I am disappointed in the show. I completely understand that Ellen is a very busy person. BUT when you have a show and it is named after you, one would expect a large presence on the show. I am an EXTREMELY devoted fan of Ellen and I have seen all of her work. This show goes outside of my interest but since it was Ellen I have been watching. If she does not have a larger presence, I will probably stop watching. Design is a passion of hers and she should be present throughout the show so that her appearance does not distract from the show. She is the most talented person in Hollywood but I hope she does not just become a brand without a face to it.
