The Ellen Degeneres Show Review Summary

On September 8, 2003, a new breed of talk show took to the airwaves and became an immediate hit. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is, in the words of one reviewer, "The only talk show that doesn't leave me depressed or angry" because it's not a tabloid talk show, but instead focuses on comedy, celebrities and real human beings. Starting the show with a monologue, then a dance (one of the most popular segments of the show). DeGeneres then takes a seat on a simple set, converses with her DJ (a striking difference from other show that use a band or piped-in music) and introduces guests, who come out and chat. She is relatable, "Ellen's humor is often self- effacing, which makes her seem more like one of us" fun, "I have been impressed by Ellen's energy, enthusiasm and genuine caring"and enjoyable, "Ellen is an absolute pleasure to watch." She also seems to genuinely care about the people she talks with and doesn't act as though she is above anyone. As one reviewer noted,"Ellen's genuine warmth makes this talk show really stand out.". Airing in syndication, The Ellen DeGeneres Show has attracted a strong following and the approval of all our reviewers.

 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...

 The Ellen Degeneres Show is great from start to finish. It is hard to put your finger on why so many relate to Ellen. Her offbeat demeanor and dancing feet attract many, but perhaps it is the sometimes downright silly humor and skits that make the show so fun to watch. She also comes across as a real person. Ellen's humor is often self- effacing, which makes her seem more like one of us. Ellen is an absolute pleasure to watch. She is always in a good mood and ready to make people laugh. She also has great celebrity come over to the show and a performence at the end of the show. This show is...

The Ellen Degeneres show is witty and hilarious. I love that she is not afraid to show herself off, whether her abilities be great.. or non existant. She is by far the best talk show host out there. She doesn't boggle you down with sadness. Ellen's show is the kind you watch for all emotions. Happiness, empathy, and a little madness even! Her charm is contagious and you can tell by the way both the audience and her guests react to her.

I have been watching Ellen for awhile now due to a medical disabilty in which i ended up losing my job. I am very depressed most of the time..until Ellen comes on, as well as the smiles & laughter! I don't know what i would do without her show she makes me forget about all the negativity in my life for that hour i am the happiest. I record all her episodes, and re watch them alot when i get down & out, i find it therapeutic she is so down to earth always in a great & energetic mood what an amazing woman! I have a 4 yr. old grand daughter who also loves to watch her because Mrs. Ellen loves... review »

The Ellen Show.  This show is a good stress reliever, she is super funny.  Must watch.  I can't watch it live, but I DVR it everyday.  She is so down to earth and has such a great relationship with her audience.  I have still yet to make it to a taping, but I will try for the fall.  Her games are super hilarious and cracks me up to see everyone playing them.  For the one hour she is one, you forget about all of your problems or stresses of the day.  I love when she gives away things to deserving people, it's just so joyful.  She has a very sensitive side and it's nice when you see that...

I can not say enough about Ellen and what her show has done for me.  Every morning or sometimes afternoon thanks to my DVR, I watch Ellen.  She has such high spirits no matter what is happening around her.  She is very real and serious when it is appropriate but does not dwell on the serious depressing issues.  My little one dances around with her in the beginning of every show.  She is so interactive with the audiences and the games they play are absolutely hysterical.  No matter my mood that day I can't help but laugh when watching the show.  The guests are candid with her and show a different... review »

The Ellen Degeneres  Show is my favorite talk show of all time!  She always makes me laugh.  I especially love when she has kids or everyday folks on her show, not just celebrities.  She is very generous with charities.  When she gives a gift to someone it means something, not just for the sake of giving.  She also has some of the best dance moves!  She has a lot of extra segments on her show that really get the audience and people at home involved.  She's also pretty good at getting the celebrities to do goofy stuff on her show.  I am a faithful viewer and will be for a long time.

Ellen is absolutely hilarious.  She keeps me entertained all of the time.  Even though I am at work when she comes on in the morning, I DVR it and watch it later in the evening.  She is just so silly and she does so many good things for people.  She generally cares about others and someone needs to get her a new brussels griffon. I love to watch her dance in the beginning with the audience.  She is also very hilarious with Justin timberlake, especially when she went to his golf tournament and then he suprised her on her show.  It is a wonderful show!

Ellen's Variety Show is great. At first Ophrey caught my attention, but she became too political and the show has turned in a what to do to be good in America. Ellen is light, variety comedy. I love her dance, videos and her interview technique. She is the true host. Her job is to entertain and that's it. Her private life is her own.

     She has a heart of gold and gives to many organizations and people, without fanfare or bragging about it.

The Ellen Degeneres Show

Watching the Ellen Degeneres show is like having a dose of happy every day, especially if you're not in a particularly good mood. She knows how to make people laugh in the silliest of ways, the games the show comes up with for audience members to play are simply , to use one of Ellen's favorite words HILARIOUS.  I've truly had many a belly laugh watching women in sumo wrestler suits run and bounce around the stage as they play, it's priceless !

The guest lineup is usually quite good, up-to-the-minute actors, singers, bands / groups, adorable kids, people with odd or remarkable...

I absolutely love the Ellen Degeneres Show! She keeps me laughing from beginning to end. I love how she starts off the show by dancing with the crowd. It makes me want to get up and dance with her and she always plays the best music! She is very trendy. She brings in very popular, famous people as well as ordinary people that deserve to be recognized. She is great at interviewing them too because she is hilarious and makes her guests do things that are out of the ordinary, so it is a chance to see some of your favorite stars out of their comfort zone. She also has very creative ideas for her shows....

I have to agree with other reviewers of the Ellen Degeneres show. I don't often watch talk shows anymore because the subject matter is depressing (too often) and even a bit boring. With Ellen you never know what you're going to get, but it's always fun, always genuine, and it's such a hoot to listen to her interact with Gladys by phone.

Love the gal, and I'm glad her career made a comeback in such a big way!

I have watched almost every single episode since the beginning. My 2 year old son has known Ellens voice for 2 years now and now that he can dance and talk he takes advantage of it! He just boogies with Ellen and goes crazy when she comes on. A true great spirited, fun, life loving, free woman and I love her! I will watch her everyday shes on until the end. She has fought past all the evil of people talking about her lesbianism and has risen above it and has shown ppl that she is a GREAT GREAT person and helps others. HUGS to Ellen and keep doin it girl!

At the beginning of each episode she comes...

Elllen Degeneres is charming, gracious and is a great host.     Her personality is delightful.   She is fun to watch.    Her show has a good choice of interesting people from all walks of life and informative news from everywhere.      And well worth watching daily.

She has a great sense of humor which shows with her good insight into people.    On her show Ellen often plays games and teases her guests.    Appropriately of couse.

I love to watch Ellen dance.    It shows she has a flair for keeping herself and others phyically active and fit.   I know she exercises...
