Grey's Anatomy Cast Tops Magazine's List of 2006's Best Entertainers
The cast of Grey's Anatomy tops Entertainment Weekly's list of the year's top entertainers because of their cultural impact, the magazine said.
The year-end issue of Entertainment Weekly hits U.S. newsstands starting Friday with its widely watched lists of the year's top picks in movies, music, TV, books and many other categories.
Entertainment Weekly said the cast of Grey's Anatomy - McDreamy, McSteamy and all the others - led the chart of top entertainers because they had a cultural impact beyond their show's roughly 20 million weekly viewers. In addition, the episodes - filled with sexual affairs and career problems - sparked chatter around offices, schools and homes across the U.S.
"Grey's Anatomy isn't just a show, it's a phenomenon," said Entertainment Weekly Executive Editor Lori Majewski.
"Back in May when last season's final show aired, every place in New York City was empty. You could get a table at the best restaurants."
Congrats to the Grey's Anatomy cast from the Insider!

What a wonderful honor. Not only is it good entertainment but it has gone a long ways to let us see that people from various ethnic and racial groups are all in the end just people with the same needs, desires, and hopes as everyone else. I love that about the show. It is great that the entertainment industry is recognizing this. I live in an urban area and have the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people, but some folks live in areas that are pretty homogenous. It is wonderful to have these television friends as models of diversity.

They so deserve this honor. It's a great show and the cast and crew do an exceptional job. They also have some of the best guest stars that deserve credit also because they help bring the show together too. I know we will be watching GA for a long time.
