    It returns with an emotional and surprising (hint: you'll never look at icicles the same way) premiere.

    All we need ask of Grey's is that it tell its stories well in its own way, and tonight it does.

    ABC's promise, a bold one, is "A New Beginning." That may be overstating what we see tonight, but at least we do get a brand-new guy for Sandra Oh's Cristina Yang to kiss. That's a good start. But as with any veteran show, some of the old mix-and-match gets redundant.

    Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy was just as good as ever. The beginning of the season sarted off a little slow but as the season progressed I fell in love with some of the episodes. The Izzie-Denny story appeared wierd at first but as soon as I figured out that she was seriously sick my heart broke for Izzie and I completely understood what was going on. Season 5 was packed with MerDer scenes which always manage to put a smile on my face, except when McDreamy decides to be a McAss and call Meredith an unfixable lemon. But he got back on my good side with his adorable elevator proposal which was one of the best moments of the season and in geys history. And then who can forget the post it wedding which was perfect for Meredith and Derek. Alex and Izze had some good moments this season as well and I really do enjoy them togther. The finale of season 5 was a complete shocker to me. When John Doe was tracing 007 in Mer's hand it clicked right away...John Doe is George. And then Izzie started coding and viewers we left wondering who would live? Breathtaking finale and amazing season.… Expand

    As medical dramas go, Greys Anatomy ranks right up there with General Hospital. I would hate to be a patient at Seatle Grace or Port Charles General Hospital. The writing is so silly and melodramatic, you feel sorry for the actors that have to speak the lines.… Expand

    The plot lines are tiring. How many times can a writer use a Lesbian plot line? Too many to care about. The males characters are whiny and the female characters are even whinier. The show will keep going in circles until, mercifully, it dies.… Expand
