On March 27, 2005, an surgical intern named Meredith Grey, daughter of renowned surgeon Ellis Grey, began her career at Seattle Grace Hospital along with fellow interns Izzie, George and Cristina. Ever since that day, we've been unable to get enough of this group as they struggle with life as surgeons -- and perhaps even more significantly, coming of age in a tumultuous world. All the medical schooling they've had can't prepare them for becoming adults, or help them discover what they want to get out of life.
As creator Shonda Rhimes has said of the show, it's a relationship-based drama set in a hosptial. The medical element is interesting, and the story lines intense. Yet all of that barely scratches the surface of Grey's Anatomy.
When Meredith's relationship with Derek blossomed and then crumbled, we were there right along with her. We all shake our heads at the way Dr. Burke saves lives in the O.R. and then deals with Cristina at home. We all want to make George grow a spine. To slug Alex in the face. To grab Derek by the shoulders and tell him to make up his freaking mind!
It's moving, sad and funny. Not unlike real life. It's no surprise that the show has attracted millions of devoted fans. Most of us will never be doctors, but we can all relate to the Grey's Anatomy characters in one way or another. This is why we love it so, and for the complete television program, we strive to create the ultimate fan site.
