good show about doctors, some of the patint stuff is kind of graphic, several scenes in bars, it is not strong on sexual content but does show some stuff.

What Parents Need to Know
About Grey's Anatomy
Parents need to know that this addictive primetime drama is meant for an adult audience and has many adult themes, including sexual relationships among most of the show's characters. For adults who like medical soap operas, it's an excellent choice; just make sure the kids are asleep first.

Love it! Give it a go.
I love this show! I'm hooked. Although many parents seem to have concerns about the sexual content, drinking or drug references and some coarse language, personally I don't think it's inappropriate. There is very little coarse language, the sexual references would fly over your head if you didn't understand, and drinking does not play a major role in the show. I've learnt a lot from this show, as they talk about medical conditions, and then I search them up or talk to someone who is in the medical field.

Life nor relationships can be defined in simply black or white, true life comes only in shades of Grey.
This show has everything, the drama, the suspense, and anyother positive word that you could possibly give. Of course, there is sexually natured doctors in here and for someone that I read, it does happen. Doctors are not Gods, they act like this. Doctor's drink, have sex, and sneak around like anyother person might do. The show has very realistic cuts and everything. The show has a role model for everyone, I think that the person that everyone could relate to, even men is Izzie. Christina also, they noth have troubles that you would not expect but that are real. This show has the best storylines and is down to earth. Everything that happens in this show is realistic and could happen to anyone.

I ? this show!
I am 11 and I don't think its that horribly innapropriate, but of course most kids whose parents actually go on this site wouldn't let them watch it, but I love it. I think it's a good show that both me and my mom can enjoy together.
