The problem with the end of Ellen was that it was too exclusively gay (see more (https://jacksonupperco.com/2023/05/16/the-ten-best-ellen-episodes-of-season-five/)). Well, The Ellen Show (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125154/http://www.jumptheshark.com/e/ellenshow.htm) takes things to the opposite extreme — never using its lead’s orientation for story and giving it only a quick mention every other week.
