Watching Ellie

Watching Ellie is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from February 14, 2002 to May 16, 2003. The series had a total of 36 episodes.

Plot
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. 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. Each 22-minute episode was meant to portray a 22-minute slice of Ellie's life, in real time.
