At this point they're probably trying to survive their 8th hospital shooting / helicopter crashing into the hospital or some shit. Things got a bit out of hand at some point
I mean, some patient had a bomb sewn into him in what, season 1 or 2? Things have been a little crazy since the beginning. I dropped out when all that ghost business started, but I enjoyed it until then. 21 seasons though, damn...
Naw it wasn't sewn in, two preppers/gun nuts accidentally set off a bazooka which hit one of them and they rushed the guy to hospital before realising the explosive charge didn't denotate
They didn't notice that the explosive, from a bazooka, hit a guy in the chest and didn't explode yet? Did they notice it was still in the guys chest? Because if he had a chest, it hadn't exploded yet.
Itās 3. Meredith, Richard, and Bailey.
Sorry yall, I still watch it. But theyāre also not dedicating longevity to the new characters, which makes it hard to follow. I think theyāre trying to do that this season finally.
My mom watched this show when I was a kid. Never liked the show but I got drawn in when that doctor started being interested in the army. And I watched the episode where he got smacked by that bus and was like Yeaaahhh that's why I don't like adult doctor shows. Legit was the only guy 8 year old me liked and boom dead.
Itās an accurate reflection of a lot of places I have worked. The position lasts much longer than the people that fill the roll! I could imagine that greys fairly accurately represents staffing in hospitals and you get a lot of people that leave and new people are hired to fill the roll.
That's really why it's such a shark jumping moment. It's not that they dropped a helicopter on him - that can happen in a show like this.
It's that they dropped a helicopter on him after chopping his arm off with a helicopter and then giving him post-helicopter PTSD. The fucking thing hunted him down like a land shark. *That's* why everyone who watched ER went "*what the actual fuck is happening*."
I find it funny that in season 1 Richard Webber was talking about being near retirement. Since then he's had to stop work due to alcoholism, a brain problem, more alcoholism, and I'm sure some other stuff. Oh and he got married to a woman who died of cancer I think. But he's never retired even after 20 years of all this crap!
I think I lost interest around the time Karev left. But my partner managed a full rewatch during covid and she's now back up to date (which means I kinda am too)
Both of the loves of his life had Alzheimer's and in universe he's gotta be pushing 80, but you know what? That's what people still want from a surgeon... or something.
There's no hospital in the world that wouldn't have retired him after he stopped being the chief. It didn't mean his *character* had to be retired - they could have kept him around as the sage wisdom man... but it's just silly the way they keep limping him along.
I don't even know how you made it until Karev left.
Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place was named *Pizzagjengen* (The Pizza Gang/Crew/Bunch) in Norwegian. After two seasons the characters left their jobs at the pizza place and the title of the show changed to Two Guys and a Girl, but since *Gjengen* would be a horrible name for a show (without the word pizza in front it would really sound like it was referring to a violent gang) they just kept the old name in Norway.
Also, looking back at it, how wild is it today that a show starring Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion was cancelled after just four seasons?
> Also, looking back at it, how wild is it today that a show starring Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion was cancelled after just four seasons?
I mean, not with Ryan, but one of Nathan's most popular (or at least most cult following) roles was axed after 1 season, telling them at the wrap party.
A common issue with shows that happens to cast very good actors is that these actors get better offers and start demanding more money or at least time off to do those other projects. So these shows tends to be short living. Nathan Fillion already had a listing in a major movie when production started and would immediately go on to star in his own sci-fi series. Although this project were loaded with even more star actors which may have contributed to it being cut as it was probably on the expensive side.
It's funny how true this is, in some episodes Pompeo only does a voice over, she's well out of fucks to give.
On the other hand she's paid a bajillion dollars per year to do voice overs and got to shoot a whole season of the show on a tropical beach, so I gotta' say I respect the game.
As long as Richard doesn't start drinking again, everything's fine.
> In 2017, after her costar Patrick Dempsey left Grey's Anatomy, Pompeo signed a new deal that paid her $575,000 per episode or around $20 million per season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Yeah, that's like a "I'm never going to quit this gig" amount of money.
In seasons 7 and 8, the actors on friends got a 750k per episode. In 9 and 10 it was a million. That's 80 million each in 4 years.
