Grey's Anatomy Options

Hi all.

I just wanted to comment on the tv show "Grey's Anatomy". This is an AWESOME show! For the past 2 weeks and some, Peter and I have been 'catching up'.

We had never watched the show until now, but after my friends at work urged me on saying how much we'd like it, Peter went out and bought the season 1 dvd. Well, let me just say, from a medical perspective, this show ROCKS! The surgeries they perform are fresh, look convicingly real and are always creative.

What makes this show so good though IMHO, is the writing. We are now watching episode 18 of season 2 and the drama cannot be beat. Every show ends with a cry (yes, folks I do) because the situations seem so relatable - so real. One of the refreshing aspects I admire most in the writing of this show is the reality that things don't always end up the way we hope they will, people die, get hurt, relationships grow, and so too does my admiration for the show.

I feel like I am a part of the surgical unit at 'Seattle Grace Hospital' right there in the viewing room watching interns Meredith, Izzie, Cristina, Alex and George mature. The actors on this show, each and every one of them, so commendably play their parts as people like you and I, coping with life and riding the emotional roller coaster in every scene. This is what makes me such a fan, and I hope you will become one too.

Hey there, Lori,

I have to agree with you in all respects. This show has become my favorite and I was lucky enough to start viewing it from the beginning. I was hooked after the first episode aired.

One of the things I found most fascinating is that all the medical situations are based on actual people and proceedures that were performed. Some of them seem so bizzare you think they had to be made up. The writers must have had to do a lot of research to make them so believable despite the strangeness of some situations.

I do like that the show has a good balance of humor with that tear jerking drama. I was never much into medical shows after 'Dr. Kildare' left the screen but this one has me throwing an emotional tantrum everytime I miss an episode. Well... maybe not a tantrum but I sure hated missing them.

I didn't realize the first season was out on DVD. I'll have to put that on my wish list for whenever I can scrape up enough spare change.
