Series Details & Credits

ABC | Release Date: March 27, 2005

Summary: Grey's Anatomy is a hospital drama that focuses on Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), one of several third year residents at a Seattle Grace hospital. Along with her colleagues, Meredith struggles to maintain relationships while staying sharp at work.

The professional roles and real lives of a diverse group of surgeons collide unexpectedly inGrey's Anatomy is a hospital drama that focuses on Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), one of several third year residents at a Seattle Grace hospital. Along with her colleagues, Meredith struggles to maintain relationships while staying sharp at work.

The professional roles and real lives of a diverse group of surgeons collide unexpectedly in this Golden Globe-winning ABC television drama. As a third-year resident at Seattle Grace Hospital, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) tries hard to live up to the reputation of her legendary surgeon mother while hiding the fact that her mom now suffers from Alzheimer's disease. As if life weren't complicated enough, Meredith also marries boss, Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey). Meredith's friend and rival Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) finds herself in a romance with 'army man' Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) how came to Seattle Grace from Afghanistan were he worked as a doctor. As for Meredith and Cristina's fellow residents (some not so much)-- Isobel "Izzie" Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) -- they've got problems of their own. Izzie does not want to be judged by her underwear-model past and works hard but when she gets cancer, she gets fired and leaves her husband Alex. Alex is still better at bedding the ladies than bedside manner after his wife leaves and is trying to get over the grief. When Merediths little sister 'little grey' or Lexie Grey (Chyler Leigh) joined the picture in season 4 and is dating 'McSteamy' Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) who was married to Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh [who now stars in the show Private Practice]). Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) turns out to be gay and now Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) is now her partner. All eight residents still answer to the roar of senior resident Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), affectionately known as "the Nazi." But even Dr. Bailey jumps to it when Chief of Surgery Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr.) is on the scene. But there is one thing you must remember "Medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey."… Expand

David Hinckley

Season 5 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The script by Shonda Rhimes, nimbly directed by Peter Horton (once an actor on "thirtysomething"), is nothing but a casserole made of equal parts ham and corn. Read full review

I am completely in love with all the characters and I just can't get enough of the show. I can't believe I missed it all these years but I am making up for lost time now. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it. It is by far my favorite TV show ever and I wish it would never end.… Expand

I absolutely love this series! I’m hooked!!!! This is the second time watching it all the way through. The ONLY thing I do not like about it is Owen Hunt. The part itself is fine but Owen Hunt is not a good actor. He goes overboard and it’s annoying. I’ve tried to put that aside thinking II absolutely love this series! I’m hooked!!!!

He goes overboard and it’s annoying. I’ve tried to put that aside thinking I was just being weird, but even the second time watching it, I just can’t stand him. April had to grow on me but I ended up liking her. She was just way too high strung. Owen for some reason cannot grow on me. He does not fit the part and it should be better with someone else.… Expand

Una de mis series preferidas.
Pero la directora de la serie tiene mucha manía con algunos personajes y los elimina por placer.

This show is insanely hard to rate, because the quality changes from season to season. While the first 6 seasons are closer to a 10, the next few until season 10 are closer to a 5.

While the first 6 seasons are closer to a 10, the next few until season 10 are closer to a 5. The newest seasons try a lot of new things and introduced some fun new characters, so I'd rate them around a 7.5 - 8. Overall the show is more of a guilty pleasure that is kept alive by its nostalgia-fueled fanbase rather than through its storytelling qualities. The shift from medicial drama to soap opera didn't really hurt the show, it works, but it isn't nearly as refined as it used to be. Meredith Grey remains one of the best TV characters ever created though and Ellen Pompeo deserves every bit of her success for what she has helped create. The acting is also solid from most of the cast and you've seen the acting from the bad actors for so many episodes you're used to it.… Expand

I will continue to watch, but if this show is cancelled maybe they should think beforeI just binged watched the entire 15 seasons. The early seasons were great, I just wanted to keep watching.
