Ellen is an American television sitcom that aired on the ABC network from March 29, 1994 to July 22, 1998, consisting of 109 episodes. The title role of Ellen Morgan, played by stand-up comedian Ellen DeGeneres, was a neurotic bookstore owner in her thirties.

The series centered on Ellen's dealing with her quirky friends, her family and the problems of daily life. The series is notable for being the first one in which the main character came out as gay, which DeGeneres' character did in the 1997 episode "Puppy Episode". This event received a great deal of media exposure, ignited controversy, and prompted ABC to place a parental advisory at the beginning of each episode.

The series' theme song, "So Called Friend" is by Scottish band Texas. A running gag was that each episode had a distinct opening credits sequence, resulting from Ellen's ongoing search for the perfect opening credits.

Ellen Morgan (Ellen DeGeneres) erlebt in den 5 Staffeln der gleichnamigen Serie allerhand Kuriouses, Witziges, manchmal auch Tragischkomisches. Zusammen mit ihren Freunden Page, Audrey, Spence, Joe und Peter werden Höhen und Tiefen des Lebens gemeistert – mit dem richtigen Mix aus Humor und Ernsthaftigkeit.

Der besonder Clou an dieser Serie ist das Outing von Ellen am Ende der 4. Staffel. Ellen hat sich somit in der Serie auch gleich offiziell geoutet. Die 5. Staffel ist gespickt mit den Erlebnissen, die ein Outing nach sich zieht , so z.B. dem Kennenlernen einer Freundin. Ellens Humor ist einzigartig. „Ellen“ ist für die ganze Familie und unbedingt sehenswert!

La serie ruota attorno al personaggio sui generis di Ellen Morgan, e sui suoi rapporti con amici e amiche, con la famiglia e con i problemi quotidiani che una giovane donna indipendente incontra nel contesto cittadino di Los Angeles.
