So, I watched Grey’s Anatomy last night, for the following reasons:

* It takes place in Seattle.
* Patrick Dempsey’s in the show and I’ve had a crush on him since Can’t Buy Me Love.
* I like Sandra Oh.

I will not watch Grey’s Anatomy again for the following reasons:

* Dr. Grey is annoyingly neurotic and introspective and downright scary. I wouldn’t ever want Ally McBeal to operate on me, and you shouldn’t either. And…producer guys…don’t try to guilt me into liking her just because her SuperSurgeon Mom is now mentally incapacitated.
* Too many shots of the Space Needle. We get it. You’re in Seattle. It also looks like the Seattle Public Library is supposed to be Seattle Grace Hospital.
* Why are surgical interns assigned to non-surgical patients?
* Didn’t anyone think to do an MRI on the teen beauty queen when she was brought in instead of, oh I don’t know, after she had another seizure? Did it really take a couple of attendings, a few residents and fifteen interns to crack that case?
* Bad-ass surgical residents began and ended with Dr. Peter Benton. End of story.
* George O’Malley was John Travolta’s character in Phenomenon. I can’t look at Doctor George O’Malley without thinking of, well, John Travolta.
* I didn’t think Seattleites had casual, no-strings-attached sex with people they picked up in bars. I thought they only had serious, socially conscious sex using condoms made from environmentally friendly products such as maple leaves and tree sap.
* It was bright and sunny when Dr. GreyMcBeal completed her 48-hour shift, but pouring down rain when she got home, we estimate, about twenty minutes later. Rarely do sun and rain intersect but of course, if it does, you know it’ll happen to Dr. GreyMcBeal.
* Not a single person was carrying around a cup of coffee that looks like it was purchased at Starbucks, Tully’s or Seattle’s Best Coffee.
* No sign of Dr. Frasier Crane.
