Please Save Grey's. What is going on with this show this season?

Are you really going to have Meredith again try to work on her issues and when she comes out of her stupor for McDreamy he is with someone else, so you play that out for awhile and then bring them together. I just don't understand why it is the same formula over and over. it is a boring story. Why not pretend that people in the USA are actually IN relationships: instead of doing the "will he call me" should they or should'nt they be together dance - which is old, why not show people in a relationship and what that takes, and the nuances of that. Why are we just catering to 20 somethings? I am surprised that the relationship you choose to show is Izzy's. Why would she say to Yang that what she did was same. It was not the same- or even close. She slept with a married man. Yang did not. Izzy says that if she had been asked by the heart doctor whether Yang slept her way to the top she would have said no. Yang should have responded, why do you need to wait to be asked, why didn't you say it anyway, why is it only what is good for you without a care about anyone else? Everything she does. She chose George despite the fact that his father died and he needed a friend- because it was good for Izzy. Why did Izzy do what she did to Denny- Because it was good for Izzy- oh and why did she drag all of the interns in to that debacle- because it was good for Izzy. There is no concern for anyone but herself, so her pitty party and Callie telling everyone is foolish- Why didn't yang say any of that. Instead she just stares at her.

Let's move this story forward. Let's have some people in real relationships, write something new. People are getting tired of the same thing.

Patrick Dempsey said in an interview that he thinks that McDreamy and Meredith should get together and that relationship should be explored. Maybe we should listen to him. Give people somehting to talk about- because Izzy and George is boring, stupid, and she garners no one's sympathy. I just wait until her scenes are over.

House- Please Get Rid of the Mean Blonde

The Blonde girl is annoying and her story foolish. The stuff she pulled was so obvious. Forget that she isn't nice and trying to play the "mean women" character. She would bring more liability to the hospital than House, and quite frankly- where as House does want to save lives- she just wants to win the challenge. She doesn't seem to have a caring bone in her body, so she is not someone you want to watch. After a while it is like "just shut up" who cares- you are not nice- you don't deserve the job and no one will want to work with you or watch you on TV- (go back to muting her parts).

Get rid of Tracvs- he is a waste and just in the backgound. I don't think that actor has said anything so he is gone!

I really liked the old guy, he was much more interesting. He alomst took House to task on certain things that Wilson couldn't. Chris and the other guy- (the one that dug up the corpse)- they both provide comic relief and sound intelligent when they speak. They are fun to watch. I like how they play off of each other. The prettier girl- eh- she is like Cameron but less knowledgable. But I guess you need a pretty face on the team.

Just please get that blond girl off. Please don't ruin one of the best shows on TV so you can just have a mean women character. That would suck. Then there is nothing left to watch. Oh, yeah boring reality shows. When is Survivor 90 going to be on- Enough!

Private Practice- This Show Needs Help

Here you have Kate Walsh who can play vixen (grey's), and softy and confident, etc... and all you give her are scenes of dreaming about TIm and falling out of bed? Really? Amy Brenneman who can do anything- ois acting like an idot about a guy- I mean beyond! Audra is broing. She is a fierce woman- I know she is in pain about the divorce, but she slumps around the show. Give her a patient, give her some more confidence or have her show her pain and move on- but don't make her out to be a wimp. Taye Diggs- he started off great- and now - a little boring. I love Tim so I am never one to say anything negative about him. I liked his scene. But why not dwell into what he does- we ony got a glimpse when Addison went in on the episodes last year. What does he do? Why does he do this type of Medicine. Can we have one of these people at least start a relationship? Why is everyshow on TV like Moonlighting- Where the conventional wisdom is that the show is over when the star kisses someone. Can't we grow up a bit and put these peopple in relationships and show how they evolve and change and the good and the bad. That is interesting, expecially since the 18 year olds are n't watching this show. mostly married and older singles. So give people an opportunity to see themselvs in these characters. Everyone is not single and stupid when it comes to relationship.s What if this were the first show that showed what a good relationship is- and how it changes. Give people something to talk about. Why is "you Don't Love Me" the HBO show popular- aside from the over dooing it on the sex thing (unecessary), because people see themselves in these relationships. If you are married and above the age of 24, there is nothing to watch that talks about your life. Family sitcoms don't cut it. That is just for laughs. - How about for real life? Can anyone write about reality?

You have amazing talented actors and actresses- use them to tell a real story!

2007- We're Back - Off to a Better Start Than Expected

Okay! Deer on trucks, crazy haircuts, no Burke, and Gizzy- the first episode was not my favorite. I thought half of it was hokey and the other half an interesting light into what this season is about- changes. Now our interns are residents and they still have problems. Izzy is still annoying but true to her character, doesn't care about messing up a marriage, dealing with the loneliness of losing Denny and almost ruining her career.

