Ellen (titled These Friends of Mine for season 1) is an American television sitcom that ran on the ABC network from March 29, 1994 to July 22, 1998, producing 109 episodes.
The theme song, "So Called Friend" is by Scottish band Texas. A running gag was that each episode had a distinct opening credits sequence, resulting from Ellen's ongoing search for the perfect opening credits.
The title role of Ellen Morgan, played by stand-up comedian Ellen DeGeneres, was a neurotic bookstore owner in her thirties. The series centered on Ellen's dealing with her quirky friends, her family and the problems of daily life.
In 1997, Ellen made television history when the title character came out as a lesbian in the famous "Puppy Episode." (DeGeneres herself had come out earlier that year on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in TIME.) To ensure a memorable moment, the coming out scene was made into a gag where, at an airport, Ellen turns and tells Laura Dern "I'm gay!" – only to realize that she had turned right into the intercom microphone, announcing her sexuality to the entire terminal. Ellen DeGeneres's mother Betty can briefly be seen as one of the people in the terminal with a shocked reaction to the announcement.
The fantastic American classic directed live at Sturges Center for the Arts.
Plot
Seduced by the lure of reality TV fame, Angelo becomes entangled between two opposing worlds. This twenty something struggles to maintain his own identity in a celebrity crazed environment that, for the most part, perceives him as The Animal, a character conceived and manipulated by studio heavyweights to line their own pockets . Life at the Zoo House, despite its glamorous trappings and undeniable perks, is inhabited with drama and friends of questionable motives. Can Angelo survive being LOST IN REALITY?
Plot
Two Cool Guys follows the off-beat coming of age story of Allen Parker and John Sharp, two guys who really aren't that cool. While Allen tries fruitlessly to become socially cool, John puts on a calm exterior while feeling internal strife at the problems of a two year relationship with his girlfriend Rachel. Allen is surprised to find that long-time classmate Ellen is not only amused by him, but possibly taken by his strange personality. As Allen hopes to finally be accepted for his quirky self, John seeks emotional freedom from his restrictive relationship; both desiring the 'coolness' they seek.

Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
I saw you by that pool.
I thought you thought I was cool.
I felt a longing in my tool.
So dye your hair
Or change your name
Have your left arm surgically removed
No matter what you do
I'll be in love with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
You like corn, you like twelve,
You keep a pomade on your shelf
You've got a walnut like myself.
You've got grooves
And you've got shoes
And even though you lose your marbles
And you panic in a crisis I'm in love with you.
Pose was once your man but you scared him away.
Now your man is Dan (that's me!)
And I am here to stay.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
If you were blind in one eye, quadriplegic
Or if you lost all your teeth
So that I had to chew your food for you,
No matter what you do,
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
I saw you by that pool.
I thought you thought I was cool.
I felt a longing in my tool.
So dye your hair
Or change your name
Have your left arm surgically removed
No matter what you do
I'll be in love with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
You like corn, you like twelve,
You keep a pomade on your shelf

And you panic in a crisis I'm in love with you.
Pose was once your man but you scared him away.

And I am here to stay.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
Ellen, I fell in big loving with you.
If you were blind in one eye, quadriplegic

You and me, we will be together ‘cuz I'm free
For the first time or the last time,
don't tell me what to do... O Oeio
My love will last forever,

When the time is right
You can hold me tight and you will set me free.
I am here to stay,
Never walk away, ‘cuz you have got to see...
That I'm Free
[Chorus]
In all the good times or the bad times,
I will stand by you... O Oeio
As long as we stay together,
we can pull us trough.
When the time is right
You can hold me tight and you will set me free.
I am here to stay,
Never walk away, ‘cuz you have got to see...
That I'm Free
All I want is too good to be true,
All I want is just me and you,
Life would be so easy,
If you say to me ... That I'm free
Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey
Eager to please was just the way that he was
though his attempts there falling short,
expectation
see he would tell of all his conquests,
was he bragging?
but in the evening all alone
Ellen unplanned delays
saving for someone who really cared about you
invincible they say
married to your name
she was the kind between a child and a lady,
quick was her temper
like a blaze from an ember
no one had measured to her standard,
so in the evening all alone all alone
how do I tell them to open their minds
and to take a chance
maybe on finding life's treasure stubborn they stay set
in their ways really not wanting to be lonely not alone.