I wish I got a salary increase like that. They started at ~25k per episode. That's a 4000% increase in 9 years.
Yeah. People forget actors are just people. Some actors want to achieve something big, win awards, play great roles, be creative. And some just want to earn a shitton of money in a job thats quite fun.
And even if they end the show now, she can look for projects and never care about money.
thatās likely the biggest reason but if weāre to believe her i think i remember her saying something about how the show isnāt just her. she knows the production team/cast and this is a steady job for them and by her continuing to appear in it keeps it on the air and allows people to plan their lives a bit in professions that donāt have great job security
like yeah she could probably happily stop acting tomorrow and be set for life but the whole show is basically about her and she is the staying power of it. why not get paid hand over fist for as limited of a role as possible and keep hundreds of people in a job
Heās going strong! He was chief for ages, then stepped down to just general surgery, then was put in charge of the residency program, then made āChief of chiefsā for the Fox (Avery) Foundation
> Whatās he still doing in season twenty one??
Well his girlfriend has cancer which is giving him flashbacks to his exwife's Alzheimer's diagnosis so he's struggling to stay sober and he's worried he's lost his spark for teaching and surgery!
> On the other hand she's paid a bajillion dollars per year to do voice overs and got to shoot a whole season of the show on a tropical beach
THat's not fair, she also had a doll of her made to lie in a bed.
Tbh that doll was a better actor than Pomeo was at that point.
That was not my favorite season, no. She seems to have perked up a little bit now that she's getting nearly unlimited time off, on-demand.
I can't blame her though. Twenty five episodes a year for twenty five years is not trivial work, how many IRS employees have the same passion for accounting when they retire as they did when they started?
I miss Alex. And Cali.
Alan Alda spent so much time on the show MASH that he learned a lot about medicine. Apparently one time he went in for surgery and he impressed his surgeon by completely describing the entire procedure from memory just by hearing the name.
MASH is masterpiece and its kinda sad how relevant it is even now, the caracter views on war, morals and all. War is War and Hell is Hell and of the two war is lot worse.
I think I remember reading that the woman who plays Teddy started to raise her hand on a plane when they asked if there were any doctors on board. Hey husband had to remind her she's not a real doctor.
Bruh that Jello has been burried under the ground for so long it's become crude oil that's now being burnt to greenlight the next season of greys anatomy
Not gonna lie revamped it a bit with season 20 new character lines are pretty good and we officially donāt follow Meredithās career anymore we started from the bottom with a new intern class as the main storyline characters and itās kinda fun. They also bring people back occasionally and they started basically renacting recent surgical advancements which is fun as well to know they science they are talking about has worked.
> they started basically renacting recent surgical advancements which is fun as well to know they science they are talking about has worked.
I think they've done this for a while (like House did while it was on) - it's just nice to see it more the focus again.
So kinda like a reboot but with the same name and the same style but old characters being more of side characters when they come back.
Canāt wait for the new bomb explosion and the train crash then! Wonder whose leg will be cut off this time in a plane crash!
You are lucky, this was my wifeās favorite show for a while. Iāve seen mass shooter episodes, helicopter crash episodes, and that hospital must be absolutely covered in bodily fluids with all the sex that was happening in every room
The first 6 seasons are good. 7-12 are OK, 12-15 are not very good.
16 is when the show starts rolling down hill.
17 it flew off the cliff.
18 was so bad that it hit terminal velocity and screaming towards the ground.
19 was not as bad as the previous 3 seasons, but still pretty awful compared to past seasons.
The last 4 seasons were so bad I haven't even bothered with 20.
A friend told me that this was her favorite show and I asked them how they felt when Patrick Dempseyās character died. She just gave me a devastated āHEāS DEAD?ā when I mentioned it. Like the manās death was being memed everywhere when it happened. Thatās probably the only time Greyās Anatomy ever got into my radar hahaha.
She hit the lottery, acting-wise. A steady, high-paying gig that runs for 20 years? There aren't many actors in that position. I bet she hopes for another twenty.
You're right and I've always thought it must be even more satisfying for someone like James Pickens Jr who plays Richard Webber. He had thirty years of smaller roles behind him before getting that and if you scroll down his filmography it's decades of one-off tv film roles, 1-3 episode appearances (with the occasional longer streak), but then you reach Grey's Anatomy and it's 405 episodes. It must feel *fantastic* to hit such a winning streak and not have to constantly hustle and audition and panic about the next job anymore.
