The Grey agenda
SOAPY! Grey's Anatomy, Living, 10.00pm Labels: Grey's Anatomy, Living, TV
This is, unfortunately, one of those few occasions where we've decided to preview a show that we don't watch on any kind of regular basis. We dip in from time to time, usually when we catch the run on Five, but we are not up-to-speed on the events of season three of Grey's Anatomy as much as we should be. We did, however, think it was worthy of a mention today, so please forgive us any factual faux pas.
So! It's the end of season three, which means it's time for soapy drama to the maximum. There are a great many issues waiting to be sorted, such as: what will happen at Cristina and Burke's wedding? Who will be Chief of Surgery? Who will be Chief Resident? Will all the interns pass their exams? How will they explain Addison's absence so she can off and do her spinoff with Taye Diggs? Will Shonda Rimes realise that George/Izzie probably wasn't a great idea? And so on.
It would perhaps be fair to describe the responses to this when it aired in the States as "mixed", with some messageboards that we read featuring quite a lot of posts from people who swore they were "done with this show for good". Not that we're trying to unduly influence your opinion or anything, because the ratings for season four aren't exactly giving the suits at ABC any sleepless nights. Still, this is your last chance to get a fix of neurotic medical interns for a while, so enjoy yourselves...

Grey matters
MEDICS! Grey's Anatomy, Living, 10.00pm Labels: Grey's Anatomy, Living, TV
We've never really been that into this show; somehow it's a bit too soapy and navel-gazing for our personal taste (despite being the sort who watch a lot of soaps and gaze at our navels quite often). Having said that, we have some friends who never miss an episode, and since there seems to be bog-all else on tonight we thought we'd have a look at what's going on at Seattle Grace.
Prior to now our only real interest in this show was the fact that creator Shonda Rhimes wrote the fabulously awful Britney Spears vehicle Crossroads, and we still cling to that as an example of how things used to be as we hope that Britney will some day find her way back to the path of righteousness, in much the same way that we clutch our copy of Mean Girls while hoping the same for Lindsay Lohan. We could probably get a lot more done if we didn't waste quite so much time praying for the safe rehabilitation of wayward former child stars, but there you go.
So, this week: Izzie's memorial clinic for Denny opens, but isn't exactly a raging success. There are marital questions to be answered for George and Calley as well as Cristina (who is awesome, and frankly if we had our way the show would be called Yang's Anatomy, although that would rather spoil the pun), and Meredith's mother has a rare moment of lucidity - just enough to tell her daughter what a huge disappointment she is. We bet Meredith's ever so chuffed.
