Before you say anything - I know this aired in the US almost 2 years ago, but believe it or not, it had it's first airing in the UK this week - on C4 at 2.30am. :(
Anyhow, I was totally surprised to see JA - I guess there's something to be said for not seeing spoilers!
So was I - she was excellent in an otherwise not very good quintet of episodes (Channel 4 finished off the final season with three episodes in the middle of the night, followed by another pair the next night).
What did you think of the tribute, Paul? There was a lot of silly stuff from decades long ago, but nothing from the early years of the real show, perhaps not too surprising given the way they kicked out the original supporting cast. At least C4 showed the episodes in the correct order, which did not happen in the USA (according to epguides.com).

I know agree that Ellen got cancelled because of poor episode quality, rather than her being a lesbian. There were only about 3 or 4 good ones in the final season.
Not much.
S1 is the only season I don't have on tape - hopefully the PCC will rerun it again though.
I noticed that too. We also got Buffy S3 in the right order, though the reasons for the US's out-of-sequence screening were understandable!
Hellooooo!!! After getting drunk in Vegas, Paul Hyett doodled cat whiskers on his/her face and miaowed this little lot at a statue...
They did completely remove some scenes from S3 Buffy over here, though, for what reason is unknown as the scenes in question sound perfectly innocent (you'd have to go over to one of the Buffy NG's to see which ones, though, as I can't remember them all right now).
Me too - I haven't seen Maggie Wheeler speak in her normal voice since seeing her on Friends. Please post if you hear she's on. She is why I've seen so many Seinfelds, but I missed her.
Anyway, I thought that Lisa Darr, who played Ellen's partner Laurie, was very good, as indeed she was in Sabrina the Teenage Witch - it would be nice to see her on Friends.

Oh yes, I remember that now.
I glanced at the Sabrina TTW cartoon last Saturday, and NO WAY is she a teenager in it, she only looks 10 or 11, even her aunts only look in their 20's.
Sorry, no. She looked quite lovely, and she was much more animated in her expression than Rachel is. Although billed just as "Herself", I suspect that she was playing a character called "Jennifer Aniston".
Indubitably something to do with Aunts Hilda & Zelda being voiced by Melissa Joan Hart (who also produces) while her younger sister Emily voices Sabrina herself. Meanwhile, the official title for the show is "Sabrina the Animated Series" so there is no claim of teenagery.
Presley. Used to be on at about 4am on Channel Four. It was a quiz between two teams of uni studants and after each round elvis would take off an item of clothing, and at the end was naked. Nothing special since he was about 50.
Not a very good Elvis lookalike either, what with being black.
Did you ever wonder what's up with Ellen. She looks like a guy, right? But she likes chicks. So she must have to look for women who like other women, who look like men. So she needs a woman who likes men without dicks. That's fuct up.

Wow, Ireland is actually ahead of the UK with Ellen to :) I seen that episode at about 2.30am about 4 months ago Was surprizing alright I couldn't believe it when I saw it
I really wish RT� would sort out a few things, there showing some of the best shows after midnight and then they kill them off after a season becauise of lack of ratings, it makes no sense..
