Gaga for Grey’s
06/06
I’ve never been a big television fan. Sure, I’ll watch a
little VH1 while doing my cardio at the gym, or check to see who’s
taking the lead on American Idol, but for the most part, I’ve always
felt there are better ways to spend my time than to stare at a box. I’m
not one of those people who flips on the tube as soon as I walk in the
door or who needs it droning in the background to get to sleep. In the
past few months, however, I have fallen in love with a show that has changed
my take-it-or-leave-it attitude toward TV: Grey’s Anatomy.
I love this sexy hospital drama! I didn’t start watching it until
this past January, right in the middle of its second season. After one
episode, I was absolutely hooked. Like many other popular shows, the cast
is beautiful and the conflicts abound. However, the quality which sets
it apart in my opinion is that the people are realistic. With most shows,
you know exactly who to love and hate, and your feelings remain pretty
static. This is not the case with GA. The characters are dynamic and complicated,
just like us.
I love the feeling of anticipation I get at the start of each episode.
Will I root for McDreamy to leave Addison so Meredith can have him at
last, or should he remain faithful to his wife? At some point, I have
been annoyed or intrigued with every character on the show. Just when
I think I am fed up with Alex, the arrogant intern, he does something
noble to change my mind. In addition, the dialogue is witty, the background
music is great, and the pace is quick. If you haven’t checked out
this show, season one recently came out on DVD and in one rainy weekend,
you too can experience television nirvana. I can’t wait for the
season three premiere so my love affair can continue!