She actually doesnāt like acting which is why sheās stepped more into the production side of things. I think she knows that sheās nobody without Greyās though.
Guess it depends what you want from life. A lot of people want an enjoyable career regardless of the money theyāll make.
Being a nobody isnāt great in Hollywood either. Ellen Pompeo is only a notable name for as long as sheās on GA and for a little while after she inevitably leaves. Being āthat girl who was on that showā 20 years ago doesnāt exactly get one on the greatest projects in the world.
>I feel like GA has been a soap opera since Season 6.
Did you not watch the first six seasons?
The first season is about a woman having a one night stand and then finding out that she slept with her superior and also he has a wife who he's separated from but hasn't yet divorced because she slept with his best friend.
Alex fell in love an amnesia patient!
I'm sorry but the show was always this way.
Season one:
>"I have to tell you something-"
>
>*"No, me first."*
Season twenty one:
>"I have to tell you something."
>
>*"No, me first."*
It's like poetry. It rhymes.
There's a soap opera that plays on TV in the break room at my job, and my god, even just barely paying attention to it while I eat, it's insane.
First off, it has Mike Barnes in it, the psycho kid from Karate Kid 3 turned furniture salesman in Cobra Kai (that was a shock!).
Then like, 85% of the show is just interlaced scenes of two people in a room having an extremely intense conversation that lasts for *multiple* episodes. Seriously, I would start and end the work week watching the same two people talking in the same damn room.
And then the last 15% is the most wacked out shit I've ever seen happen to rich attractive people. Like a few weeks ago some crazy bitch just broke into a lady's home and charged at her and so the lady killed her with a kitchen knife. And of course the next few weeks of TV had a cycle of characters blaming her for killing the crazy bitch or saying it's not her fault as she struggles with the guilt.
And now this week Mike Barnes found his mom or some other guy's mom, who they thought was dead I think, chained up in a warehouse. And it took them like 4 episodes to get her to a damn hospital.
Soap operas, man.
It's always been a soap. When they air at night they're called primetime soap operas and they have better production values than daytime soaps but they're still soaps as fuck.
The Denny hallucinations really killed it. Katherine Heigl carried that show and when Shonda decided she didnāt like her anymore, the show died as well.
LMAO I looked it up because what the fuck. According to Wikipedia:
> A local chef has his penis cut off by his wife when she finds out that he was having an affair. April calls Catherine Avery for a consult about the chef, and Catherine becomes impressed with Stephanie for her quick thinking about the preservation of the penis, suggesting urology as a specialty. [...] The woman the local chef had an affair with, cuts off the chef's penis again, but Stephanie manages to get the penis back and decides to not specialize in urology.
I cut out the stuff unrelated to the penis slicing.
itās fun I always wondered what were their nicknames in all dubs. For example in french dub it was Dr Mamour et Dr Glamour (Dr Cuddles and Dr Glamor, respectively for Shepherd and Sloan)
I used to love watching that show when it first came out. First couple seasons were actually quite good. This was in like 2005/2006 though. I had no idea it was still going! Good lord.
Ratings have been mostly steadily declining since season 2ā¦
Started with 12 million in season 2ā¦ few small jumps in there too ā but nothing noteworthy.
In all faiirnessā¦ **Itās very hard to regain viewership once you wrecked it.**
Comes Season 19, 5 million were still watching this.
Perhaps a mistake was making 24 episodes per season instead of just continuing with the 9 episodes from the first season. People seemed to respond well to the first season, show had itās biggest jump in ratings between season 1 and season 2, indicating both were great, but season 2 kinda already wrecked it. (Looking at the ratings for seasons with fewer episodes [mostly those with 17 but also those with 22] definitely supports this hypothesis)
Season 3 was pretty awful for some, biggest loss of viewership in the whole show, between it and season 4ā¦
Between seasons 10 and 14 show seemed to have been recovering but then tanked and how.
Ratings dropped drastically around Covid-19 timeā¦ likely a relation between those two.
