message: This paragraph keeps getting deleted:
The program is the continuation of two popular daytime television talk shows: The Rosie O'Donnell Show and The Caroline Rhea Show. The program is distributed by Warner Brothers, the distributors of the above two shows, and although the producers and cast are different, the basic premise of the show is the same. The program mixes in comedy, celebrity guests, and human interest stories, taking components from late night television and traditional daytime talk shows. 
The source was the September 17, 2003 Hartford Courant article, which someone is objecting to because they can't find a link. It is not my responsibility to provide Lexis-Nexis access for everyone to check cites. The pull quote that proves this point follows:
Like new neighbors ready to spend an hour each day chatting over coffee, a new crop of daytime hosts is, as a whole, an improvement over the gossipy, mudslinging old ones.
The tide is turning slowly against the confrontational trash and more toward the brighter, lighter shows, with an emphasis on entertainment figures.
``The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which started last week (on WVIT, Channel 30, at 4 p.m.) fills a slot originated by Rosie O'Donnell and occupied last season by Caroline Rhea. DeGeneres continues their traditions with a kinder approach to stars, close rapport with her audience and a penchant for toys.
She also has two great things going for her -- a ready, dry wit and a wealth of Hollywood friends. Her first guest last week would have been a coup for any talk show day or night -- Jennifer Aniston, the ``Friends star. The entire second show was devoted to Justin Timberlake, who says he was charmed by DeGeneres' videotape inviting him on.
As natural and nice as she is, there are areas she doesn't touch, possibly because she's still smarting from the overkill that greeted her public coming-out on her sitcom. Unlike most talk-show hosts, she is loath to talk about herself or her personal life. She has no stories about raising kids.''
Please discuss this, in the talk page, before reverting any further. Thank you.

replies: text: Ellen, Rosie, and Caroline are syndicated. The passage you stated (for WVIT) does not imply a succession, it only happens that WVIT has found the same network and time slot for the 3 shows. In New York, for example, Rosie O'Donnell and Caroline Rhea (which have direct succession: Rosie chose Caroline to be her successor) were both on WABC-TV. Rosie was on at 10:00 am, and I think Rhea's show was pushed back to the early morning to make way for The Wayne Brady Show at the 10:00 am slot. Ellen aired on WNBC at 10:00 am until this season, where it moved to 4:00 pm. Caroline and Rosie did not choose Ellen to be their successor. All you can say about Ellen and the two other shows are that they are similar. Tinlinkin 20:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I really like Ellen DeGeneres—even way back from her stand-up days—but the quotes section doesn't fit in Wikipedia.  They read like a GeoCities fansite. —SpyMagician 05:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I reverted without posting here; just saw that you did that. They are part of the running of the show, part of the comedy. Maybe it could be expanded into a paragraph and just mention a few quotes. Otherwise, you are correct. bmitchelf•T•F 05:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just reverted your revert.  They really need to be placed in some context.  Especially since these 'quotes' are simply one-word sound effects. —SpyMagician 05:04, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
