...course, DeGeneres and the other writers have wanted to explore the implications of Ellen's discovery about herself, which should provide plenty of opportunities for satire and romantic comedy. But instead of being integrated into the show, Ellen's homosexuality has become the show. Situation comedies have situations--a bigot lives with his left-wing son-in-law; coed buddies get by in the big city--but the premise should allow for a range of humor.