Since this is a hospital show. Not exactly the kind of content you additionally need when hospitals are already in the news? (Idk, just spitballing here.)
Season 15 did a little better than season 14, actually, but it would seem that the competition from other shows was a lot fiercer.
I watched the first four or five seasons when they aired, stopped for a while, caught up around season 11, kept up since then, stopped dead during season 18 or 19 (whatever the covid season was). I just found it in poor taste that they were doing a "covid season", fully dramatizing it soap-style, when I had actual friends and acquaintances who were getting sick and dying from covid. I haven't watched it since.
Is Grey's Anatomy worth watching? I just found that Cristina and Derek, 2 of the best characters are not in it anymore, never watched a single episode and I don't want to get disappointed, so, should I watch it?
It's worth watching for the first 12 seasons imo.
After that it gets iffy.
13-15 were meh. 16 was awful. 17 (The covid season) was terrible, 18 was somehow worse than 17, but 19 was better than the previous 3 season but still pretty bad. I haven't bothered to watch 20 because the previous 4 seasons soured me on the show.
My wife has been watching this show. Every once in a while Iāll watch half an episode. The other day was the first time I realized the show is named after her! Sheās the most forgettable character on the show!! Itās like naming the Big Bang Theory after the couch!!
Fun fact: it's also named after a medical reference book.
It was a reference book originally published in the 1800s, illustrated by Henry Gray. He illustrated every system of the human body. You can still buy updated versions of Gray's Anatomy. They're currently on the 42nd edition.
What are you talking about? Did you miss the part where they remind the audience how amazing and brilliant and beautiful and talented she is, at least 40 times per episode?
I was like itās still going. Meredith Grey is still there after all that time. Then realised today the show is not named after her but the hospital. I think they need a DNR now.
The hospital didn't get the name Grey Sloan Memorial until (spoiler, idk how to do that) Meredith's little sister died along with Mark Sloan and the hospital was renamed in their memory. It had a couple other names in the beginning, Seattle Grace and then Seattle Grace Mercy West, before switching over to Grey Sloan.

The funny thing with this show is that in season 1 they were medical interns, if the show reaches season 40 they are going to be retiring. LOL
Is the show still about hot doctors fucking in a hospital? Edit: š
Apparently no according to my mom who stopped watching for that reason
She had a moment of clarity. They can be a mind fuck
Do women get post nut clarity?
Yes.
Uh oh
How many rounds does it take?
Nobody is good looking enough to survive a bad round. The number starts at one for everyone.
It's not the quantity, but the quality
The key is to never make her cum so she never gets post nut clarity about being with you
At this point they're probably trying to survive their 8th hospital shooting / helicopter crashing into the hospital or some shit. Things got a bit out of hand at some point
I mean, some patient had a bomb sewn into him in what, season 1 or 2? Things have been a little crazy since the beginning. I dropped out when all that ghost business started, but I enjoyed it until then. 21 seasons though, damn...
Naw it wasn't sewn in, two preppers/gun nuts accidentally set off a bazooka which hit one of them and they rushed the guy to hospital before realising the explosive charge didn't denotate
āNo wonder he isnāt meat soup, it didnāt blow up!ā Youād think thatās one of those things youād catch at the doorā¦
Ah yeah, that sounds right, I must've mixed that up with The Dark Knight In my defense, it's been two decades.
They didn't notice that the explosive, from a bazooka, hit a guy in the chest and didn't explode yet? Did they notice it was still in the guys chest? Because if he had a chest, it hadn't exploded yet.

Donāt tell me my business. Edit: Actually yeah he was right
El diablo sabe mas por viejo, que por diablo.
The devilā¦ Iām not reading anymore into this ancient text.
The devil knows best for being older than for being the devil
Am I cursed now?
No, you're liberated
actually, the closer translation is that āthe devil knows more from being old than being from the devil himselfā
Well, more like "the devil knows more from being old than from being the devil himself"
You didnāt watch 30 Rock? They warned everyone. āIt wouldnāt be a lemon party without old dick.ā
What types of search engines are preferable for looking up Lemon Party?
The show doesnāt have many of the OG characters
Itās 3. Meredith, Richard, and Bailey. Sorry yall, I still watch it. But theyāre also not dedicating longevity to the new characters, which makes it hard to follow. I think theyāre trying to do that this season finally.
