ABC Renews "Grey's Antaomy"

by Lesley Goldberg , Lacey Rose


It ranks as television's No. 1 scripted drama series with the all-important 18-49 demo (averaging a 4.1 rating) and will return for a ninth season.

The Thursday night medical drama, which hails from uber-producer Shonda Rhimes, stars Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh, all of whom are expected to return next season.



More recently, "Grey's" has been used as a launching pad for the prolific showrunner's D.C.-set political-fixer drama, "Scandal", bumping "Grey's" spinoff "Private Practice" to Tuesdays.

The future of "Scandal" and "Practice" has not been determined.
