I’ve been thinking a lot about Grey’s Anatomy lately. That show,…

I just got that old feeling. You know, that big bold gaspy kind of Grey’s Anatomy love you remember from back when you loved Grey’s Anatomy? That swoony thing, that teary thing, that FUN thing that the show hasn’t made your heart do in longer than your loyalty complex will allow you to admit. But […]

Can you ever really love something after feeling betrayed by it? That’s the big question I have for my obviously privileged life: I feel betrayed by a television show. It’s been two seasons since the beloved Dr. Derek Shepherd died in an ironic fashion – a head injury only he could heal. Which, if I’m […]

Last night Grey’s Anatomy aired the episode that, a decade ago, would have signalled the end of the series. Certainly, the next episode will be the first since the pilot that feels nothing like the series as it was founded- the fun, flirty tone that made the show a hit is long gone and much […]
Even after 10 seasons, Grey’s Anatomy continues to remind me of why it deserves to stay on television. The writers have an amazing way of creating character centric episodes that don’t seem forced upon. They also have a really great way of introducing new characters and suddenly making you fall in love with them in […]

When I started watching Grey’s Anatomy and became downright obsessed in season 2, I remember worrying that the show would fall into the ER trap of constantly rotating their cast members. I always thought ER was a crappy show because every time I tuned in, I had to familiarize myself with new characters. Not surprisingly, […]

For weeks (many weeks) leading up to last night’s season 10 finale of Grey’s Anatomy, the ABC promo department has been drilling it into our brains: “it’s Grey’s Anatomy, Farewell to Cristina!!!!!!!!!”. This was an important one- the first original intern to leave since Izzie (season 6), and the departure of Sandra Oh who was […]

When an actor leaves a long-running TV series before its natural conclusion, it’s generally not a good thing. Sure, there are some series so long-lived that turnover is not only inevitable but necessary (while it’s key that Grey’s Anatomy has held on to McDreamy, where would we be if George never left and Jackson never […]

Mid-season finale time is probably the best time for television; the show ends explosively, but the viewers need not wait four long, agonizing months to find out what happened. We only need to wait one or two long, agonizing months! Grey’s Anatomy is known for being great at finales. Remember when Mer stuck her hand […]

I have always been a staunch defender of the bitchy, take no prisoners lifestyle that Dr. Christina Yang lives by, but her attitude as of late has left me less than impressed with my favourite Grey’s gal. I understand where the dissolution of a friendship like the twisted sisters is coming from a business standpoint […]

I’m curious, does anyone know where I could get an application to become Derek Shepherd’s wife? I’ll even settle for Patrick Dempsey, so long as he’s as incredible a husband as his doctor counterpart. In the most recent episode of Grey’s, “Map of You” the most attractive doctors on television made progressive relationship moves. Alex, […]

Last week, I wrote that Grey’s Anatomy was really straddling the line between primetime drama and daytime soap opera, and that description couldn’t be any more fitting than when the first victim of the day (a woman with a shattered baseball bat in her chest) tells Dr. Murphy she cheated on her husband with her […]

There are times when I watch Grey’s Anatomy and wonder if the writers know how dramatic they are being. I would assume so, since they are writing a drama, but their premieres and finales are consistently bordering on soap opera status. The season ten premiere is no different. When they begin the episode, not only […]

Grey’s Anatomy‘s 9th season so far has been, um, let’s go with evocative. Like earlier seasons, the 9th has struggled with some melodrama, quite a few jokes that didn’t land, and a general lack of subtlety (this isn’t Parenthood, people, I don’t know what else you were expecting). But damn if there aren’t two things […]

As many of you already know, Disney Canada has been nice enough this year to give us some extra copies of some of ABC’s most engrossing 2011-2012 shows on DVD and Blu-ray to share with you amazing readers. You’ve already had the opportunity to win Revenge Season One on DVD by answering “what’s your favourite serialized show?” then […]

Some of the most notable character deaths in television came as a surprise. Great writers know how to rip apart your heart by taking away a beloved character without any warning (Tara on Buffy, Nate on Six Feet Under, almost everyone of Lost…the list goes on and on). I’ve always been more a fan of […]

Thursday has always been a great night of TV. It’s the night on which NBC has been offering up the greatest sitcoms in history decade after decade (even if you’re a misguided Friends-hated hipster, you can’t argue with Seinfeld); it’s the night that played home to the game-changing Survivor and juggernaut Idol for years; Thursday […]

Rachael’s already talked about the phenomenal Valentine’s Day episodes from New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, Up All Night and (my personal favourite) The Middle. But the schmoopiest holiday seemed to reach every show on the air this year, so I thought I’d add a few to the list: E) Glee. It’s been weeks since […]

Most people gave up on Grey’s Anatomy years ago. Every single one of them was wrong to do so. The Shonda Rhimes medical drama has gotten better and better since the epic slump of seasons 4 and 5 to become the well-paced, consistently engaging, excellently cast tragicomedy it is today. While the drama is still […]

Sometimes it’s fun when your favorite TV star pops up in a movie (I know I got a little thrill every time I heard the erst-while Chuck’s voice coming out of Flynn Ryder’s mouth in last year’s Disney offering Tangled). And sometimes you find yourself wondering, “Why is McDreamy being so mean to Shia LaBeouf?” […]

The holiday movie rush has produced some truly excellent and some disappointing fare. But one thing has remained true: TV stars are really bringing it to the big screen this season. Click on the movie titles to read reviews from our sister site My Cinema. First there’s the rush of TV faces who play a […]

I realize I have fallen behind on the many many things happening in the TV world right now. It’s finale time, which means it’s My TV Season Wrap-Up time so my plate is quite full of writing to be done. In the mean time, in case you haven’t been following @MyEntWorld on twitter (which you […]

That man. The one who put me on edge for 2 straight hours tonight. The guy, with the mustache and the barely human instincts. That person who threatened the life of so many characters I care about, filled the screen with cold hatred and spilled more blood than I’d seen in entire seasons of Grey’s […]

It’s official. After weeks of rumors, Katherine Heigl has announced her departure from Grey’s Anatomy. Katherine is the third original cast member to leave the series thus far and her departure is receiving mixed reviews. The biggest downside is the inevitable divorce between Heigl’s Izzy and the heartbroken Alex (Justin Chambers). Alex and Izzie have […]

I love it when Grey’s Anatomy is good. In a week when Private Practice made me want to tear my hair out, Grey’s Anatomy made me smile. Let’s start with Karev. I always liked Izzie so I’ve spent 6 seasons rooting for her to be with my favourite character, Alex. But in the past year […]

A ton of great guest stars (including the erstwhile Harold Abbott, Ellis Grey and Andy McPhee) couldn’t distract from the many MANY problems that plagued The Deep End‘s first episode. Then again, Grey’s Anatomy‘s first couple episodes were next to unwatchable in my opinion and it turned into a monster hit (and, at times, a […]
