The Ellen Degeneres Show Review

 The Ellen Degeneres show is about the best daytime talk show on the air.  I can't wait to watch the show on my DVR when I get home.  I so look forward to seeing good, clean, entertaining topics that I can relate to.  So many other talk shows deal with depressing or unimaginable topics, it's nice to watch something worth-while.

 Since the first show, I have been impressed by Ellen's energy, enthusiasm and genuine caring.  She is actually as excited to see the guests as I am.  She not only interacts with her audience, she encourages them and sometimes takes into account their personal situations and helps them.  She shows special kindnesses to children, charities and causes that are close to all our hearts.  Ellen also adds a human element to her show by sharing her own experiences and photos.  She even gives gifts and has contests that people at home can win.  When I watch her show, I almost feel as though I am in the audience.

 Alot of talk shows deal with the more unfortunate situations in today's society, such as drugs, medical illnesses, alcoholism and murders.  Some shows concentrate on the ridiculous like the paternity of some woman's child that's been contested five times or how a man cheated on his wife with his sister's brother-in-law.  I know that these topics need to be discussed.  I know that people tune in to certain shows just to see this type of venue.  I am just glad that there is an alternative.

 The Ellen Degeneres show is one talk show that you can turn on and watch.  You don't need to check the topic and then turn the channel.  I have yet to see an episode of this show that I didn't enjoy.  I've watched and enjoyed the shows that had celebrity guests that I didn't particularly care for or was not familiar with.  I have even shed tears with Ellen or her guests when tragedies or heart-wrenching topics were discussed.  I went as far as to visit her website, and it was nice.

 More talk show hosts should take a cue from Ellen and lighten up their shows.  The majority of the serious television viewers would rather see a light, uplifting talk show than one that leaves them angry or depressed.  People have enough negativity in their lives already.
