The Ellen Show

I love Ellen!

Her various segments are so much better and funnier than most anything on any of the late night shows. She seems to be enjoying herself so much too, so maybe that's infectious - not to mention her obvious decency...

the woman is a national treasure!

I admit, I was disappointed to see this year that she's begun doing in show commercials (maybe she has in tha past, but I missed it if so). Still, I agree with the love.

As a soap fan, I enjoyed her soap opera bit (and forgot about it). The other day she did a whack a mole thing for some guacomole brand... I guess it's not the end of the world--but I wouldn't expect that the show is in dire times the way I am ok with soaps doing horrific product placement.

(And the one for that guy's autoshop was great--I certainly approve of stuff like that, but it's not the same thing really, I doubt he paid for it).

The mechanic shop commercial was for good reason, a kid that was gay had his car vandalized and the guy completely redid it for free, so they did a "commercial" to promote his place.

Usually the in show commercials are hilarious so it's no biggie as long as she continues to have Andy in his shorty shorts.

I watch her every morning at 5am with coffee/bfast. I can ff through some of the stuff I dont care about much (her dance at the beginning of the show, bad joke mondays, etc.) I do love her opening monologues, though.

I'll even ff through guests that are boring (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) or a musical guest I'm not that fond of...I can get be in the shower by 6am.

I really watch it for her, and am often caught tearing at some of her giving segments.
