Ellen- Season One does not have as many episodes as the other seasons so I went through them pretty fast. I like this season, but I missed the character, Spencer, who does not come in until the 3rd season. Of course, every episode is funny. Ellen is soooo witty and down-to-earth, you can't help but identify with her issues. I had a ton of laughs and am now watching the next season of the show. Ellen is one of the funniest people I've ever watched!!!

Ellen: The Complete Season One might as well be considered completely seperate from the rest of the series. When the first season originally aired, it was titled 'These Friends of Mine' and was much more Seinfeldish than it grew to be by the second, and especially third seasons. In the first season, Ellen has not come out of the closet yet (that is still 3 seasons away). It is kind of weird seeing her dating men, as you can totally see there is no chemistry there at all. Also, later series regulars Joely Fisher and Jeremy Piven have not yet joined the cast. There are two other female friends featured here that are inexplicably gone by the end of these 13 episodes and never return. Joely Fisher is then first introduced in the first episode of Season 2 with no explanation as well.
With that being said, even though there are major differences between this first season and the rest of the series, it is still a great, funny show. Ellen truly is a comedic genius and she works well with this first season cast (though I must say she has much better chemistry with the later casts). Amazon Marketplace has this set for sale pretty cheap; it's definitely worth a look, whether you are a current Ellen fan, or new to the series. The DVDs do not have many special features; there is a commentary or two (with Ellen herself conspicuously absent) and some biographies and that's about it. But you do get 13 pretty darn funny episodes! Highly recommended!

I was very disappointed in this DVD. I love Ellen and her sense of humor, but was not able to enjoy it since I am Deaf and this DVD has NO CAPTIONS or Sub-Titles. A waste of my money!
