Sorry for a negative but this is really alarming

Grey’s Anatomy is still on the air. 😯😖🥴

Oh, who played Dr. Cristina Yang, the brilliant and ambitious best friend of Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), was part of the cast when it debuted in 2005. She left the Shonda Rhimes medical drama in 2014, as Yang left the hospital for a top job in Switzerland. But the phenomenally successful show has continued, and it's currently in its 17th season on ABC.

1. I just remarked about this the other day at home

I couldn’t believe it and had no idea.

4. I actually used to watch it

I lost interest when she drowned for three weeks but ended up being okay.

2. America loves legal and medical dramas.

I don't, but clearly there is a fixation on them by networks. Are they just lazy? Or is it a bottom line thing?

3. Bottom line

As long as it’s making enough money they’ll put it on the air.

8. I think it's both.

It’s formulaic, meaning there’s no deep thought involved, and people will still watch. Look at all the Law & Orders, CSIs, NCISs, Chicago Med/PD/Fire....lather, rinse, repeat.

Plus, I imagine they’re cheap to make. Look at how Law & Order recycles actors. One week’s defense attorney is next week’s perp. I go to a lot of regional theater and a universal credit of almost all the actors are L&O and the Chicago procedurals.

5. People still watch that?

6. Sorry. What it's still on the air? Why is that alarming?

7. Just making a joke.

I had no idea. Good for everyone associated with the show though.

9. ER was well-made and actually (thanks to a brilliant cast and very good medical advisors) tended

to get most things pretty accurate (and believable). It was fast-paced and generally interesting. The show's reruns hold up today even decades later.

Grey's Anatomy? An embarrassment. Someone likes it, though, I guess.

13. I loved ER. Fantastic, just as you said. I have never watched GA once.

10. I have watched every episode on Netflix

I think 15 or 16 seasons. I think every charactor has died at least once.

11. Oh, good. I was afraid you were going to say

“Friends” was back.

Oh, wait.

12. Oh that

God that show sucked.
