Please move Ellen back to 4.Parents pick up the kids from school abt.3 & it’s in the middle of the afternoon when people are still getting things done.I’ve been watching Ellen for years and this was my “wine time”before getting dinner started.I won’t be watching it as often for in is not a convenient time.I think her ratings will go down.
This is an awful move… Now she’s up against Dr. Phil, thinking shes’s going to loose viewers ? And who want’s to watch news for 3 hours straight? It’s all the same stuff all day, I think 1 hour of news is plenty, don’t you ? 4:00 was perfect !! Kid’s had homework done and it was me time, now I have to watch the news? NOO THANKS
Don’t know why you would do this….4 PM is the best time for Ellen….I can’t imagine that I am the only person who feels this way…sorry I won’t be able to watch very often.
I love Ellen, but I really like her at 4:00 EST. I can’t watch her at 3:00 and I won’t record her for later. What was the momentum behind this decision? She fits the perfect storm time for mothers – when they have to entertain the little ones and extend their realm of sanity until dinner and when their Loved One walks through the door to help (hopefully!). Paw Patrol is not going to help out on this one.
I, as well as many people (neighbors, family and friends) hate the time change of the Ellen Show! Loved starting gnour day with Ellen. We are busy I. The early afternoon and miss seeing it. Please move it back!!!!!
I would have to say that I am disappointed that Ellen’s show has been moved to 3pm. I have a job working afternoons and now I dont Have the opportunity to watch Ellen. I feel it was unfair to put ricki lake on at 10am she should have gotten the afternoon slot.
You have to love Ellen(s) :>)
Yay for Detroit viewers. My daughter (who is almost 19) and I both love watching Ellen; her humor and approach cut across generations.
Ellen’s show has been a real bright spot in daytime TV.
