George needs to be with izzie period, and Alex was ONLY good with Ava. Izzie is his go-to girl when he is feeling lonely, that is not love. That is sick and I will never believe Izzie is in love with him when she never saw him as more than pity sex before.
I hate them enough that I will quit thi show if they are together.

No Grey doesn't have the highest ratings in its time slot, CSI has, and has been beating Grey all season both in numbers and 18-49 all important demo. Not only that but Grey fell out of the top 10. DVR was high also last eyar and they still pulled in about 18 millions, and about 20 millions when Gizzie was together, hmm, now they are pulling about 14 millions. DVR was a factor also last year, everyone is pretty much in agreement all shows are down but Grey is very much down even compared to other shows.
For goodness sake, ER is pulling in about 9 millions after 15 years which is just 5 millions below with 10 years more on their road map. You think Grey will still be there in 10 years? i doubt so.
The Gizzie fans have quit, the general fans are bored with the show only the AI fanatics are loving it and they are only loving their sick couple not the erst of the show.
fan of the show--
As a Christian I'd like to ask you to leave Christianity and any other religious reference out of the discussion.
We are the world-- together with all our differences. Every religion and every race and every other difference has its value and purpose.
GA is not a religious show.
If I recall correctly-- this is a website to discuss GREYS ANATOMY-- the TV Drama-- it's characters, plotlines and such.
Now, what were we talking about???
Oh, yes, discussion...
1. Alex and Izzie
2. George and Izzie, as past.
3. Fans' opinions of these relationships, whether negative or positive.
4. I'd like to add one-- negative opinions about some relationship, character, plotline or other aspect of the show DOES NOT automatically mean that the person giving that opinion hates the entire show and is going to stop watching.
5. One more I'd like to add-- those who claim they are so mad they will no longer watch and are no longer a fan-- why post on, or go to for that matter, a FAN WEBSITE???
hmmmmmm.....
food for thought.
this place has no room for race or religious-based intolerance. PERIOD.
Here's my first comment in the new line of discussion--
LOVE GA!!!
GREY'S ROCKS!!!
Wasn't Mer & Cristina's race down the hall just priceless??? Can't wait to see the whole thing tonight!!
(too bad for Holly and Marie since they'll miss all the good stuff tonight-- sorry, you know there are consequences to every decision we make in life-- teehee!)
SMILE! :)

Why people who quit are posting? Because we are hoping things get better and we are telling Shonda what would bring us back. She does have to wodner why the ratings are lower right, and the only way she can know that is by the people who actually quit the show. It is quite simple. We have every right to speak as anyone else. I know I am hoping things get better so I can come back and the only way i would is if they repaired the Gizzie connection, even if it is just as best friends and of course if they end the abusive relationship between Alex and izzie.

What good stuff? The highlight is on Youtube. I watch a bit of it and the show really sucks badly lately. I am not missing the show one but, only Gizzie. I haven't watched since 4.7 and I don't miss Grey at all, only Gizize, so no, no consequence. It was the easiest decision in the world.
Here are the ratings from last week, Grey dropped out of the top 10 :
Prime-time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research for Oct. 20-26. Listings include the week's ranking, with viewership for the week and season-to-date rankings in parentheses. An "X" in parentheses denotes a one-time-only presentation.
1. (1) "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 19.49 million viewers.
2. (2) "Dancing with the Stars," ABC, 18.5 million viewers.
3. (3) "NCIS," CBS, 17.23 million viewers.
4. (7) "Dancing with the Stars Results," ABC, 16.35 million viewers.
5. (4) "Desperate Housewives," ABC, 15.95 million viewers.
6. (X) World Series Game 4: Tampa Bay at Philadelphia, Fox, 15.48 million viewers.

Oh and I didn,t mean to say all the Gizzie fans quit, but I do know a lot who did and some who watch just out of habit now but lost their love for the show.
If all the Gizzie fans had quit, the ratings would be much lower, but a lot did.