I do find it interesting that this week George tells her that he married Callie because she was there for him when his father died and he was swpt up in the whole thing. Will Izzy come to that conclusion that she was swept up in George when her love and career died in the same day? She needed something to do, a new challenge- "Hello Geoge"! I do not like Izzy and George and never will. hopefully this year wil focus on the characters I love like Meredith, McDreamy, Mcsteamy and Christina.

I love where Mcdreamy and Meredith are going. Finally, Meredith admits to herself while she is talking to her sister) that she knows McDreamy is the one for her, but she is incapable of dealing with that. This "hands off" relationship will be great for her because she won't have to think about the work of a relationship, just enjopy its fruits. I think the only way for her to get into a relationship is to back into this. Of course, Mdreamy now realizes he wants the real thing, because he only knows how to do full court press. So, now she is an addiction for him, a weakness. Will both learn to come together before one gets fed-up with too little and the other fails to realize that more is better?

Christina is off to a good start. Back to herself but defintely changed. I personally did not like the stupid line she said to the patient in the OR in the first episode where she told him he couldn't leave hsi family- that whole scene with him and his family was stupid as was her line. It is not her. Yes, I understand she is changed now and is more in touch with her emotions, but that was poor writing.

I hope Torres gets better at her job and she tells George to leave before he tells her. I LOVED her facial expression in the OR to Izzy- when first she looks at her trying to understand why Izzy is being nice, and then she looks at her- now she understands. Great acting. If she gives George the boot,l and hooks with McSteamy of someone really suited for her. George is not. I think he is too weak for her. He is not a good support. She needs a stronger person.

As far as Burke being kicked off the show- it was the stupidest thing ever. He was a grounding force on that show. Now, McDreamy, McSteamy and the Chief are lefy, and none of them are as grounded as he is. They must bring in a new strong character.

I think overall, as long as we see no more sickly dear, or stu[id emotional outbursts from Christina, Meredith is true to herself, and Derrick gets to say more "male" things, we are doing great for this season.; I am also happy that McDreamy and McSteamy are back. I am dying for a male relationship to become front and center instead of all of the female- centered plots. Until next week.

I LOVE CHRISTINA. I HATE IZZIE (One is getting a life- One Needs a Life)

Why doesn't Meredith speak? I don't understand why she never says anything. Is it realistic for a man to pour his heart out to her and she says nothing? It isn't. I understand that Meredith is dark and twisty and never had a great relationship, but couldn't she have said "I ddon't know," or even start to ssay something but have her fail. Her non-answers are strange.

I am starting not to care about her and McDreamy. I care about them separately, but not together. She doesn't deserve him. Their story line is a do-si-do. She tries to drown herself, she comes back somewhat rejuvinated, he questions whether he can "breathe for her", she reverts back to her friends because she doesn't know how to speal or get in his face or say anything, then he comes and tells her she is the love of his life (where did that come from), and she says nothing. Weird.

Next season, why don't we have these two people rebuild themselves? Make them worthy of each other. Now they are not. But playing games with new love interests will only serve well if they learn something. But please don't play the "Moonlighting Game" where you parade these folks around. You can take the step and have them have a relationship. I would much rather see them in a relationship and struggling or learning about each other than the break-up/get to gether dance. Be innovative.

Callie and George and Izzie. I dislike Izzie, aways have-always will. When she speaks and tries to be earnest I am turned off. I don't care what she thinks or feels. She is self-rigtheous and has never learned a lesson in her life. Turn her around.

Callie needs to realize what is going on with George and moreover, that even if she wins the battle with Izzie, does she really want what's in front of her.

Christina, Christina. Sandra is the best actress. This is why she gets paid the big bucks. She puts everyone to shame.

Her scenes were phenominal. I am sad that she is not with Burke but I had wanted him to realize for so long what sacrifices she was making.

I disagree with Shonda that Christina's journey was to try and have it all. She did not want it all. Hardly. She wanted to make Burke happy. She already had it all with surgery. For her, that is eeverything. I can't wait to see what happens with her next season.

Love the New Show- Real to the Core

loved the new show and the cast of characters. The writing is more realistic- all flawed characters, but really flawed and realistic. It made the Grey's folks look like their issues are intellectual at best (except for meredith and her dad- I will get to that in a second).

I thought the juxtaposition of the two shows was not done well. I would have put Grey's first and then the new show. I didn't like the back and forth because I felt that the tone of the two shows was different and actually the lighting of the shows was different with the Grey' set in grayish darker color and the LA one in a much brighter set. So the back and forth was weird. You couldn't follow the story enough.

