Grey’s Anatomy, there is no doubt, is more of a “chick” show than a guy’s type of show.  And that’s precisely why I love it so much.  My boyfriend can watch his basketball games while I’m in my tv room, slobbering over my latest infatuation, Dr. McDreamy, played by Patrick Dempsey, and wallowing in the awesomeness of how the quasi-soap opera tends to bring realness to the sometimes unreal situations they tend to find themselves in every day.

Add to that the sexual tension and subplots in the show, and you’ve got bonified woman-candy for a show!  But on a serious note, I do think the show is well crafted, and does have some excellent acting involved as well.  While Ellen Pompeo’s take on her character Meredith Grey is sometimes a little whiny at times and needy, I do like the other characters in the show.  George’s goofy take on his character is a good twist and the fact that he’s obsessed with Meredith is just another juicy - woman friendly twist to the show that makes it a juicy bit for the taking and makes it all that much more of a guilty pleasure. 

The melodramatic aspect of the show is what makes it a guilty pleasure for me.  I usually don’t get into shows where girls are all mopey over a guy, and there’s almost invariably a sappy, emotional ending to each episode, but somehow with Grey’s Anatomy I let it slide, and it just seems to fit the actors and the stories the show’s writers have created for the talented actors. 

Let’s face it, there’s a reason why Grey’s Anatomy is a huge commercial success - because sex sells, and so does melodrama.  And bring on some more!  I’m on the second CD - I got Netflix of my own especially for this show, since my boyfriend tends to gobble up the Netflix movie rentals with his own rentals, and this one if finally something of my own!