Can't remember if this is the same username I used last time.. I would just like to respond to the ratings comments. Many Gizzie fans still watch the show! And so do TONS of general fans who are on the fence or would be happy either way, Alex or George. My friends and one of my cousins included. Although I like Alex and Izzie, I'm not a fanatic, and I would not be heartbroken if they didn't end up together. And although I don't very much like George and Izzie, I think I'd be okay if they end up together too. The real problem with Grey's going down is because of the srike first of all: the producer's were taking it too slow the first half of the season, and then didn't have time to fit everything in in the second, so a lot of things were ignored and many fans lost interest. Also, so some polls, many people don't like the show because they think the Callie/Erica storyline is bizarre. I'm not one of those people, but some people are really hesitant with those issues, but that is another discussion completely.
So, weather or not your AI or Gizzie, if you like the show, watch it! If you don't like it anymore, don't watch it. If you're really upset about the ratings drop, get you're friends into it! But if you're not a fan anymore, don't comment on here, and say it's because of AI, or it was because of Gizzie, because no one really knows for sure and it just makes people mad.
My opinion.
leslieeee Says:
October 30th, 2008 3:56 PM
Okay, WHAT THE HELL.
This is a t.v. show! They are fake people! George and Izzie were not together for almost the first three seasons! How can you say you only watched it see them finally get together?? Or even if you just watched it to see their best friend moments, that is so pathetic. The show has an ensemble cast. You're not really a fan of the show if you say that. You're just a fan of Izzie and George's characters, and that's stupid. Do you really think that Shonda will listen to you guys complain? That is everyone for that matter, weather it's Alex and Izzie or MerDer, or Gizzie... She knows what is going to happen at the end, she has known from the beginning she said it herself. She knows who will end up with who. This is a STORY. It's a SHOW. Stop getting so upset over it. You don't just quit something when it's not going your way, you stick it out and you wait to see how it ends, that's the way life works. Even though I don't like Gizzie, I still watched the show when they were together, and I still liked it, because there were plenty of other characters that I loved, and plenty of other things going on. Stop complaining, everyone. This is somewhere to post your theories and discuss with other FANS the future of ALL the characters, this is not someplace to bash each other and talk about how bad the show is and talk about George/Izzie/Alex ONLY. Thanks.

October 30th, 2008 4:20 PM
Sorry, remembered my name :) ^ haha.
Anyways, some new thoughts that don't involve Alex or George or Izzie, haha...
Dr. Owen Hunt... hmmm. I don't know if I like him yet. He seems really cocky and harsh, but, hey, most surgeons are cocky on Grey's anyways... But the relationship between him and Cristina will definetly be fun to watch play out. I hope it's light and funny and not as serious as Burke/Cristina was, because shes still recovering from that I think.
Lexie and George... well George is clueless! Lexie is new so she doesn't know that yet, so I understand why she is upset, but then again, she didn't let George get a word in edgewise. But I do feel bad for her because she liked him so much. I wonder if she still likes him or if she is so mad at him right now that she doesn't anymore? Thoughts? (Oh, greysaddiction, I'm interested on your thoughts on them, you're a great fan and you're also a Gizzie fan, so you're opinion may be different from mine? Thoughts?)
I want Mark to be with someone so bad! Some people have been saying Izzie, but I don't think I like that and I don't think she would go for him... I was thinking about Lexie, because they seem to have a lot of fun dialogue, but I'm not sure about it anymore, but it would sure be interesting to see.
Oh! I don't think we'll have to worry about Meredith being bisexual with Sadie. IF there was anything with them that was sexual, it was probably just when Meredith was young and having fun and experimenting... lots of girls do it and it's not a big deal. It definetly will not be something that Derek and Meredith get into a fight/breakup over and I'm almost positive Meredith is not bi.
Bailey being Cheif for a day... well I think we all expected her to be cheif eventually. I think she'll have a little trouble with it, which will be new for her, but at the end of the day she'll have done a good job =)
As for Callie and Erica... I'm still not convinced that Callie really likes Erica as much as she thinks, or if she is just confused with what Mark and Addison said. Either way, I still love Callie. I used to hate Erica but she is growing on me, and I hope we find out more about her this season!
LOVE GREYS.

