The term 'self-named sitcom' refers to three popular television shows: Reba, Ellen, and Seinfeld. Reba is a sitcom starring Reba McEntire that aired from 2001 to 2007. Ellen is a sitcom starring Ellen DeGeneres that aired from 1994 to 1998. Seinfeld is a sitcom starring Jerry Seinfeld that aired from 1989 to 1998. All three of these sitcoms were self-named, meaning that the title of the show was the same as the name of the main character.
