The Ellen Show was a show that I started watching from the first day it aired. Her show always made me feel good and cheered me up and brought optimism to my day when I was at my lowest. For that I will forever be grateful. I have always supported Ellen even in her dark days and her show helped me in my dark days. I related to her and her joy and supportive attitude helped me pick myself up. I was also glad to see her get a second chance and it provided hope to me. Over the last year, I still continue to watch the show but not with the same enthusiasm. Perhaps, Ellen is getting tired of the routine but it shows and I find the format less spontaneous, joyful; and more importantly, less kind. Some comments and jokes are mean. Twitch walks a fine line and Andy is the butt of many mean comments and skits. I will forever enjoy my time with Ellen. Miss the softer more sincere side. Thank you.
