No, The office and 30 rock both went up this year. So not all TV shows went down.
I'm gone from Grey. Obviously Shonda can only write for guys she consider hot. It seems to her hotness is all that matters in a guy, and if you look cute but not hot, you get run over by a bus..literally.
Well I'm not interested in beautiful superficial people I can't relate to.
I have never met any guys like the ones in that show, except for George. He's the one real guy in them all.
My husband said he was the only one remotely like him.
I want real character, not cookie-cutter models.
It might have been TR's decision, but Shonda pushed him to it.
I don't hate Izzie at all. I have always loved her. I couldn't love Gizzie if I hated Izzie.
I just love George more and think he's a bigger loss to the show.

It's been a few days and I'm still devastated about this.
Never seeing George again, never seeing George and Izzie together again.
That's the worst thing that could happen for me.
Anna Says:
June 23rd, 2009 4:12 PM
You know what? I'll miss George and Gizzie so much, but I'll also miss George and Alex. I know I must be the one Gizzie fan who like Alex, but I do. I always liked the whole love-hate George and Alex has, and I really loved the friendship they were starting to develop in the end.
I was looking forward to more Justin and TR scenes, my two favorite actors together. I know they're close in real life too.
I'll miss George, Gizzie, the friendship between George and Mer, his relationship with Bailey and his weird relationship with Alex.
I'll miss George. I usually go more for bad boys than good ones, but George won me over from the very first day and right now, I feel like I just lost an extremely beloved friend.
George will always be my favorite character, no matter what happens.

i understand the frustration that george fans are feeling, but shonda said that she kept george in the backround specifically for the season finale, and i do believe that...i believe that if george didnt ask to leave greys then he would have been here for season six. i just think shonda didnt tell t.r. why she didn't give him all the writing because she didn't want to spoil the finale for anyone, and she didn't tell anyone.
Kim Says:
June 23rd, 2009 9:47 PM
Question is, would Shonda have treated any other cast member that horribly? Do you honestly see her backburnering Katie or Ellen or Eric a whole season without telling them why?
I don't. It shows the lack of respect she had for him as an actor and as a person, and her lack of respect for the George fans.
She didn,t care at all how much we missed him all season. She didn,t care about our feelings at all.
I still believe that if she had told TR she had a big story planned for him in season 6, he would have stayed.
But she never seemeed to get just how much George emant to so many of us.
She used him twice for a cliffhanger.
To her, George was just someone to use for publicity because TR was in the news, a character she could easily sacrifice for the sake of a cliffhanger.
For many of us though, George was the heart and soul of Grey, the character we related to, the underdog we all wanted to succeed.
To this end, she used George to make people talk. Instead of letting us say goodbye, instead of finally letting the lovable underdog succeed and get some happiness and respect, she threw him under a bus and only informed us in the last two minutes.
So we are left with 10 minutes of George all season, and not even an occasion for everyone and for us to tell him goodbye.
I still don't get why everyone got to say goodbye to Izzie when she knew she was staying but she didn't allow us any closure, and any way to say goodbye to George, a character she knew was never coming back.
It feels like a giant slap in the face to all of us who have loved this character and never stopped rooting for him.
Actors quit shows all the time, and shows most of the time find way for fans to be able to say goodbye.
Marc Cherry hated Nicolette Sheridan but he still gave her plenty of story her last year and he gave us a lovely sendoff.
Doctor Pratt had stories right up until his very last episode and he had a whole episode devoted to this death.
But George a beloved character, a fixture since day one, gets two minutes?
That's unforgivable!

this will suck, season 6 starts without o'malley
super!!
The show will not be the same..
That sucks. We got no George at all, and now he's dead?
Why does Shonda hate him so much? Couldn't she have written him a big story like Izzie, shown him some respect at least for all the fans who love George?
Do we not count at all?
I'm sure he would have stayed if they had given him a fraction of the airtime Izzie has been getting.
I love George, and this makes me really mad.