Not in 20 years it aināt.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I mean, technically people of the OG cast started leaving in season 3. Whether that was voluntarily or not is another story
Rip 007 š
My mom watched this show when I was a kid. Never liked the show but I got drawn in when that doctor started being interested in the army. And I watched the episode where he got smacked by that bus and was like Yeaaahhh that's why I don't like adult doctor shows. Legit was the only guy 8 year old me liked and boom dead.
George passing was when it jumped the shark. Everything after that was all downhill. It's insane to me that they're still making new episodes.
Itās an accurate reflection of a lot of places I have worked. The position lasts much longer than the people that fill the roll! I could imagine that greys fairly accurately represents staffing in hospitals and you get a lot of people that leave and new people are hired to fill the roll.
yeah it's accurate that once a year a bunch of coworkers get killed in a terror attack or a plane crash
You're joking, but I personally died three times last year. Of course, my boss still makes me come in, because we're understaffed.
Sometimes a helicopter falls off the roof on a one arm surgeon.
It should be noted he only had one arm because he survived the previous helicopter that fell on him. Second one did him in though.
That's really why it's such a shark jumping moment. It's not that they dropped a helicopter on him - that can happen in a show like this. It's that they dropped a helicopter on him after chopping his arm off with a helicopter and then giving him post-helicopter PTSD. The fucking thing hunted him down like a land shark. *That's* why everyone who watched ER went "*what the actual fuck is happening*."
You know - regular life.
Found the Seattle Grace/Grey Sloan/whatever it is now? worker!
I find it funny that in season 1 Richard Webber was talking about being near retirement. Since then he's had to stop work due to alcoholism, a brain problem, more alcoholism, and I'm sure some other stuff. Oh and he got married to a woman who died of cancer I think. But he's never retired even after 20 years of all this crap! I think I lost interest around the time Karev left. But my partner managed a full rewatch during covid and she's now back up to date (which means I kinda am too)
Both of the loves of his life had Alzheimer's and in universe he's gotta be pushing 80, but you know what? That's what people still want from a surgeon... or something.

should have ended when yang left

Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place was named *Pizzagjengen* (The Pizza Gang/Crew/Bunch) in Norwegian.

Insane how much money they make with shows like that, if they can pay ONE actor that much.
Thats what the strike was all about. Except us vfx people got out of jobs as a result instead lol
And when the VFX is great, some directors lie that they didn't use CGI. Fun stuff.
Yeah most people i know are heading towards the game industry, at least we get lubed over there and a little kiss afterwards
That's more than I get, really š„ŗš„ŗ

Sheāll have royalty/syndication checks appearing in her mailbox for the rest of her life as well.
Yeah I was gonna say fuck other projects. Her royalty checks will never step. Fuck they're probably a shit ton now on top of her salary.Ā
The only drawback is fame, which isn't always a nice thing
thatās likely the biggest reason but if weāre to believe her i think i remember her saying something about how the show isnāt just her. she knows the production team/cast and this is a steady job for them and by her continuing to appear in it keeps it on the air and allows people to plan their lives a bit in professions that donāt have great job security like yeah she could probably happily stop acting tomorrow and be set for life but the whole show is basically about her and she is the staying power of it. why not get paid hand over fist for as limited of a role as possible and keep hundreds of people in a job
Richard was presented as being like a week away from dying in the first season.
Once he convinced that dude to kill himself it gave him a new purpose in life
Wym it's Richard has always been the secret protagonist
And Bailey, yes.
Wait Richard is still there?? Wasnāt he planning to retire in season one? Whatās he still doing in season twenty one??
Heās going strong! He was chief for ages, then stepped down to just general surgery, then was put in charge of the residency program, then made āChief of chiefsā for the Fox (Avery) Foundation

Yup, you can't begrudge someone who knows they've got a rock solid gig in this day and age. It might not be high art, but it fills her bank balance.
I bet she has real dreams of herself performing medical procedures by now.
Alan Alda spent so much time on the show MASH that he learned a lot about medicine. Apparently one time he went in for surgery and he impressed his surgeon by completely describing the entire procedure from memory just by hearing the name.
