What's so great about Grey's Anatomy?

I've raised 5 kids. One of the boys is named 'Grey'.
I can't get past the title of the show...never watched it.

 

You ask "What's good about GA?"

It's NOT Survivor, American Idol, or reality TV.

 

I'm sick of hearing about "Arrested Development" too.

 

It's a horrible show that panders to women.

 

I dont get the GA thing either... chick Im dating thinks its the best show ever so I gave it a shot. Seems like every other 'chick' show on TV.

I made her watch Season 3 of Miami Vice to show her a real TV show !

 

Yup...

In fact, I'm having a hard time finding anything on TV anymore. I've been watching Psych, though. Anybody watch that one? Still quite dumb, but at least I laugh in amusement instead of amazement.

 

'Lucille Ball'--Now there's some real tv!

 

The season opener for The Office was classic!

 

I love The Office. I dont really understand the hype about Grey's Anatomy. All the show's I hate have been cancelled: Friends, Fraiser, Will and Grace...Grey's Anatomy has to be next then.

 

Meh! I wouldn't mind playing doctor with Sandra Oh.

I think it's a pretty good show. The wife is a freak about it. She's buying all the DVD's.

 

I don't watch the show so I didn't know the guy, but here he is in the Koni Challenge series. I didn't know til I got home that he was an actor.

Sandra Oh may have the ugliest face on television.

She obviously spends time at the gym, but it's time to call the plastic surgeon. I remember her when she was on HBO's Arliss and could never understand how she got the role.

 

I can't stand this show. I was recently in the hospital and you don't realize how Hollywood that show is until you experience the real deal. The cast is a bunch of misfits and, more importantly, not a single hot chick! The wife loves it though.

 

I really don't get it either. I tried to watch it last season, but I just can't get into it. Most of my friends are totally obsessed with it. They all ask if I watch it like it's the apocalypse. I will agree with whomever stated that it's better than watching reality TV. I used to love The Real World, but now I can't even watch that anymore because it's just like everything else on TV. So many shows have similar themes, too. There's Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, The Singing Bee, American Idol, America's Got Talent...etc. Basically, if you've seen one, you've seen 'em all!

I, personally, LOVE Nip/Tuck and miss shows like Seinfeld and Sex and the City, hell, I still watch all the re-runs. I really like Jeopardy, too and watch that every night, but that's because I'm a geek.

 

That was a killer show. Sure miss it

 

Season 5 premieres Tuesday, October 30th at 10pm.

 

I think I must be the only girl that watches that show because none of my girlfriends have even heard of it.

I've watched The Office a few times and I actually find the dry humor pretty funny.

It seems like all of The Real World episodes are a bit scripted. The casts are obviously picked because they find the people that are the MOST different and stick them in a house with a hot tub.. which always turns into some sort of orgy. There's always a gay person and a black person for controversy, a bi-sexual girl, the hunky jock type of guy, the overly emotional/dramatic girl, etc.

 

The Real-World 'idea' has been played out to death. Every stereotype-conflict has been hashed and re-hashed over and over, there's really no new material to cover there.

GA is all about 'emotions' - you either relate, or you don't. If you don't, well.....GA never billed itself as 'mindless entertainment'. Its about character development, and since most of the cast is under 35, well, there's some emotional-maturity, coming-of-age, relationship stuff for young adults to sink their teeth into. Not much else on TV that is addressing those topics in a serious way. Think: 'ER' meets 'Friends' with a hip emo soundtrack. The biggest no-brainer Hit Show in the history of earth.

 

Bernardo's only interest is the feet--to heck with the rest!

 

I have watched the show since it first premiered. I know the characters and all the little side plots so it makes sense to me and I enjoy it. It would be a hard show to just jump into. You need to watch the first few seasons.

 

Thanks! I didn't know. Can't wait.
