Ellen: Not So Great ExpectationsABC
November 13, 1996
Sitcom
DVD
B-
In Ellen Idelson & Rob Lotterstein's first of two Ellen stories, Ellen's mother joins a video-dating service and meets Vic (the still handsome, then sixty-one-year-old Lyle Waggoner). Ellen, who continues to take her parents' separation very seriously, tries to interfere of course, including at a country bar where Trisha Yearwood is performing.
Debra Mooney, who was Mrs. Wellman on Roseanne in '90, plays Barbara here. Doorman Dan Finnerty would have two other Ellen roles. And, yes, Devo appear as themselves in the title sequence, fourteen years after their Square Pegs episode.
