'''''Watching Ellie''''' is an American television [[sitcom]] that stars [[Julia Louis-Dreyfus]] and was created by her husband, [[Brad Hall]] and aired on [[NBC]] from February 26, 2002, to May 20, 2003. Sixteen episodes were [[Broadcasting|broadcast]] before it was canceled due to low ratings, the show received mixed reviews.

== Premise and formats ==
There were two incarnations of ''Watching Ellie''. Both focused on the character of cabaret singer Ellie Riggs (Louis-Dreyfus), with markedly different approaches.

The first was directed by [[Ken Kwapis]], known for his innovative work in [[single-camera setup|single-camera]] sitcoms such as ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]'', ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' and ''[[The Bernie Mac Show]]''.  Each 22-minute episode was meant to portray a 22-minute slice of Ellie's life, in real time.  In the earliest episodes, a clock was even shown in the corner of the screen.  Louis-Dreyfus stated in 2003 that the clock was [[Jeff Zucker]]'s idea. Thirteen episodes were filmed, but only ten aired before the series was put on indefinite hiatus (the remaining first-season episodes have never aired).

Nearly a full year later, the show reappeared as a more traditional sitcom, with multiple cameras and a live studio audience plus an added [[laugh track]].  This version fared even worse than its predecessor and was canceled after six episodes.

== Cast ==
* [[Julia Louis-Dreyfus]] – Ellie Riggs
* [[Lauren Bowles]] – Susan
* [[Steve Carell]] – Edgar
* [[Darren Boyd]] – Ben
* [[Peter Stormare]] – Ingvar
* [[Don Lake]] – Dr. Zimmerman

==Production==
Louis-Dreyfus and Hall earned salaries of $350,000 each per episode and their contracts stipulated 15 episodes per season, rather than the usual 22. [[Carsey-Werner-Mandabach Productions]], the original production company, dropped out because of the high costs and was replaced by NBC Studios.<ref>{{cite web|last=Weinraub|first=Bernard|title=You Loved Elaine, Now Meet Ellie; A High-Stakes Gamble Brings Another 'Seinfeld' Star Back to TV|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/14/arts/you-loved-elaine-now-meet-ellie-high-stakes-gamble-brings-another-seinfeld-star.html|work=The New York Times|date=January 14, 2002|access-date=February 17, 2013}}</ref>

The show was pitched to [[ABC (United States)|ABC]], [[CBS]], [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] and [[HBO]], who all turned down the series.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Rice|first=Lynette|url=https://ew.com/article/2002/03/01/testing-one-two-three/|title=Testing: One, Two, Three...|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=May 1, 2002|access-date=March 16, 2021}}</ref>

Louis-Dreyfus and Bowles played sisters and they are also half-sisters in real life.
