Episode #, Title, Production #, Air Date(s) and Summary
Episodes are listed in order of first (original) airing. Subsequent repeat dates are listed after the original air date. I am including airdates for ABC in the USA and CTV, which airs 'Ellen' in Canada.The asterisk (*) indicates episodes that I have in my collection.
The original title for Ellen was These Friends of Mine. The show made it's complete first season run under that title. When the show proved to be a hit, the title was changed to Ellen and subsequent reruns of the first season episodes bore that title. In this season, Ellen's friends were Adam, Holly and Anita.
