It's that time again. The time we know and love. Fourth of July weekend. Warm weather, fireworks, cookouts… can't be beat. Oh, and it's also time for the Grey's Anatomy Caption Contest. We almost forgot. Not really.

This week's winner, for the image below, is Rachel. We got a lot of good replies but hers took the cake by a slim margin. Other caption that deserve honorable mentions came from Emma, Flaca and April — but everyone is a winner here at the Insider. We are grateful for every response we get, and appreciate how fun you make this weekly contest.

Thanks again for playing, and be sure to check out this week's contest!

Sure, Dr. Shepherd is McDreamy and Dr. Burke is McPerfect. But one of their subordinates may have bumbled his way into just as many hearts.

T.R. Knight, who plays the sweet, awkward and overlooked George O'Malley, is on the Entertainment Weekly "Must List" — people in the entertainment world we must know more about, and keep our eyes on.

He's shy and emotional. He means well but makes bad decisions. He's excruciating to watch at times, but always lovable. Everyone can relate to him. In an interview with EW, Knight talked about his own "crush-worthy" status, himself compared to O'Malley, Meredith, Callie, and what's up next for him… if anything.

On becoming a heartthrob:
"That's not something I see. I don't foresee myself ever seeing that, unless I get some work done."

George vs. T.R.:
"We do have a lot in common. Like, when people are a$$holes, I kind of freeze up, because I don't expect that to happen."

Meredith vs. Callie:
"It's nice to know that someone is into [George] who doesn't cry during sex or give him syphilis."

On passionate Grey's Anatomy fans:
"I got a swat on the arm from a woman on the street, saying 'Shame on you for sleeping with Meredith!' But I believe it was a loving swat."

Random, George-like ramblings:
"Dissimilarities… is that even a word? Or is it like uncomfortability? I used that for a long time. Then I realized discomfort was a lot easier. The word uncomfortability is uncomfortable."

On looking for addtional work:
"I could lie and say 'You know, I just want to take some time off.' But I'm auditioning to see if they want to show me some love, and so far they're not showing me some love."

It's okay, T.R. You can rest assured that all of us at the Insider and 20 million other Grey's Anatomy fans will show you the love in season three.

You know a show has become a hit when it starts leaving a mark — however small — on contemporary culture.

The characters on Grey's Anatomy are known for their witty banter, and a couple of their catch-phrases have become a part of the American lexicon. Beginning very early in the first season, a "McLabeling" trend.

The first reference was, obviously, to Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd. Smitten with Derek from day one, Dr. Meredith Grey used the term to convey that he was, in her estimation, the quintessential heartthrob.

As the clever phrase caught on with audiences and cast members alike, other characters (and pets, and inanimate objects) began being McLabeled.

Derek's former best friend, Dr. Mark Sloan, was nicknamed "McSteamy" by the interns when he visited Seattle Grace. In addition to his handsomeness, Sloan was also Addison Shepherd's infamous former lover, contributing greatly to his McSteaminess — and the "McVomit" George was about to choke down if forced to listen to his counterparts gush over Sloan any longer.

When Addison (who is "McHot" herself, according to normally macho intern Alex Karev) and Derek decided to reconcile, Meredith lamented losing her "McLife" and adopted a shaggy "McDog" to help herself cope. When her canine companion fell ill, he was treated by Finn Dandridge, who promptly became known as "McVet."

Additionally, the characters often overuse "seriously" both at the start and the end of sentences, making their questions or statements more emphatic.

Creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes says that Krista Vernoff, one of the show's top writers, used the saying all the time, and it quickly grew contagious, spreading to the cast and permeating its dialogue.

What do the writers have in store for us next season? We can only wait and see, but chances are that these and other amusing trends will surface.

He's busy these days, balancing the roles of a family man and a charming McVet. But Chris O'Donnell will be taking on a new job with the company.

Playing agent Jack McCauliffe in TNT's upcoming mini-series The Company — the insiders' nickname for the CIA — O'Donnell will star in a story about the agency during the Cold War era.

Based on the 2002 novel by Robert Lettell, the series will focus on the double lives agents were forced to lead in that period. O'Donnell will play a loyal spy whose trust will be put to ultimate test in the intriguing world of international espionage.

To date, O'Donnell is the only one signed to act in the project.

The Scott brothers (director-producers Ridley and Tony) are the executive producers behind the series, and have experience bringing pictures like this to both the big and small screens. They pair signed Ken Nolan, the man responsible for adapting Black Hawk Down, to write the teleplay, along with renowned cinematographer Mikael Salomon.

The Company is slated for broadcast in 2007. Prior to joining the cast of Grey's Anatomy as Meredith's veterinarian and love interest, Finn Dandridge, O'Donnell's previous foray into TV was the short-lived Fox series Head Cases.

… Last night's episode was great. Even though we've seen it before. It's amazing how good Grey's Anatomy is, even in repeat viewings. We can't help but feel for Meredith all over again as Addison comes between her and Derek, and watching Cristina battle her emotions is both funny and heartbreaking.

