Okay, I love this show.
But there are aspects of it that are exceedingly disappointing this season.
Anything with Izzy is tedious and makes me want to send her back down a catwalk instead of into surgery. I couldn’t stomach the story line last year that her falling in love with a dying patient. I didn’t buy it for a heartbeat.
And now, she’s falling apart while at a disaster site…for the love of God, do your job. She’s starting to resemble the bimbo the writers set out to make her different from. And I can’t take it.
And freaking Meredith. Get out of the water already.
I still love every other person (George is frustrating, though making a speedy exit from pity city, thank the lord) and every story line. and for the most part the show is great. But these massive tragedy episodes are just too much.
Sorry Kathie-
The only show I really watch this year is Ugly Betty. In fact, I want to be an actor in Ugly Betty!! The writers are fantastic– I laugh out loud every Thursday night. My husband even watched it with me last night. It is a provacative show without being vulgar. And witty–wow–the laughs come and then you have to think about what was actually said and what is means. Occasionally, when I can stay up, I’ll watch Men in Trees. My old favs, 24 and Grey’s Anatomy are not up to standard this year (24 does have one fantastic looking terrorist though-Assad). Meredith and Izzy should leave for a season. Meredith needs to gain weight and Izzy needs a good story.
Mimi, I agree with all that you said…except Men in Trees…can’t watch it.
I’ve never watched GA, though many people have told me I should….it sounds like a great show! I actually FIGHT beginning to watch a new show. We only have a couple shows we watch religiously — our Tivo is set for only 3 season passes — and we NEVER have time to watch those. One time, we had an entire season sitting there on Tivo for months before we blitzed through every episode over two nights. I simply CANNOT commit to any other shows, no matter how good they look. Am I missing out? No question. Is this lame and sad? Of course! 😉
I’m back from the dead, thanks for noticing — few things feel as good as being missed! I hope your winter is plodding along pleasantly enough.
