Ellen

Ellen is an American TV sitcom that graced ABC from March 29, 1994, to July 22, 1998, with a total of 109 episodes. Ellen DeGeneres stars as Ellen Morgan, a quirky bookstore owner navigating her thirties with a blend of neurotic charm. The show revolves around her interactions with her eccentric friends, her family, and the everyday challenges she faces. Notably, Ellen made history by being the first TV series where the main character openly came out as gay, a revelation that occurred in the 1997 “Puppy Episode.” This moment sparked significant media attention, generated controversy, and led ABC to advise parental guidance at the start of each episode. The catchy theme song, “So Called Friend,” performed by the Scottish band Texas, complements the show. Interestingly, a running gag was employed where each episode showcased a unique opening credit sequence due to Ellen’s quest for the perfect introduction.
