Whenever I'm at the gym on Thursday, this show is always on. Why does everyone love this show so much? It belongs on daytime television because it's merely a soap opera, with docs. I don't mind shows that give an unrealistic depiction of medicine, otherwise I wouldn't enjoy Scrubs. It's just that each and every character is superficial and, worst of all, annoying. Basically, this hospital is a high school. Nothing but cliques, gossip, and drama, especially of the latter. The cast is nice to look at, and that's the only plus. Even then, it's a given that a show on primetime will be full of good-looking people so that isn't much of a positive, imo.
Also, this show is just chock FULL of ridiculous moments. In one episode I watched while on the treadmill (I run for 45 minutes so I watched almost all of the show), katharine heigl was treating a deer. Yes, a fucking deer. Let me describe how cheesy this scene was. A dad runs over a deer in the woods. His little boy beckons his dad to bring the deer to this hospital (which is in the middle of downtown Seattle). Katharine Heigl is lo and behold the only available doc and has a group of interns around her. She explains to this guy's 5 year old son, "Honey, this is a people's hospital". The kid goes on and on whining. And guess what, Heigl relents and starts hooking up an IV to the deer and administering heparin. And then she asks interns to fetch her ECG leads and the shocker thingies. 1....2....3....CLEAR! And then magically the deer arises. During this whole segment, the deer is laughably fake looking. It's obviously an animatronic. This is the number one show in America, let me reiterate.
God.... it seems that the writers of Grey's Anatomy and the Bush administration have a corner on sheer idiocy in this country.