October 30th, 2008 4:20 PM
I was a fan of the whole show.é They just ruined every character and now they are all selfish and weird. Where is Magic? Since when are they 4 people? George and Izzie's friendship and then romance was always the biggest point of interest for me and I don't think that makes me pathetic. They have just always been the best thing on the show, but the erst of the show used to be pretty decent too. It isn't anymore, and the AI thing is the worst thing going on right now but they are also other bad things. Callica and Mark is weird, not because I am against the lesbian thing, I adored Bianca and Maggie on AMC, but because they have no chemistry and the using Mark is disgusting.
I watch sometimes, but not that much. I can miss a few episodes then watch one. I watched episodes 4.1 and 4.4 but not the others and i am not watching tonight. It depends on what is on.
I have the right to say why I have problems with the show. You also should not tell people they don,t have a life because they post 1 or 2 messgaes on this board, which takes about 5 minuites and doesn,t prevent them from doing a lot of other things in the other 23 hours and 55 minutes of their life.
Everyone has the right to post whether they watch or not.
Shonda doesn't know what is going to happen. She did an interview two months ago where she said she had absolutely no plan for the future and had no idea where the show was going, and she was winging it.
It is also pretty obvious she hadn't planned to drop Gizzie so soon and she did because she listened to the haters complain. Aussiello and Kristen both confirmed that, so she does listen to people complaining. Patrick Dempsey said Shonda had started paying a lot of attention to what fans wanted starting in season 4.
Really before saying something, check your facts so you are not that easy to refute.
I have a life. A husband, a kid on the way, which explains why I am at home on maternity leave right now, and a lot of friends. It doesn't stop me from being pissed off that Shonda is showing abuse as romantic. I have a young sister who can get influenced by that crap and is just starting to date. I don't want her to get the idea in her head that the nice guys are inferior and that she can save the bad abusive boy by the pwoer of her love. Way too many women get stuck in abusive relationships and way too many guys think being nice is weak and doesn,t get you the girl, a message this show is sending.

the premier of greys rated more than 5,000 million more viewers than the show than came in second (survivor) in it's first hour. Then it brought in almost 9,000 more viewers in its second hour over CSI. as for the following week debate.
then the next week was the premier of CSI so yes it brrought in more viewers...but only for those who watched live!..DVR ratings came in later putting greys ahead in all. Oh and take into consideration that when you look up the Nielsen rating most of the time you are only going to see the live numbers (Those who watched the show while it was being aired not thos who DVRed or TVoed DVR ratings count) Oh and the number I used above are live numbers!
I agree with lovegreysx3

DVR ratings came out for the first week when CSI was a repeat and even with the DVR ratings, Grey was below its last season premiere by about 20%.
If you have DVR numbers for the following weeeks, please post the link to it here.
CSI has been constantly ahead of Grey this season and not just on its premiere. Episodes 3,4 and 5 of Grey also placed second behind CSI by about 4 millions viewers and Grey was twice second in the 18 to 49 demo which they had never been before.
But yeah if you have DVR numbers for episodes after the Grey premiere that was against a CSI REPEAT, please post them here.
You should have the link and all.
The person below had the link to the ratings talked about.
Because Grey last year had 18 to 20 millions viewers LIVE without DVR and even more with the DVR and they now have 14 millions LIVE, that is a 4 million drop live.
Gabi Says:
October 30th, 2008 4:42 PM
Well it also bugged me when Gizzie haters said they wouldn,t watch because of Gizzie. They said it so much, Shonda dropped Gizzie even though the ratings did not go down with Gizzie. They only started to go down on 4.8 AFTER Gizzie broke up and BEFORE the strike. How do you explain that the two episodes before the strike had some of Grey's lowest ratings. That was before the strike and Gizzie wasn,t together.
And you didn't answer me, where you as annoyed with the Gizzie haters when they acted EXACTLY like we are.
Did you once say Gizzie isn't so bad and let their fans enoy them?

