Grey's Anatomy
As part of my adventures with Netflix, I started watching Grey's Anatomy a few weeks ago. I finally decided there would be no more Dr. Meredith Grey in my life yesterday, after not quite getting through the second DVD of the second season.
The show is like a soap opera, focusing mainly on the relationships among the staff at Seattle Grace Hospital, while all but ignoring the medicine they practice in the background. Drs. Burke and Yang are entwined in an affair they want to keep secret; Drs. Grey, Shepherd, and Shepherd are an annoying love triangle; the chief of surgery doesn't like spending time with his wife; Dr. Bailey is pregnant and vocal about it; and Dr. Karev has a thing for Dr. Stevens but only in a fair-weather sort of way.
The only character not involved in a relationship at this point is George O'Malley, and he's the only one I enjoy watching.
So, goodbye, Grey's Anatomy. I hope other people like you more than I do.

Yeah...I never got into Grey's Anatomy, or Desperate Housewives, or any of the other soap-opera type shows that are meant to draw you in like the Siren's song and keep you coming back week after week. Oh by the way, what's going on with the "banana" thing? I understand why you have the increased security, but how did you choose the term "banana" to be your password?

I love Grey's Anatomy. It's my favorite show. I've watched it from the very beginning and own the first two seasons on DVD. I am a girl though. We tend to like the love story stuff.

This is one of 2 shows I watch every week. (Lost is the other.)
I'd just like to say... well DUH! Of course the medicine isn't the main focus of the show. This is a drama not an educational show on heart surgery (with nano-bots!)
But... maybe I should mention that I like trashy tv series. Woo Footballers Wives!
If you want to watch the best show that used to be on TV put Six Feet Under on your Netflix list.
If I forget my email address or the word banana one more time I'm gonna slay! Wait a min... where is the banana box this time... AHHHHHH!!! SLAY SLAY!!! OH you have to PREVIEW to get the box... I'm making slanty eyes at you! BANANA!!!!!!!
