Does anyone know the date the Ellen’s Coming Out episode aired in Oz?
I actually came out to my parents right after watching it on Ch7.
Sadly, not a barrel of laughs, but I’m forever grateful for Ellen, as millions are. I can’t thing of any other TV sitcom episode that has had such a profound social impact.
It aired on Seven, not ten or nine, quite some time after news broke of this episode, could even have been the next year. It’s a shame that it’s so hard to source Australian air dates for things.
Just love Ellen, whenever I’m feeling down , 5 minutes of her show is enough to cheer me up ❤️❤️
timmydownawell, it aired on Ten – early Sunday nights IIRC.
Was it Ten? I have to admit in the 90s I might have inhaled.
could be wrong, thought it was on Ch7 (at least the early seasons).
My memory was Seven too.
Did Nine ever end up airing that episode? They dropped the show like a hot potato the moment she came out, as I recall, claiming it wasn’t anything to do with that, it just wasn’t rating well enough to air any more. Yeah, right.
Seriously?….where has the time gone…seems like I just blinked…
maybe a network should re-show the sitcom Ellen to commemorate this moment. No-one ever mentions the show any more, it’s almost like it never existed.
I loved the sitcom!! My housemates at uni and I watched it together, and still have a few quotes that we go to: “Audrey, I like you. I like being with you. We’re friends. But there’s a wall. We’re Friends, but there’s a wall!!”
Audrey was a bit of a polarising character, to be fair.