Whether or not you watched the show last night, check out our Episode Guide for a play-by-play. The Insider has also compiled a list of quotes from "Deny, Deny, Deny" for your reading enjoyment. Prepare to laugh, cry and make snide remarks along with Cristina et al.

We're still at leats two and a half months away from the start of next season, but we should at least have some good opportunities to catch up on re-runs this summer, which is certainly better than nothing!

Does Grey's Anatomy go out of its way to downplay its stars' physical attractiveness?

While that might seem crazy — we are talking, after all, about a show starring Patrick Dempsey — a reader posed this question to TV Guide in regards to Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey.

A magazine spread showed the reader a different, beautiful side of the actress (pictured) that Grey's fans never see in the crass, no-nonsense doctor she plays.

Matt Roush of TV Guide concurs that most of the actors on Grey's Anatomy are actually made to look worse — in other words, much more real than TV typically portrays. One of the things people love about the show is how it allows even glamorous actors to look frazzled, unkempt, exhausted and rarely at their best. As if they really are on call 70 hours a week.

While the show might stretch reality with its medical story lines, it deserves due credit for avoiding the vanity trap… mostly. Justin Chambers somehow stays smugly handsome at all times, and the producers can't resist putting Katherine Heigl in form-fitting blue scrbs. Not that we're complaining…

The newly-engaged Katherine Heigl is among a panel of celebrity judges who helped Old Navy in its nationwide search for a new canine mascot.

Six adorable finalists have been selected by the judges as worthy replacements for much-loved "spokesdog," Magic, who appeared in the popular clothing company's advertisements in the late '90s. Now it's up to America to pick the winner. From now until July 7, people can vote on their favorite pup on the Old Navy website.

The six mutts vying to be part of advertising history, even though they have no idea at all that any of this is going on, are:

• Sandi, “The Bandit,” Bartlett, IL
• Cooper, “The Athlete,” Plano, TX
• Paco, “The Free Spirit,” Venice Beach, CA
• Josie, “The Sweetheart,” Mesa, AZ
• Bean, “The Live Wire,” Emeryville, CA
• Data, “The Prankster,” Freeland, MI

Hmm. Heigl seems like the free-spirit type, but a real sweetheart as well, so who knows where her allegiances lie. In any case, joining Katherine as judges were Alfre Woodard of Desperate Housewives, Malcolm David Kelley of Lost, and Kristin Chenoweth, former star of The West Wing and an Old Navy spokesperson herself.

They selected the final competitors from over 120,000 entries, based upon appearance and personality from each dog’s profile. We're somewhat partial to Paco (pictured), but we wish all the finalists our best!

Another fine Caption Contest this past week, we have to say. A lot of responses regarding flatulence, some of which were amusing, and some other replies that came out of left field. After much debate, the staff has come to a consensus and named Leila the winner. Congratulations. No honorable mentions this week, because (… wait for it …) you guys all the bomb. Get it? The picture? Never mind.

The strong sophomore season by Grey's Anatomy was good enough for fifth place in ratings among all prime time programs in 2005-06, according to a list released by The Hollywood Reporter.

Nearly 20 million people tuned in to watch the antics and drama of the Seattle Grace staff every week, a number eclipsed only by Desperate Housewives (the show's Sunday lead-in before ABC moved Grey's to Thursday), CSI, and both nights of American Idol.

While the Shonda Rhimes brainchild and unique medical drama did well throughout its second season, it really picked up steam after its two-part, post-Super Bowl episode and reached new highs with a three-part, season-ending cliffhanger.

Four CBS programs made the top 10, while both ABC and FOX occupied three spots. NBC was blanked. Here’s the top 10, ranked by average viewers:

1. American Idol (Tuesday), 31.2 million
2. American Idol (Wednesday), 30.2 million
3. CSI, 25 million
4. Desperate Housewives, 22.2 million
5. Grey’s Anatomy, 19.9 million
6. Without A Trace, 18.7 million
7. Dancing with the Stars (Thursday), 18.6 million
8. Survivor: Guatemala, 18.3 million
9. CSI: Miami, 18.1 million
10. House, 17.3 miillion

In other news, Buena Vista Television is trying to hammer out a cable syndication deal involving Grey’s Anatomy. The company is reportedly seeking $2 million per episode in an all-cash, four-year licensing deal with no cap on the number of seasons. The syndication arrangement would start in 2009, with the repurposed episodes airing sooner than that.

Some in the cable TV business think the final episode price will be closer to $700,000 per, while others estimate it could end up at more than $1 million. Desperate Housewives, also owned by Buena Vista, recently went to Lifetime at $500,000 per episode and is slated for a 2008 start. The asking price was initially $1.2 million per episode.

The syndicator is targeting Turner networks, USA, ABC Family and, perhaps, Oxygen, as future homes for Grey's Anatomy.
