More Grey’s Anatomy…
I’m still thinking about last night’s finale so I decided to put together a list of little things I like about the show.
*It has a cast deep with diversity. 3 of the 5 attending physicians are black including the chief of surgery. I haven’t seen that on a workplace drama that doesn’t involve law enforcement.
*Veterans act alongside rookies. Isiah Washington, Patrick Demsey and Sandra Oh get plenty of film work. James Pickens Jr. has been doing TV for nearly 2 decades. When a new show can get folks at this stage of their career to sign on, its a good sign (see West Wing, Homicide, Law & Order).
*Truly an ensemble show, no one character on Grey’s hogs all the screen time. Which means you don’t get sick of it as quickly.
*I don’t care one wit about medicine and care deeply about the medical predicaments of the characters on this show.
*Even though the show’s probably got a female audience in mind, I’ve never felt alienated as a man watching it.
*Its writers have a blog.
*Shonda Rhimes, the show’s creator, is smart as all hell. Listen for yourself.
*Shonda Rhimes went to Dartmouth which is why there are a zillion jokes about Dartmouth on the show. I think that’s adorable.
