 Ellen - Television Review
Based on the stand-up comedy of Ellen DeGeneres, ELLEN centers on Ellen Morgan (DeGeneres), a quirky, single, thirtysomething, vegetarian, animal-loving bookstore owner living in Los Angeles who deals with the everyday trials and tribulations of life by keeping a positive attitude, maintaining her sense of humor, and rambling excessively.
Many of Ellen's predicaments are reminiscent of classic I Love Lucy episodes, including the time that she accidentally appears at a funeral home in a chicken suit, and another when she saves Audrey from a car dealership cult created for new car owners.
While that moment made television history and opened the door for other openly gay characters to appear on mainstream television, Ellen Morgan's coming out led the series away from poking fun at the mundane to addressing serious issues surrounding sexual orientation and same-sex relationships.

 Edgar & Ellen - Television Review
Based on a book series by Charles Ogden, the lively animated show EDGAR and ELLEN revolves around the titular 12-year-old twins, whose primary mission in life is playing mischievous practical jokes (on each other as well as classmates and teachers) and putting the snooty residents of Nod's Limbs in their place.
Edgar (voiced by Kathleen Barr) and Ellen (Jillian Michaels) are a cross between the eccentric Addams Family children and Bart Simpson: They have unruly fl hair and deathly pale skin, wear striped footie pajamas 24/7, and live in a huge, spooky, run-down mansion on the outskirts of town -- and they're incorrigible pranksters.
Although the series may appear to condone playing pranks in school and picking on those who are different from you, there are usually consequences for these actions, and much of the show's humor is mined from Edgar and Ellen's devious plans backfiring on them -- which almost always happens.

The first television season of Ellen was actually called These Friends of Mine, and while the series sought to define itself through various tones and shades of comedy, the best episodes captured a middle ground between Seinfeld and Friends.
Ellen DeGeneres is both a brilliant centerpiece and generous ensemble player, constantly finding fresh ways to mine laughs from her ever-rambling, guilt-ridden, and perpetually dissatisfied heroine.
Ellen truly is a comedic genius and she works well with this first season cast (though I must say she has much better chemistry with the later casts).
