Ellen works in a Los Angeles bookstore called Buy the Book and hangs around with her friends discussing lovers, work and family. The show came under controversy during the fourth season when the title character came out as a lesbian, shortly after Ellen DeGeneres did the same in real life.

Ellen and her friends aren't exactly yuppies, aren't exactly thirtysomethings and apparently are too old for Generation X. They're not Generation X. They're Generation Zero. They're Generation Dumb.

Variety
Frenetic, whoopingly funny at times, just plain crass at others, pilot for "These Friends of Mine" tries for yuks from purposeless characters.

Part of the problem here is that the people who made These Friends, including creator-writers Carol Black and Neal Marlens, want you not merely to laugh at but to identify - nay, mind-meld - with these characters.
Rated: C

Carol Black and Neal Marlens left this new series almost immediately after creating it. This time, though, they didn't leave anything memorable behind.

These Friends of Mine could easily become friends of yours. All you have to do is forgive the new ABC sitcom for being a dead-on knockoff of Seinfeld.

There is really nothing to dislike about these friends. But there is nothing to rave about, either. The best I can say about this show is I suspect many people won't mind visiting them a second time.
Rated: 3/5