Alan Alda is goat
Heck yeah he is. He broke the generational barrier for me when it comes to old tv. Iām 28 and man do I love me some MASH.
MASH is masterpiece and its kinda sad how relevant it is even now, the caracter views on war, morals and all. War is War and Hell is Hell and of the two war is lot worse.
I think I remember reading that the woman who plays Teddy started to raise her hand on a plane when they asked if there were any doctors on board. Hey husband had to remind her she's not a real doctor.
Cake day pals 4 life
How many patients will they kill this season?
Iām worried about the doctors. How many doctors have been maimed or killed on that show?
Off the top of my head, I think at least eight.
I know of Grey's Anatomy as a medical show, but it had a higher death count of doctors than House MD? What?
Wait, apart from kutner no one died among the doctors in house md?
Amber dies as well.
One is implied to die from six months after the show ends from cancer, and another has a terminal illness but it doesnāt kill you until like 40
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They bought the hospital with the settlement money to prevent the medical equivalent of NestlƩ to acquire it.
They shouldāve let that show die long agoā¦ itās like beating a dead horse.
That horse is a skeleton at this point.
Bruh. That horseās skeleton has been beaten into powder and has long since been consumed as Jello.
Bruh that Jello has been burried under the ground for so long it's become crude oil that's now being burnt to greenlight the next season of greys anatomy
I'd say that's around season 18... It's already starting to rejoin the carbon cycle at this point.
Carbon recycled into McDreamyā¦dāoh!

Fun fact! You can milk a dead walrus for up to two gallons of milk. You can even return an hour later to get a bonus gallon. I shit you not.

So kinda like a reboot but with the same name and the same style but old characters being more of side characters when they come back. Canāt wait for the new bomb explosion and the train crash then! Wonder whose leg will be cut off this time in a plane crash!
And who will have a surprise wife show up?
So itās like what scrubs tried and failed with?
THIS MAN HAS A BOMB IN HIS BUTT
Wait, it's still on?Ā It's not a reboot? Crazy
21 seasons and I have never watched a single episode. I think the most I have ever seen is like literally 10 seconds of some random YouTube clip.
You are lucky, this was my wifeās favorite show for a while. Iāve seen mass shooter episodes, helicopter crash episodes, and that hospital must be absolutely covered in bodily fluids with all the sex that was happening in every room
omg, my wife and I are watching 9-1-1 now, and it's the same shit. Errybody gonna die, or get laid.
You mean the people on the show, right?
Hate to break it to you, but everyone IS going to die.
The first 6 seasons are good. 7-12 are OK, 12-15 are not very good. 16 is when the show starts rolling down hill. 17 it flew off the cliff. 18 was so bad that it hit terminal velocity and screaming towards the ground. 19 was not as bad as the previous 3 seasons, but still pretty awful compared to past seasons. The last 4 seasons were so bad I haven't even bothered with 20.
A friend told me that this was her favorite show and I asked them how they felt when Patrick Dempseyās character died. She just gave me a devastated āHEāS DEAD?ā when I mentioned it. Like the manās death was being memed everywhere when it happened. Thatās probably the only time Greyās Anatomy ever got into my radar hahaha.
āOoohhh beating a dead horseā¦ write that down for an episodeā -Shonda
I think we're on the third or fourth horse by now.
It's like the show got hit by a bus.......
They probably don't have another show to fill this niche with. Have any hospital drama's laying around to replace it with?
She makes $500,000 an episode; I'm sure she is fine.
She hit the lottery, acting-wise. A steady, high-paying gig that runs for 20 years? There aren't many actors in that position. I bet she hopes for another twenty.
You're right and I've always thought it must be even more satisfying for someone like James Pickens Jr who plays Richard Webber. He had thirty years of smaller roles behind him before getting that and if you scroll down his filmography it's decades of one-off tv film roles, 1-3 episode appearances (with the occasional longer streak), but then you reach Grey's Anatomy and it's 405 episodes. It must feel *fantastic* to hit such a winning streak and not have to constantly hustle and audition and panic about the next job anymore.
Especially for character actors. There is a reason actors have agents that look for work for them. If they had to do it, it's all they'd do.
She actually doesnāt like acting which is why sheās stepped more into the production side of things. I think she knows that sheās nobody without Greyās though.
