Grey's Anatomy

Grey's Anatomy shows every Monday night, at 11pm on Channel 5.

And I will not go to bed until the final moment of the show. I stay put even for the adverts because I want to make sure I do not miss a single moment of the show.

As you should all be able to tell by now, all you clever folks, Grey's Anatomy is my favouritest show in the whole wide world! And do I dare say, of all time?

I mean, what's not to love? Besides of having the crucial ingredients for any drama, which is having good-looking men and good-looking women, it's also funny, sensitive, touching, and intelligent and actually has a credible story-line and plot. What more can I ask for?

And the most amazing thing is, after every single episode of the show, I come away from it, feeling a little bit more and thinking a little bit more. I mean, that is an amazing feat in itself, a show that is able to make its viewers not just feel, but think as well. That, in itself, seems very much like a contradiction even. So far, my other favourite shows have never even come closed to accomplishing this.

Right now, I'm intrigued by Meredith and Dr Shepherd's relationship. They are some of the best-looking people that I've seen in my life. Well, to put into perspective my sentiments towards these two people - Meredith is what I will want to look like, perhaps slightly younger, if I opted to go for plastic surgery; and Dr Shepherd is someone with whom I wouldn't mind having an affair with, if I wanted to have an affair that is.

But seriously, I really wonder how they do it. How do 2 people who are so in love with each other, manage to be co-workers, and to endure seeing each other, day in day out everyday, like they do? How does the wife manage to keep her sanity being in the same place as her husband's mistress, and knowing that the one he loves is not herself?

I may not not agree totally with the morals portrayed in this show (but that is a separate topic of discussion in itself!), but how I do feel for Meredith, for her love-lorness and her quiet but desperate longing for the man she loves.

In fact, I can almost feel how much she aches, and how with every beat of her heart, that longing and desperation is pumped through her blood vessels to every cell of her body. Until her eyes, her body-language, her eveything spells out and emanates that quiet ache and unhappiness. It's just so... real.

And I guess that's what makes Grey's Anatomy a great show.
