Its been years since aired and always remembered this show. The scene that comes to mind most is of Elaine playing piano tunes for the family but ends up with her singing Nevada Harry. Had a great cast (but always loved Ellen and quick witted Elaine), and the sophistication of the comedy writing was quite good. I believe the reason this show lasted one year is that people didn't get it--this family's give and take. Perhaps too sophisticated the humor. Mom show took me 6 episodes to understand the humor behind that family, and cant stop watching it. I wouldn't have stopped watching Ellen's show either.