Corinne Says:

Shonda really annoys me with her lies. I believe the rest will miss TR and we will miss him, but she wanted him gone and did everything she could so he would leave.
I'll miss George. He represented everything that was good and loving on Grey.
I don't know what to believe with what happened between Shonda Rhimes and TR Knight (behind the scenes) but TR is gone and I'm seriously going to miss George and the Gizzie friendship so good luck TR
tink it just hit me for the first time TR is really leaving and our George is probably going to die. This makes me so sad. I feel like someone has kicked me in the heart.
I'm so upset that Shonda probably knew he was going, and she couldn't even make the last episode about him.
I'd much rather have had one episode with George hurt and everyone telling him how much they loved him than to have a whole shocker ending.
Especially if that ending was going to be ruined three months before the new season.
You'd think honouring George, a character that we love, would be more important than shocking people for a few minutes, would you?
It makes me wonder if those rumors about her hating him are true. Why else would she give him such a crappy ending?
I will miss the Gizzie friendship too. I've been missing it all season. Of course, I miss them as a couple too.

This is my second post here only.
I had to write to say how much I love TR. All my best moments of the show were with him.
I love George and always will. I also thought he and Izzie were the sweetest together. I wish they had lasted.
just wondering?? Says:
June 26th, 2009 1:54 AM
I am having a hard time with this I haven't read all the posts but a lot people are blaming shonda that george will be gone like a puff of smoke but I read somewhere that shonda wanted TR to stick around for a few episodes for the start of next season but they couldn't work out an arrangement, its hard to know what goes on behind closed doors but couldn't TR have just come back for a few episodes for the start of the season??? Just for the fans it seemed kind of unfair to everyone - us- the fans that he couldn't do even just one episode maybe he could have lived and then come back sometime in the future for a/some special episode/s maybe shonda was not being fair with what she wanted??? I don't think either one of them thought about us the fans that watch the show. What do you think??? As a goodbye to the fans do you think he could have come back for just one episode to tie the ends up for us, it seems like he couldn't get away from the show quick enough. Good luck to him and I wish him all the best but I do fill a little sad that they both couldn't/wouldn't work something out. Goodbye george you were loved and will be missed so much the fab 5 no more
HG Says:

That's why I think he was miserable at work. He certainly got no support from Shonda and TPTB. They treated him like he was some useless actopr they kept to make GLAAD happy.
My God, the extras got more respect than him.
If the rumors are true and Shonda had it in for him since the IW days, I don't blame him for not wanting to work a second more with her.
And really? Even if he had come back two or three episodes, do you really expect Shonda to have given George the farewell he deserves?
After all, from all reports, she knew for months he wanted to leave.
Did she give him any attention the last few episodes? Barely.
In fact, rewatching the scenes with both Izzie and George dying, George's dying is barely given any attention while Izzie, who got the whole season focused on her, has all the big shots and all the airtime.
George is just shown to shock people in that elevator.
Maybe TR was tired of being taken out of the dustbin every few months and solely used as a ratings-grabber.
Shonda obviously didn't value George's character, and the love the fans felt for him.
If she did, she would have devoted the whole episode to his death, not done a tired who will die cliffhanger.
Like most fans, I love George and will miss him. I just don't think Shonda will miss him at all.
You know, she could still let us say goodbye to him without even needing TR around.
All she would have to do is give us a funeral with George flashbacks and people honouring him.
Do I think she will do it? Absolutely not. For Izzie, Mer, Derek, anyone else, I think she would.
For George and his fans? Hello no!
Why should TR work anymore for a woman who treats his character and his fans in such a way?

There was a time when I loved George the charakter. And I loved T.R. Knight for his wonderful kind of playing him. I love George still but I can't forgive T.R. Knight that he left the show this way. It's like he ruined it a bit 'cause he played George, the beloved cute George. A main character. And just because he couldn't play as much as some others T.R. Knight left. I still wish him a great life and a good career but I hope that if he gets another job he will think about why he got it. It's a pity.

Nick Says:

He didn't have less airtime than anyone. He was erased. The guest stars, the extras, they had all more. This has been going down for two years now. It's not like he left after a year too (like David Caruso), he left after giving us five wonderful years.
I wish the fans would stop being whiners. He gave everything he had the last two years while Shonda tortured him by all reports and gave him crap to do, and yet he had the decency to not say a word against the witch.
Blame Shonda, and thank TR for everything he has given us the last 5 years.
She took George from us, not him.
