Grey's Anatomy: Season 3 Mr. Cranky's rating:
I don't know how a television show can survive when its main character talks like she's reading from a book of poetry she wrote in junior high school. That this show got nominated for an Emmy is a revolting thing, like finding somebody's greasy hair in your breakfast burrito. It's just not very good, the characters aren't very likable, and it's poorly written in an amazing kind of way that makes you wonder how the people behind it could be paying so little attention to their scripts. I don't know how a television show can survive when its main character talks like she's reading from a book of poetry she wrote in junior high school. Season 3 begins with Izzie (Katherine Heigl) lying on the floor of Meredith's house, distraught over the death of a patient and no longer a doctor, having quit. It finds Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) trying to figure out what to do after having slept with Dr. Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) at the end of season 2. It has Dr. Burke (Isaiah Washington) lying in a hospital bed, recovering from surgery to his hand. It finds Dr. Yang (Sandra Oh) trying to figure out what to do for Dr. Burke. It finds Dr. Addison Shepherd (Kate Walsh) finding Meredith's panties in her husband's tuxedo and realizing her marriage to Derek is really over. It finds George (T.R. Knight) trying to figure out what to do with his relationship with Dr. Torres (Sara Ramirez). Has anybody in this show heard the old adage "don't shit where you eat"? Apparently not. This show shouldn't be called "Grey's Anatomy", it should be called "Shit Where You Eat". If it were on HBO, it would be called "Shit Where You Eat". Somebody on cable should do a show called "Shit Where You Eat". I swear to god, how many relationships have to cause work-related problems before somebody thinks to themselves, maybe fucking the people I work with isn't such a hot idea? And that's not even the show's biggest problem. So much inane crap begins to pour out of the mouths of the main characters that you just want to rip your hair out. I mean, the first episode involves a group of teenage schoolgirls and a dumped baby and a mystified Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. We're apparently supposed to believe that there's no way to check which one of the kids has had the baby or something like that. Then there's George and Derek, quarantined in the locker room, going through the lockers to find food. I was curious that all these lockers have combination locks on them but none of them are actually locked. It's stuff like this that piles up in this show like a train wreck. "Grey's Anatomy" is easily the most overrated show on television.
Was it really that bad?
