Summary
The premiere in this comedy series about the quirky misadventures of a flippant Los Angeles bookstore manager named Ellen Morgan. In this episode, Ellen needs to get a new driver's license but can't seem to take a decent looking picture, no matter how many times she attempts to smile. Meanwhile, Holly has started a relationship with a man named Roger, who appears to be perfect on the outside. However, Anita has the inside word about him, and the gang of friends tries to stop Holly from making a huge mistake with Roger. Includes commercials and promos. This program is closed-captioned.
(Series title varies; the series was retitled "Ellen" in August of 1994.)
