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? 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!!!!

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.
