This is some bullshit, general hospital is all drama in a medicine setting, how is it NOT the longest running medical drama of all time???

I mean I think GH is still up and running, right? That thing must have more episodes than Dr who at this point. Plus it's got to be more dramatic, isn't it one of those shows where someone busts into the room declaring they're the pregnant long lost twin to the main character or something?

Neither Hollywood nor you can trick me into believing there's a difference between a medical drama and a dramatic medical "soap opera" show.

ER was good, then they killed off Dr. Greene and it got increasingly zany plots.

Grey's Anatomy learned sagely from ER and just did crazy poo poo right out of the gate so you would know it was bad.

the first 5 or so seasons of Grey's Anatomy were good. The show is unwatchable now. But my wife loves it, so I have no choice. Season 16 premieres next month. Kill me now

I feel your pain, though I don't think the first few seasons were very good either.

Just keep rooting for meredith Grey to either die or to finally show us her Anatomy until your SO doesn't let you watch the show together anymore. That is my sage advice

I remember not watching grey's anatomy (I still don't, but I remember not, too) and then joel mchale showed the icicle scene on an episode of the soup and I didn't believe it was real
how the hell did this show last longer than the soup I thought it ended like 9 years ago

this to me is like finding out desperate housewives is still on the air, or the o.c.

Was Grey's Anatomy the one with the "windy gently caress room"? Every time I'd walk through while my wife was watching one of these shows, a couple would sneak into a room to gently caress and as the action started their hair starts blowing around. Then, they'd go back to doctoring.

In the hospital I work at there's a weird loft area that's supposed to be for maintenance access to some equipment. The maintenance folks put a dirty old mattress in there for fuckin.

Only new things on network tv get cancelled, old things go on until it’s target audience is dead or else it might kill them out of shock.

Scrubs is funny here and there and has its moments, but the only great medical drama out there is House. It's one of the best comedies of the early to mid 2000s too.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

I too am surprised Grey's Anatomy is still going. I remember when it first started and having to watch it here and there because the significant other of the time was into it. The only things I remember:

- They used exterior shots of Seattle's ABC affiliate's building for the hospital.
- It somehow destroyed Katherine Heigl's career? Maybe? Or was that something else?
- That one black doctor spectacularly self immolated his acting career when he poo poo on a homosexual cast mate in an interview or something.
- It gave us Sandra Oh which really was a net gain for everyone.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.
