Ellen Degeneres Show going HD on September 8th

High fives all around, The Ellen Degeneres Show is finally making the leap to high-definition. We've been wondering when this mega-hit would ditch its SD ways and start showing up during our morning yoga classes in high-def, and it appears that Monday, September 8th is the day to circle in your date planner. The show will be moving to a new state-of-the-art production facility on the Warner Bros. Studios lot, where it will be produced and broadcast in glorious HD. The sixth season of the show (which has been renewed through 2010 - 2011) will be shot from the completely tapeless Stage 1 complex, and considering the 50-percent increase in seating capacity, quite a few more guests will be able to squeeze in and check things out live. But who needs that when you've got Ellen in high-def?

You might be missing my point. I'm in no way commenting on the quality of the show. We'll leave it at that.

What if Ellens guest for the day is Jessica Alba?

Damn. You've got me there. Selective SD maybe? Now there's a niche in the market for someone. Maybe we could get a cut...?

It's taped in Burbank right now, which NBC is closing. I wonder how many other shows will be HD in their new homes.