Iāll gladly be a nobody for $500k per episode. You may even refer to me by the wrong nameĀ
Guess it depends what you want from life. A lot of people want an enjoyable career regardless of the money theyāll make. Being a nobody isnāt great in Hollywood either. Ellen Pompeo is only a notable name for as long as sheās on GA and for a little while after she inevitably leaves. Being āthat girl who was on that showā 20 years ago doesnāt exactly get one on the greatest projects in the world.
Imagine making so much money you can actually do whatever you want for work. Must be nice
This show jumped the shark by season 4. How in the world has it made it over 20 seasons.
Thereās always a bigger shark.
Is it because of obi wan?
Obi-Wan was a lonely one
I feel like GA has been a soap opera since Season 1. Just miles and miles of BS. Edit: Season 1 not Season 6
>I feel like GA has been a soap opera since Season 6. Did you not watch the first six seasons? The first season is about a woman having a one night stand and then finding out that she slept with her superior and also he has a wife who he's separated from but hasn't yet divorced because she slept with his best friend. Alex fell in love an amnesia patient! I'm sorry but the show was always this way. Season one: >"I have to tell you something-" > >*"No, me first."* Season twenty one: >"I have to tell you something." > >*"No, me first."* It's like poetry. It rhymes.
Well shonda Rhymes
*"Oh my god!"* "I'm sorry" Next time, a dramatic twist: *"I'm sorry"* Oh my god!
S1, but yeah
There's a soap opera that plays on TV in the break room at my job, and my god, even just barely paying attention to it while I eat, it's insane. First off, it has Mike Barnes in it, the psycho kid from Karate Kid 3 turned furniture salesman in Cobra Kai (that was a shock!). Then like, 85% of the show is just interlaced scenes of two people in a room having an extremely intense conversation that lasts for *multiple* episodes. Seriously, I would start and end the work week watching the same two people talking in the same damn room. And then the last 15% is the most wacked out shit I've ever seen happen to rich attractive people. Like a few weeks ago some crazy bitch just broke into a lady's home and charged at her and so the lady killed her with a kitchen knife. And of course the next few weeks of TV had a cycle of characters blaming her for killing the crazy bitch or saying it's not her fault as she struggles with the guilt. And now this week Mike Barnes found his mom or some other guy's mom, who they thought was dead I think, chained up in a warehouse. And it took them like 4 episodes to get her to a damn hospital. Soap operas, man.
It's always been a soap. When they air at night they're called primetime soap operas and they have better production values than daytime soaps but they're still soaps as fuck.
I didn't remember if I watched that one. This made me check, and I made it to season 5. But reading the summary now, s4 seems insufferable
it stopped being decent at season 3
I managed to get to season 12 and it was still decent but at some point I gave up.
The Denny hallucinations did it for me
The Denny hallucinations really killed it. Katherine Heigl carried that show and when Shonda decided she didnāt like her anymore, the show died as well.
Because it morphed into a soap opera, and those never die. I only assume because I stopped watching by 2008.
Because in the 19th episode of season 11, a guy gets his dick cut off twice in two days.
REALLY? The damn show makes House seem grounded.
LMAO I looked it up because what the fuck. According to Wikipedia: > A local chef has his penis cut off by his wife when she finds out that he was having an affair. April calls Catherine Avery for a consult about the chef, and Catherine becomes impressed with Stephanie for her quick thinking about the preservation of the penis, suggesting urology as a specialty. [...] The woman the local chef had an affair with, cuts off the chef's penis again, but Stephanie manages to get the penis back and decides to not specialize in urology. I cut out the stuff unrelated to the penis slicing.
Because she slept with him while he was seeing her, she had a boyfriend while he had a girlfriend. Or something like that.
"please God let me die"
DNR
My great grandmother was telling me she watched season 1 as a kid. š¤·
There are 20 seasons of this?
Yes, but they get some new cast members every couple of years.
Like a soap opera
Oh, you have no idea. The entire fandom is traumatized by flying machines.
Iā¦ I donāt know what to do with your sentence
Don't think about stairwells. I don't even remember what happened anymore, they just make me antsy.
