 | | In between her nineties sitcom, Ellen, with its groundbreaking “Puppy Episode,” and her current, very successful eponymous daytime talk show, Ellen DeGeneres starred in a short-lived sitcom for CBS called The Ellen Show. |
 | | The first few episodes feature Ellen learning the routines of her family, getting reacquainted with a former teacher (now principal) at her old high school and Rusty, the guy she dated back then (and now a high school teacher), before deciding to take a job at the high school as a guidance counselor. |
 | | Yes, that breakup Ellen refers to in the pilot episode was with a woman, making The Ellen Show the first television comedy to focus on a lesbian lead character from its inception. |
