- TriviaWhile Portia de Rossi DeGeneres was a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show (1986) in 2010, Oprah told Portia that when Oprah played the therapist on Seaon 4 Episode 22, "The Puppy Episode" (the "coming out" episode), Oprah got more hate mail about that minor appearance than she had gotten during her entire previous career as a talk-show host and an actress.
- GoofsAs of Season 3, Ellen's apartment is no longer upstairs: the characters go into the first floor apartment opposite Mrs. Koeger's. An establishing shot regularly shows that Ellen's apartment building is not exactly at ground level, since there are stairs leading to its entrance, from the sidewalk. However, its first floor isn't high up enough to be at the same level with the top floor of the opposite building which is seen on level from Ellen's balcony. Also, a couple of bushes clearly obstruct the view from the downstairs apartment's windows but Ellen has unobstructed view ahead, proving once and for all that Ellen's apartment is clearly the one upstairs--even throughout season 3. Furthermore, the top floor window is lit at night in the establishing shots, proving that it is Ellen's. Finally, the "balcony" seen in said frames appears to not be a balcony at all once seen from the outside view: there isn't nearly enough floor space. The balustrade appears to be smack against the window, with only a slim space to host potted plants, but evidently not large enough to accommodate Ellen's patio furniture.

Featured review
I like it more and more
In my opinion, the show was a bit boring at the beginning. Just another comedy that tries to be funny. (this time with a book shop as setting)But after Ellen´s outing quite much has changed, the stories have become really intresting, and in general the show has turned to something special and unique now. The difficult (???) topic has been presented in a very sensitive way and besides the´ve tried to fight against all the silly prejudices which are in the heads of too many people.Furthermore I like that we can laugh with Ellen, not about her. (that´s quite unusual for gay characters on TV). I´m impressed of her honesty and strength to share a part of her private life with the public. ELLEN- YOU`RE GREAT!!! Of course,I love the rest of the cast as well (JOELY,CLEA,JEREMY,DAVID)They´re like everyone´s friends. They get on your nerves, tease you, know everything better - but nevertheless you can´t live without them. In the meantime, I must confess that I hardly can´t live without Ellen and fortunately, it´s back on German TV!
