Because TV stations know that nobody will watch Ellen if the aired the show.

I'd watch. I watched "Ellen" on Lifetime. And it's one of my favorite shows (no. 9 to be exact).

As for the actual question in the thread, I don't know why it's not syndicated. I'd see it fitting nicely at TBS Superstation.

Well Tv stations will need more people than you to watch Ellen. One person won't be enough-LOL

You're right. But I'm sure I'm not the only one that would watch it.

Let me guess, you love being stupid? :confused: Ellen has fans, that's why the show lasted more than a year. I love Ellen, it should be shown on local stations or cable stations because Ellen rocks!!!! :guitar:

Ellen will never be picked up by no TV network. The End.

Not "The End". I figure if WGN can show reruns of "Suddenly Susan", than I see no reason why (although I'm sure you'll tell me), Ellen can't be in reruns as well.

What do you have against the show anyways?

I think it is entertaining. And since when was being entertaining the criteria for a show to be on in reruns. There are lots of shows in syndication that are so freakin' boring.

I understand you don't like the show, and I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm just defending one of my favorite shows.

I'd watch it for free. In fact, I just recently bought some tapes off of Ebay. So I'm paying someone else to watch "Ellen". If you don't like it, oh well.

You know you got a great question there. I don't know why either. It did well in the ratings on ABC except for the last season. And it even placed 5th in overall ratings during its second season.

I have no idea why some station, Oxygen maybe, is'nt airing this show. IT's hilarious.

I'm acquiring the entire series slowly (watching a tape of it right now!) but surely and I'm enjoying every single moment of it. I'm laughing like not many other shows make me laugh. I LOVE Ellen, her physical comedy is top notch, her rambling is hilarious.

Discriminate all you want.

This show rocks. :rock:

I agree, Ellen rocks. Both the show and the actress were absolutely hilarious. The supporting cast was also fabulous, and the physical comedy was superb. I watched it on ABC and Lifetime, and I'd happily watch it on whatever network started showing it.

Ellen has almost always been on one network or the other in UK syndication. For a long time it was on a terrestial tv network during it's run, and some more channels after. Now it is on digital television channel Paramount- and does quite well in ratings, that's why they've kept it for so long- and shown all ellen's standup and 'The Ellen Show'. Ellen's hilarious- she was voted funniest person in 1982 as well, lots of other things (like being the only female comedian Johnny Carson invited to talk to him after her standup) and her first book is hilarious. I don't know how anyone doesn't find her show funny.
