A., and her friends - truely a great show which also wrote TV history as Ellen Morgan decided to come out as a lesbian at the end of season 4, back in 1997. Unfortunately, the show was canceled one year later in 1998 after season 5, but it is still shown in many countries of the world, either in re-runs or premiering, f.e. dubbed in other languages.

| The Coming Out in 1997. |
|
And the way she had to deal with being lesbian was one of the greatest moments in the american TV history, it was very credible and moving, not letting out the akward and funny moments that happen when you reveal your emotions to friends or a beloved person. -
One reason for its credibility surely was the fact, that Ellen DeGeneres knew exactly what Ellen Morgan was going through - and the whole TV-Nation knew it, too: There was no talkshow, no TV magazine, she hadn't told about it. And finally, after a lot of nominations, Ellen got the Emmy award - for the best script right for the episode The Puppy Episode. This script is available as a transcript right here at the Ellen-cyclopedia. This big attention Ellen got because of all this had a positive side-effect: In the fifth and last season, Ellen had more famous Hollywood guest stars like Emma Thompson and Sean Penn in the Emma-episode; an episode which was also Emmy-nominated later BTW. Talking about Hollywood: Grosse Point Blank was a movie project of Jeremy Piven (Spence) which showed the potential of this great actor - he had less luck IMO with Kiss the Girls. And Patrick Bristow (Peter) had a nice supporting role in Austin Powers.
