ABC Picks Up Grey's Anatomy Source: ABC
May 4, 2005
Grey's Anatomy, the new hit midseason drama, has been added to the ABC Television Network's growing list of early pick-ups for the 2005-06 season, the network announced today.
Ranking a dominant No. 1 in its time period, Grey's Anatomy leads its closest competition by 7.2 million viewers (17.8 million vs. 10.6 million - CBS) and beats the combined delivery of CBS and NBC by 22% among Adults 18-49 (7.7/19 vs. 6.3/15). Along with delivering ABC's best audience retention yet coming out of Desperate Housewives, the new show is also producing ABC's strongest series performance in the hour in more than four years. Grey's Anatomy qualifies as the most-watched new midseason drama on all of television in 12 years (since CBS' Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman in 1993) and in 13 years among Adults 18-49 (since ABC's Indiana Jones Chronicles in 1992).
Grey's Anatomy stars Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, Patrick Dempsey as Derek Shepherd, Sandra Oh as Cristina Yang, Isaiah Washington as Preston Burke, Katherine Heigl as Isobel "Izzie" Stevens, Justin Chambers as Alex Karev, T.R. Knight as George O'Malley, Chandra Wilson as Miranda Bailey and James Pickens, Jr. as Richard Webber.
Shonda Rhimes is creator and executive producer of the series. Mark Gordon, Betsy Beers and Jim Parriott are executive producers. Peter Horton is co-executive producer. Grey's Anatomy is a Touchstone Television Production.
As previously announced, already renewed for next season are According to Jim, Alias, America's Funniest Home Videos, Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Lost.

Anybody still watching this? ABC's Super Bowl ploy worked perfectly--I watched my very first episode after the Super Bowl and then around 11:00 last night I realized I missed the next episode...GRRRR!! Anyway, their website has a 3:44 synopsis of the episode, so I know what happened, but man am I mad I missed it.
Man I should jump on this Grey's Anatomy background.
I hear it's like the old school ER - great storylines and characterization...

Oh yeah, it's a great show, last night's was awesome!

I can't believe I missed it! I had set up my dvr to record it the week before, but because of the superbowl & it starting late, I got "The Game" recorded instead...
32--definitely start watching--one show and I was hooked on the characters (doesn't hurt that I like Patrick Dempsey a TON!)
I have a question, but it might be a spoiler if you havent seen the last ep. yet.
Did the bomb squad guy die?
Thanks for being careful about the spoiler....I saw ABC's synopsis of the show, and my guess would be he HAD to. All the king's horses & all the king's men couldn't put that mess back together again!
