Greys Anatomy stole MY life. I can't help it.

FreshJive · 09-21-2006, 11:13 PM

I personally hate doctor/medical dramas. I'm watching The Wire and Weeds as my regular weekly shows right know.

nashtymavsfan13 · 09-21-2006, 11:56 PM

Haha, you guys need Tivo

jthig32 · 09-22-2006, 08:35 AM

I started watching Greys Anatomoy reluctantly with the wife, but I have to say, it's a great show.

Thursdays for us consists of MNIE, The Office, Greys Anatomy, ER, all delayed of course as we get the kids in bed.

We have 8 televisions (sad, I know), so there's no shortage of options at our house. The one TiVo is nearly full of Golf Lessons with the Pros and various other sports related & foreign policy-type shows, so we need to burn some DVDs to clear space.

I TiVo'd Gray's Anatomy last night (only saw the last episode last season, so I was curious), and ran out of SPACE! At least I was watching it in the other room! I probably won't schedule my life around the show, but I like it better than I thought I would.

irontoad · 09-22-2006, 10:56 AM

I kind of simultaneously love and hate this show at the same time. I'm addicted to it, I think it's great, but typically I loathe hospital shows, and just anything drama on TV in general. So it kind of pisses me off in that way -- I shouldn't like it. Plus Patrick Dempsey is really hot.

MavsX · 09-22-2006, 11:47 AM

my girlfriend is addicted to greys anatomy....damn you ~!

I won't watch Grey's Anatomy. There's a big change underway in primetime - my friend called it the "desperate housewife-itization" of television - and I hate it. I can't watch my (formerly) favorite show, CSI, because of it.

TripleDipping · 09-22-2006, 12:41 PM

Gray or grey??

Big Boy Laroux · 09-22-2006, 02:04 PM

i like grey's anatomy. and i'm a dude. but i hate the main character. her storyline is the worst of the bunch.

the supporting characters and storylines are typically pretty good.

I like the main the character, but I do agree, that storyline beats me to death. I enjoy all the other storylines much more as well.

The thing about this show, they know how to do a cliff hanger. The bomb episode, and last year's cliff hanger, were just riveting television, in two completely different ways.

Flacolaco · 09-22-2006, 02:16 PM

Im sorry....I dont want to watch grey anatomy. Shes tried to make me,....ive watched it..... I just cant

it's a chick flick. It's all about relationships.

I like my relationships with a big helping of comedy....see scrubs or The Office. Or with a big helping of terrorists and guns. See "24".....

jthig32 · 09-22-2006, 02:25 PM

Eh. Call me sensitive then, I guess. I'm not past enjoying a quality chick flick with the wife either, and not just because I am garnering points.

I like very little interest in action shows on television. I have no use for 24 or Prison Break.

Flacolaco · 09-22-2006, 02:27 PM

No use for 24!!!!!?????

im just going to try and remember that we're all friends here.....

LOL.

Just remember our Potter bond. And we're both programmers. Gotta be worth something.

But yeah, 24, not interested.

see, i agree with the bomb episode. but as for last year's season-ending cliffhanger... i couldn't give a rat's ass who meredith chooses. so not a cliffhanger for me.

Now LOST, that show can do cliffhangers.

lol agreed.

Anybody watch The Office last night?

Big Boy Laroux · 09-22-2006, 02:52 PM

best comedy on tv right now. well, until scrubs comes back. then it'll be tied for best.

what an amazing show.

MavsX · 09-22-2006, 02:55 PM

office rocks, "i will gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today"

Flacolaco · 09-22-2006, 02:58 PM

/agree

What an awkward as hell scene in the conference room last night. lol Steve Carell does it again.

and the jello made a cameo....

jthig32 · 09-22-2006, 03:06 PM

Yes, Office is greatness. Love the expression on Jim's face when the dude kicked the trash can.

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified; I don't really care about the that aspect either. Last year's "cliffhanger" wasn't that great, but the final episode, itself, was great, IMO. Very emotionally charged and a lot of things happening.

But yes, I agree, I certainly was not waiting around all summer wondering who Meredith would pick.

Now, spending all summer wondering whether we'd ever see Michael again, and what was going to happen to Jack, Kate and Sawyer, now THAT'S a far different story!

ocelot_ark · 09-22-2006, 06:58 PM

The finale last year really got to me. I related to that Denny dude big time. The show won't be the same without him.

Wow, 8 TV's and only one Tivo?

I have one TV, and 4 Tivos.

bobatundi · 09-23-2006, 11:18 PM

I watched one episode of Grey's Anatomy and found it to be one of the most boring shows I've ever seen. My wife hated it even more than I did, so it's not just a chick thing that I'm not getting.

alby · 09-24-2006, 12:06 AM

grey's anatomy is a great show.

Ninkobei · 09-24-2006, 01:50 AM

grey's anatomy is an 'ok' doctor show. if you want a real show, however, I suggest House. Oh god, such absolute greatness.

mqywaaah · 09-24-2006, 10:10 AM

My name is Earl is my fave! Theyre airing season 2 in the US, right?

Shows that has, so far, stolen my wife:
Desperate Housewives
House M.D.
Grey's Anatomy
The Sopranos
Law and Order
The OC
OTH

Will I ever have the time to watch Earl is his zaney escapades? Ow... poor me and everybody like me.

Hell yeah! I tend to agree with that!

fluid.forty.one · 09-24-2006, 01:32 PM

Yeah house rocks, but the main girl from grey's anatomy is sooo hot.

Big Boy Laroux · 09-24-2006, 09:46 PM

yeah, if you like having sex with a bag of coat hangers.

anyone know how old that bag of coat hangers is anyways?

On the subject of tv, did anyone like that Studio 60 show on NBC last week?

fluid.forty.one · 09-25-2006, 04:33 PM

I'm not familiar with the phrase "bag of coat hangers"

I loved it. I am locked in for now.

I'm also going to give Heroes a chance, coming on before it. I was going to ignore it, but Ed Bark is highly recommending it, so I'm gonna give it a chance.
