Maybe it is Time to Reconsider Grey's Anatomy

Everyone seems to love Grey's Anatomy. I guess as far as TV shows go, it isn't that bad, but it isn't great either. While the show does beat almost anything on the WB or UPN with the obvious exception of Beauty and the Geek, the show's writer have alienated their target audience of people who regularly watch Can't Buy Me Love. The easy solution is to hire me to right the wrong and restore balance to the universe. Here are some examples:

The most obvious mistake the writer's have made is trying to convince the world that Ronald Miller somehow gave up lawn mowing, went to medical school, DIDN'T have a long-term, committed relationship with Cindi Mancini, and changed his name to Derek Shepherd. Obviously the writers would prefer that a generation of American's forget that Can't Buy Me Love changed the way nerdy guys were treated in high school. Ronald had a slow, one-man clap turn into a school-wide standing ovation. Come on, writers, why would he give that up for a medical career in Seattle? He wouldn't.

Another mistake is casting Ellen Pompeo as Dr. Grey. Not that she is a bad actress or anything, she just can't speak. Ellen has a problem with her S's. Not quite as bad as Drew Berrymore ("And that's what I call kicking your atheths" - from Charlie's Angels), but still a little annoying. I guess the solution to this problem is more shower scenes and less talking. Funny how that is always the answer. Oh, and her name shouldn't be Meredith. That name sucks.

Finally, this past week's episode was especially disturbing. First of all, when Dr. Yang and Dr. Burke were "dancing" why weren't they doing Ronald's African Anteater Ritual dance? Come on, everyone knows that even if Ronald did change his name and so on, he still would be teaching the dance to people. Remember, Ronald has been the subject of the spontaneous one-man-to-whole-school standing ovation. You don't forget something like that.

If that were the only issue in last week's episode, I would let it slide. Unfortunately, there was one more glaring mistake. Apparently the writers are already running out of ideas because this past week all they did was bring Rocky Dennis back from dead and try to fix his face. Besides, isn't there already a cast member who really has cranial dysplasia? That isn't nice, writers.

The writers need to do a better job of remembering that the people who star on the show are real people. They were nerds in high school. They know awesome dances. They have debilitating illnesses.