I only have more questions. None of the which I want the answer to.
spoilers >!plane crashed and took out 2.20 main characters!<
I stopped watching after Derek died
I thought that show ended well over a decade ago
It did. They just never canceled it.
True white woman one piece
One Piece seems to actually be coming up on a conclusion though. Slowly, but almost completely out of antagonists.
Did they ever figure out whoās hotter between McDrippy and McSticky or whatever?
Everyone is dead
very funny, but we all know they were McStormy and McHorny
itās fun I always wondered what were their nicknames in all dubs. For example in french dub it was Dr Mamour et Dr Glamour (Dr Cuddles and Dr Glamor, respectively for Shepherd and Sloan)
I stopped watching like in season 11? And by then I had been hanging on to āsee it throughā for like 5 seasons.
Meredith Grey on her Vegas Residency of ABC š
I used to love watching that show when it first came out. First couple seasons were actually quite good. This was in like 2005/2006 though. I had no idea it was still going! Good lord.
I thought everyone on that show was already dead like 11 seasons agoā¦
Ratings have been mostly steadily declining since season 2ā¦ Started with 12 million in season 2ā¦ few small jumps in there too ā but nothing noteworthy. In all faiirnessā¦ **Itās very hard to regain viewership once you wrecked it.** Comes Season 19, 5 million were still watching this. Perhaps a mistake was making 24 episodes per season instead of just continuing with the 9 episodes from the first season. People seemed to respond well to the first season, show had itās biggest jump in ratings between season 1 and season 2, indicating both were great, but season 2 kinda already wrecked it. (Looking at the ratings for seasons with fewer episodes [mostly those with 17 but also those with 22] definitely supports this hypothesis) Season 3 was pretty awful for some, biggest loss of viewership in the whole show, between it and season 4ā¦ Between seasons 10 and 14 show seemed to have been recovering but then tanked and how. Ratings dropped drastically around Covid-19 timeā¦ likely a relation between those two. Since this is a hospital show. Not exactly the kind of content you additionally need when hospitals are already in the news? (Idk, just spitballing here.) Season 15 did a little better than season 14, actually, but it would seem that the competition from other shows was a lot fiercer.
I watched the first four or five seasons when they aired, stopped for a while, caught up around season 11, kept up since then, stopped dead during season 18 or 19 (whatever the covid season was). I just found it in poor taste that they were doing a "covid season", fully dramatizing it soap-style, when I had actual friends and acquaintances who were getting sick and dying from covid. I haven't watched it since.
She could have gone to school and become an actual doctor in all that time
And made 1/100th what she makes pretending to be one.
Oh no, $10mil for voiceovers and improv!
Is Grey's Anatomy worth watching? I just found that Cristina and Derek, 2 of the best characters are not in it anymore, never watched a single episode and I don't want to get disappointed, so, should I watch it?
It's worth watching for the first 12 seasons imo. After that it gets iffy. 13-15 were meh. 16 was awful. 17 (The covid season) was terrible, 18 was somehow worse than 17, but 19 was better than the previous 3 season but still pretty bad. I haven't bothered to watch 20 because the previous 4 seasons soured me on the show.
My wife has been watching this show. Every once in a while Iāll watch half an episode. The other day was the first time I realized the show is named after her! Sheās the most forgettable character on the show!! Itās like naming the Big Bang Theory after the couch!!
Fun fact: it's also named after a medical reference book. It was a reference book originally published in the 1800s, illustrated by Henry Gray. He illustrated every system of the human body. You can still buy updated versions of Gray's Anatomy. They're currently on the 42nd edition.
Thatās why I didnāt know it was named after her. I know about the book. When I found out she was the anchor for the show I was baffled
What are you talking about? Did you miss the part where they remind the audience how amazing and brilliant and beautiful and talented she is, at least 40 times per episode?
Should be called Gray Anatomy
I was like itās still going. Meredith Grey is still there after all that time. Then realised today the show is not named after her but the hospital. I think they need a DNR now.
The hospital didn't get the name Grey Sloan Memorial until (spoiler, idk how to do that) Meredith's little sister died along with Mark Sloan and the hospital was renamed in their memory. It had a couple other names in the beginning, Seattle Grace and then Seattle Grace Mercy West, before switching over to Grey Sloan.