The new show:

I loved the characters. I love Tim Daly. I love the black dude and I love Cooper. The shrink - she was okay but a bit annoying. Addision defintely brought a little more glamour to the place. I like the issues. A husband admitting that he just woke up one day and said no more- for no reason, a wife who wanted to let loose instead of play by the books, a gyno who admitted his fear of rejection and is just trying to figure out what to do and a therapist that has more hang-up than her patients. How she can easily diagnose Tim and then not see her own problems- that is cool. That is why I like the characters. I think it will be interesting to see where the show goes. I like that the characters are intertwined by their work place but each has their own struggle. I also loved FINALLY, some frakin male characters that speak like men and don't just prance around like pretty faces. I loved that. I just wanted to see them, hear them, listen to what they had to say. You never see that on Grey's enough. How long have I been saying can we see Derrick interact with men for more than 10 seconds. So, I am looking forward to that instead of female drama all the time.

The show will have to find its balance but it is cool.

Greys:

I lOVED Meredith's dad just hitting her. His response to the news of his wife's death was the best response I have ever seen on TV. That guy deserves a reward. He did put his trust in Meredith who kept saying it was nothing. It was great.

Deriick? I don't know what they are doing. The writing there is bad - bad. Pick a direction people and go with it. He says nothing to 'confession' about her change. For someone who is so allegedly upset by her checking out, he says nothing in response, but goes over to her house. Then scenes from next week - he hits on someone new? Please!

Izzy and George- you know I don't care about her - so I don't care what she is doing. I do wonder if these scenes were shot after she mouthed off to the press about her salary because she hasn't done anything in the episode except prance around the hospital and talk to George in the elevator. I still don't see how friends turned into lovers. I would like to see that more. One drunken night doesn't cut it.

Callie: I understand she may not find out for a while about George. But I would have liked to have seen George actually speak to Burke or anyone about his thoughts on marriage. Really, he loves two people. I see his love for Izzy but not Callie- I haven't seen that for episodes. All we know is he married her on a whim to get over his dad. There is nothing to suggest that he still loves his wife, nothing. He did say he does not believe in divorce- which would explain his problem except he said he loved Callie- I don't buy it. I also don't buy why he loves Izzy. He was friends with her and was attracted to the "supermodel", but again don't get the love part.

Burke and Christina: I love Burke but where is his compromise for Christina? Why are they just painting her as the non-traditionalist and the "bad" one. She has remained true to herself. Did you really believe it when Burke said "he thought she was joking about now white dress." That was inconsistent with what he does know about her. Bad writing. He could have said that he wanted it. But I would like to see him either compromise or get a talking to by Christina who has tried to make him happy and has found her own happiness with him.

I don't know what Miranda is doing lately but adding comedy to the scenes. Need more from her soon.

I just think the writers have gotten off their game and could say so mucb more and they don't.

Thoughts?

What is with Izzie's WT Hair

Let me ask? What is up with these Izzy centered story lines. If they are going to do one then be consistent. Where is her daughter? What happened there? In and out in one episode. That is stupid.

Plus, what was with her hair yesterday and pink lipstick! She looked trailer trash. Plus, a little overkill on having every patient who encounters George or Izzie mentioning something about staying together, or "the wife always knows". I think one of the junior writers put that in. Definitely too much. But what did they do with George and Izzie? George is transferring? Why? Because he wants to be with Izzie,or because he wants to be with Callie? Not clear. Plus, where is George's interaction with Callie?

The Meredith/Derrick thing is an interesting story, but poorly written. Their conversations were stupid. I am not convinced that he is refocusing on the chief of staff position over Meredith. This story line is not being written well. Derrick is whispering to Meredith that he notices that she didn't swim when she could. He knows she gave up. But he doesn't ask why - he just states that he doesn't know if he wants to breathe for her. I get the theme of this story line: First Derrick meets Meredith at which time he finds her a breath of fresh air and a reason for living. Then they are together and she tries to kill herself, which is essentially telling him that he is not reason enough for her to live. So he is faced with not being good enough for Chief of Surgery and not good enough for the one he loves. I get that. But get in her face Derrick. Ask her. Force her to tell you why.

Derrick had enough confidence to ask Richard why he was not supporting him for Chief,to which Richard superimposes his life's misery on Derrick and tells him he is saving him the Loss of his life, basically. Derrick gets mad at this and basically tells Richard to live up to his word.


The thing is waht we do know from Meredith's trip to the netherworld was that she did want to come back, probably only for Derrick. Thus, this is a conversation that needs to take place between the two of them. I hope they force Meredith to stand up and tell the truth, get the strength to fight for what she wants. But this time, she is going to have to show Derrick that she is fighting for him. That will make him turn around and feel that at least in one area of his lfe- he is worth something to someone, valued. That is a universal theme. It just needs to be brought out more.

Addison: I am happy that Addison is leaving (I love her and can't wait for her show), and by that I mean, I loved her looking at the Hospital as she left, thinking to herself "what do I need with this place anymore, what is here for me?" One look said it all.

Richard: Well, I thought they were going to either have him step up to the plate and do a great surgery and think to himself that he should stay or , in teh alternative, have him do the surgery and still think about what he lost. He did of course warn Miranda about what she was doing, and could lose, but his resolve was not forthcoming last night. He needs something to live for. They should have focused on that more.
