I don't watch Grey's Anatomy. I have never watched Grey's Anatomy. I will probably never watch Grey's Anatomy, unless something insane happens like Jason Schwartzman joins the cast or Aaron Sorkin starts writing for it or something. But let's face it, that is never going to happen, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that I will never watch Grey's Anatomy.
Jennie, however, watches it, and she tells me all sorts of interesting things about it. Like how one of the main characters is currently sleeping with the ghost of her dead lover. And how a group of interns decided that it would be fun to perform surgery on each other. And there are other ridiculous things (didn't someone have to have a poop transplant?) that I either can't remember or have just erased from my memory because they were taking up valuable space that I could otherwise devote to comic book or movie trivia.
All of this said, I find it interesting that so many people who are on the show don't like it. Katherine Heigl, for one, doesn't seem to enjoy it. Or at least, she didn't six months ago. And now T.R. Knight is quitting because apparently he doesn't like it, either. It's one thing for someone to say, 'I feel like it's time to move on' or 'I've had a good run on this show but I want to explore other opportunities,' but when two of the principal actors on the show, completely separately from each other, to say, 'Nah, y'know, I don't like what the writers are doing for me,' I think that really says something about the show. Or at least about the writers on the show. Also, if the people on the show don't like it, then that pretty much affirms that I will never watch Grey's Anatomy.
To be fair, the show does really suck donkey balls right now, but it goes through phases of being sort of good. Mostly I watch it so I can make fun of it and tell people about when they do poop transplants. Also, sometimes there's nothing else to do but watch crappy TV.
