, by extrapolation, ''The Ellen Show.'' After chatting a good hour with no holds barred, she comes back for a follow-up the next day with a full blown panic attack comedy routine at the ready.
