Wow, Ellen Morgan came out of the closet 16 years ago tonight. While it was definitely a landmark moment in television history, I have to admit that I liked the show a lot better before she came clean. There was nothing more hilarious that the unbelievably awkward sight of Ellen DeGeneres with a man -- any man. Fortunately, we will always have the first few seasons of "Ellen" (and "These Friends of Mine") -- plus her feature film lead debut (the horribly underrated "Mr. Wrong"), where the (unintentional) device was never more on display!
