Bedside manners
NURSE! Grey's Anatomy, Living TV, 10.00pm
We gave this show rather short shrift the first time we watched it. We kept watching from the beginning largely because we saw that it was created by Shonda Rimes (writer of the work of cinematic excellence that is Crossroads, starring Britney Spears), but we never really managed to get engaged in the soapy melodrama of the hospital interns' love lives, despite the presence of Patrick Dempsey, smouldering away as so-called "Dr McDreamy".
More fool us, because the show became a huge hit both in America and over here, with the third season premiere in America recently eclipsing the almighty CSI in the ratings, which just goes to show that we here at LOWCULTURE seldom if ever know what we're talking about, unless it involves Shannen Doherty, Jensen Ackles, Tanya Turner or Veronica Mars, when of course we are a font of all knowledge.
For those of you who outsmarted us and have been in on this one from the get-go, you'll be pleased to see that season two starts on Living TV tonight. Boring Meredith is put out by the arrival of Dr McDreamy's wife (yep, that would be a snag in the relationship), while Cristina is having issues with her pregnancy. We might start watching and seeing if this all makes any more sense to us that way. Bonus points if Cristina's baby dilemma is solved by her falling down the stairs while interspersed with shots of her oh-so-meaningful globe keyring falling to the floor.
(And speaking of Veronica Mars, as we were just now, don't forgot to watch it on Living TV at 8pm. Click here for an update on what happened last week.)
