Grey's Anatomy Thoughts? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 03-28-2005, 12:08 PM

The premiere did excellent in the ratings, delivering a 10.0/17 in fast nationals, 11.3/18 in the overnights, 16.25 million viewers and a 7.2/18 among adults 18-49. Fast nationals were almost 2 ratings point higher than Boston Legal does. Boston Legal had 13.07 million viewers and an A18-49 rating of 4.8/13, for its premiere. If this holds up, I think Boston Legal will be on the move next season to Tuesday or Thursday at 10pm. Maybe Grey's Anatomy will also be on the move next fall if it lasts and does well, because I see Soccer Moms in that slot next season.

I thought it was brilliant. I was honestly expecting some sort of sappy drama that was focused more on the fact that our lead heroine slept with her boss. While that was a factor in the pilot it was not the focus. And that surprised me. I wonder how realistic it is, all these interns seem a little old, but I can let that slide. I will be watching this again, it showed a lot of promise, especially for a premiere episode having to set everything up.

I hate needles, blood, medicine, & hospitals.... but loved this show. It's no Desperate Housewives, and not even Boston Legal, but I liked it a lot and will continue to tune in.

I just hope ABC makes room for both this and BL in the fall.

Pavan.... and idea as to where we can expect this after its month long run in the BL timeslot??

Mr. Television · 04-01-2005, 07:11 PM

I loved this show. I hope the ratings hold up. So far I like all of ABC's midseason shows.

Well, the April 17 airing is labeled the season finale, so I guess they will only air four episodes and air the other 9 in the summer or the fall? If this continues to do well, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in May on Thursdays (but not the first two Thursdays, as ABC has already scheduled network television premiere movies then).

Sounds good.
ABC has really impressed me this year. I've liked 6 of their 8 new dramas. Two of them are now my two favorite of all time. Hopefully next year is just as impressive, preferably on the sitcom side.

Caffeine King · 04-02-2005, 05:20 AM

I loved Grey's Anatomy. This will definetly be back next season.

Let's hope it's ratings can hold up for this week's episode.

The pilot was awesome imo. Not much more I can say (cant think of anything else to say) It's late and I just felt like stating that I enjoyed it.

As for Boston Legal, did the Boston Public crossover air and if so when will it rerun?

Pavan · 04-04-2005, 11:04 AM

If you thought the pilot did well in the ratings, you will be more impressed with episode 2. The pilot last week did a stellar 10.0/7 ... this week it BUILT on that and scored a 11.4/18.

ABC has found yet another hit drama in the ratings. Now, I think ABC might keep the show on Sunday nights next fall, but I think a move to Tuesdays at 10 is still possible.

memarkw · 04-04-2005, 01:44 PM

I watched it last night for the first time, having missed it last week. I loved it. It's so real. I would love to see it stay after DH for the rest of the season, then move opposite ER next season.

When I first saw that I did a doubletake and thought it had to be a misprint. Incredibly impressive.

Personally, I like the show. I hope ABC finds a good spot for it after the try-out period.

Tibbs · 04-04-2005, 08:39 PM

I have to say that I liked it even though I usually don't go for those dramedies. But this one for some reason got me interested and I like it.

barwars · 04-05-2005, 08:44 PM

I liked the second episode more than the first.... and I loved the first.

*MIBabe03* · 04-07-2005, 12:58 PM

It's a pretty good show.

Mr. Television · 04-07-2005, 04:39 PM

I liked the second episode even better too. I hope they decide to air all the shows they have filmed and not hold them over to next season.

Pavan · 04-08-2005, 12:43 PM

Missed the first two episodes? Fear not, ABC will reair them tomorrow from 9-11pm ET:

"Grey’s Anatomy" will air as one time only telecasts on Saturday, April 9, 2005 in the 9:00 PM & 10:00 PM ET/PT time periods.

These will be the first two episode encore telecasts of "Grey’s Anatomy."

ABC Saturday Movie Of The Week "About A Boy" was previously scheduled to air in the 9:00 - 11:00 PM ET/PT time period on this date.
