For it's 2nd season according to Entertainment Weekly "Watching Ellie" will drop the clock and will become a traditional 4-camera show with a studio audience.

Here it is

Right now it is pretty much just pictures, if I like the new season I may start to update the site but if I don't like the new season I'll just delete the site.

Hopefully it'll be much better. They need to hire new writers though. Because last season wasn't all that funny.

I love Julia but the real-time aspect of this show didn't work. The reason why it works so well for 24 is because there's 3 storylines.

"Watching Ellie" might have made it in its original format if Julia Louis-Dreyfus and her husband Brad Hall hadn't succumbed to pressure to change it. By adopting a standard format, they abandoned what originally made "Watching Ellie" so unique. What was the point of abanadoning real-time and going for more cameras when the Halls were trying to be different? Too bad.