All right as experiments are discussed...I remember Chernobil nucliar power station.It blasted out because staff experimented.The consequences were catastrofic for East Europe.
Compared with this lesbian experiments are not big deal.
I confess that I have Watched the american movie HAIR and
Irealize that this opinion is influenced by hippies.
greysaddiction, if u dont see it as love than u either arent such a big fan and haven watched enough to notice the puppy eyes karev makes...or you are a rather angry feminist who thinks that we, women, cannot fall in love for a jerk.
sry...one way or the other...
but watch all of previous episodes, yes...ALL OF THEM!!! season 2 was a very good example of such. His eyes were so...it's hard to explain, but he really feels a lil something else for her. AND I REFUSE TO AGREE WITH YOU, IT IS NOT LUST

It doesn't stop me from being pissed off that Shonda is showing abuse as romantic. I have a young sister who can get influenced by that crap and is just starting to date. I don't want her to get the idea in her head that the nice guys are inferior and that she can save the bad abusive boy by the pwoer of her love. Way too many women get stuck in abusive relationships and way too many guys think being nice is weak and doesn,t get you the girl, a message this show is sending.

Sorry, I commented as lovegreysx3 before. When I pointed ^ I was pointing to that comment, not that one from leslieeee.

Hmm I have the right to express my opinion, thank you. Grey matter is censuring us and now the people here are trying to do the same thing. Question, when the Gizzie haters wouldn't give up on bashing Gizzie and threatened to quit, did you lecture them too? After all I learned everything single thing I know about whining and threatening from them.

the premier of greys rated more than 5,000 million more viewers than the show than came in second (survivor) in it's first hour. Then it brought in almost 9,000 more viewers in its second hour over CSI. as for the following week debate.
then the next week was the premier of CSI so yes it brrought in more viewers...but only for those who watched live!..DVR ratings came in later putting greys ahead in all. Oh and take into consideration that when you look up the Nielsen rating most of the time you are only going to see the live numbers (Those who watched the show while it was being aired not thos who DVRed or TVoed DVR ratings count) Oh and the number I used above are live numbers!
I agree with lovegreysx3

I hope everyone enjoys the show tonight and I am sorry if things don't go your way and it is a little nice to be able to vent on here but saing you not going to watch anymore just bug the hardcore fans.

DVR ratings came out for the first week when CSI was a repeat and even with the DVR ratings, Grey was below its last season premiere by about 20%.
If you have DVR numbers for the following weeeks, please post the link to it here.
CSI has been constantly ahead of Grey this season and not just on its premiere. Episodes 3,4 and 5 of Grey also placed second behind CSI by about 4 millions viewers and Grey was twice second in the 18 to 49 demo which they had never been before.
But yeah if you have DVR numbers for episodes after the Grey premiere that was against a CSI REPEAT, please post them here.
You should have the link and all.
The person below had the link to the ratings talked about.
Because Grey last year had 18 to 20 millions viewers LIVE without DVR and even more with the DVR and they now have 14 millions LIVE, that is a 4 million drop live.

Well it also bugged me when Gizzie haters said they wouldn,t watch because of Gizzie. They said it so much, Shonda dropped Gizzie even though the ratings did not go down with Gizzie. They only started to go down on 4.8 AFTER Gizzie broke up and BEFORE the strike. How do you explain that the two episodes before the strike had some of Grey's lowest ratings. That was before the strike and Gizzie wasn,t together.
And you didn't answer me, where you as annoyed with the Gizzie haters when they acted EXACTLY like we are.
Did you once say Gizzie isn't so bad and let their fans enoy them?

All right as experiments are discussed...I remember Chernobil nucliar power station.It blasted out because staff experimented.The consequences were catastrofic for East Europe.
Compared with this lesbian experiments are not big deal.
I confess that I have Watched the american movie HAIR and
Irealize that this opinion is influenced by hippies.

greysaddiction, if u dont see it as love than u either arent such a big fan and haven watched enough to notice the puppy eyes karev makes...or you are a rather angry feminist who thinks that we, women, cannot fall in love for a jerk.
sry...one way or the other...
but watch all of previous episodes, yes...ALL OF THEM!!! season 2 was a very good example of such. His eyes were so...it's hard to explain, but he really feels a lil something else for her. AND I REFUSE TO AGREE WITH YOU, IT IS NOT LUST
sry, i happen to know the freaking diference...God knows we can't ever have your love advice...we'd all die alone
