Editorial Review:
Celebrated as one of America's funniest and most popular entertainers, Ellen DeGeneres stars in the fifth and final season of her Emmy Award®-winning ABC sitcom ELLEN, the history-making show that put her at the center of the comedy map. Universally acclaimed and now officially out of the closet, ELLEN: SEASON 5, finds the beloved 30-something bookstore owner, along with her cadre of loyal friends, goofing it up more than ever. Effortlessly balancing life's obstacles with trademark-inspired buffoonery, each episode boasts a surefire mix of quirky warmth and unbounded hilarity. Aided and abetted as always by Adam (Arye Gross), Spence (Jeremy Piven), Paige (Joely Fisher), Joe (David Anthony Higgins), and Audrey (Clea Lewis), Ellen Morgan (DeGeneres) continues to manage life as Ellen, extricating herself from one absurd situation after the next. Featuring all 22 episodes from its critically acclaimed fifth season, ELLEN: THE COMPLETE SEASON FIVE DVD SET is stuffed with memorable cameos by Sean Penn, Jennifer Aniston, Woody Harrelson, Phil Donahue, Emma Thompson, Anne Heche, Cindy Crawford, Sara McLachlan, Kevin McDonald, David Anthony Higgins, Angie Dickinson, Louis Gossett, Jr., as well as two special tribute episodes and more!
Ellen - The Complete Season Five Reviews:
Ellen at it's best 
2009-09-21 - I have the seasons one through four as well and all I can say is that Ellen is as good as always. I simply love her way of overdoing things and her humour beats me. Well worth the purchase!
The best season
2009-09-16 - I love this final season of Ellen. She has come out, and is now trying out relationships. Same dysfunctional Ellen, but with wonderful lesbian jokes! One of my favourite purchases!
What an end... 
2009-03-10 - I have the whole show now, and re-watched it all recently after buying. It was sad to see the show end, and I also watched it from a different prospective than I did last time. I'm older and wiser now, and watched it from the "what reason did they cancel the show" perspective. Wow. I could probably go on and on but I'll just keep it short with: Network television blows my mind at how conservative and closed-minded they can be. With re-watching it...a lot of her jokes she made on the show make sense to me now, unlike then. I will have to say about the end of the show...I was like, "Really? THAT'S the end?!" But hey, its a little piece of history I'm glad to own.
Socially Oriented 
2009-01-19 - Too much emphasis on Lesbianism. The sexual choice of Ellen overtakes what was a great series. Her personal life is exposed to too much attention and makes a real issue on what people consider private and in bad taste leading to the cancellation of the final season.
I'M A FAN!!
2008-07-04 - If you like watching Ellen, you will enjoy relaxing and watching these shows in the evening. My 15 year old wanted this for her birthday and she likes watching it.
