    I rate this title iffy for age 14 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    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.

    BEST SHOW

    This is personally my favorite show (I am 23). I don't think a 15 yr old should be watching it though. (as rated).... def. more for adults.

    Cover's All The Social Issues

    Love this show. It's so awesome and a true representation of so many social issues going on. This site lists the show as being on after "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday nights but it's actually on Thursday nights after "Ugly Betty".

    Love it!!!

    I feel that this is one of the best shows since I was little! I am a 34 year-old, and I sometimes sit down with my ten-year-old and watch this amazing show. She loves it so much, and I'm glad that people can make shows that are appropriate for youngsters and adults. It deserves five stars!!!!!

    Best Show Ever!!!!

    I started watching this show with the very first episode and have been hooked ever since. I can't wait for Thursdays to come so I can see it. It has alot of different issues. There is a gay couple who run the bar across the street from the hospital. There is a lot of sexual stories, words, etc...you never see anyone have sex though. Great show!

    A REASON TO LOVE THURSDAYS!

    After the stress of a long week there is nothing better then to unwind Thursday night and enjoy a drama packed new episode of Grey's Anatomy with the family. My husband, 8 year old daughter, and I have become hooked on this show and reserve a special part of the day each Thursday to sit down ans watch it!

    AMAZING but if you want your child to watch watch with them!

    I feel that the teenage population is getting more and more mature and I beleive that parents can decide if their children can handle this. If I were a child of 13 and watching this I would take in the mesage that drinking was bad, because you end up in bed with people you dont even know the name of. This show is engrossing and amazing, very touching. This is an amazing show which sadly is the highlight of my week even if it is a repeat i still want to see it. When your favorite character cries you feel like crying too. This pulls out emotions and watching it with someone you love can bring you closer. I know that on thursday night i invite my friends over and we order pizza and watch Grey's anatomy. This helps keep us together. Grey's Anatomy is the most amazing show ever.

    this show is great but iffy for tweens(11-12)

    i think greys anatomy is a great fun show. it is sexual though so i wouldn't be allowing 10 and 12 year old to be watching it but 13 and 14 years olds should be fine wathing if you know them. for anyone older than that the show should be fine.

    An addicting primtime drama thats fun for teenager and parents

    Grey's anatomy is the one show i look forward to watching each week. It will have to be something really big to keep me from watching. grey's anatomy did feature some innappropriate material in the past but now in the third season they have gotten better. Nothing graphic was shown however, mabe making out but that's about the farthest they go. If your kid is squemish or easily frightened by blood, i do not reccomend this show. I look beyond the equivocal material and just enjoy the show for the funny and talented people in it.

    Only show I watch regularly!

    I watch this with my (mature) daughters, one 13 and one almost 16. I still squirm at times in terms of my 13 year old watching some parts, however, realistically she is already aware of many of the situations. I try not to miss any opportunity to express my opinion about a character or plot if I feel it needs to be said. Believe me, they don't want to admit it, but we parents still have influence!

    I love it

    I think that anyone over 14 can watch if they uderstand that some things like sexual contact, drugs, and alcohol are wrong. And if you have a kid that knows when to change the channel thats even better.

    Sex without protection by medical professionals??!!!

    The only reason I rated this show for ok for aged 17 is because we're not given a choice to rate it adults only!! I think that should be a choice, especially for this show. I certainly hope that real life interns and drs. don't act the way they're portrayed here---having one night stands, sex with multiple partners, sex with subordinates (which would be sexual harrassment in the real world), and sex with no protection! Doctors??!!!! I think not!! This show sends the message that even health professionals think that parents are dorks if they believe in monogomous relationships with protection. My husband and I watched the preview and haven't watched since. It's off limits in our house.

    best tv show

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Amazing; Inappropriate

    Personally, I love this show. Yes, it is inappropriate but honestly your kids know more than you think. Times have changed and the society around us has grown more inappropriate. If your kids go to dances, they probably dance rather sexually with boys. Don't get angry! It is not very sexual nor inappropriate. The most popular dance is known as grinding. But let me tell you they don't do the real thing, not even close. The grinding they do is not too sexual. But don't cut your child off from this show because it is too inappropriate. If they deny it, chances are they have seen worse and already know about worse. Besides this show is too good to miss! :]

    good show

    there is some sex but its not a focal point of the show. most shows now a days involve sex as a minor plot to interest people sadly. Doctors have to make big desicions and have to show good morals. sometimes. I recomend.

    It was great...

    I used to love Grey's Anatomy, but then it became adulterous sex. There are some consequences, but not enough to make an impact. The characters turned weak and it turned more into a soap opera than I could handle. Watch the second season, but beyond that it's not really worth it anymore. It just becomes a soap opera. And not worth my time.

    A must for teenagers!

    Very good show. Touches on issues. The relationships are mainly about sex at first but some of them develop into something else. Not really any violence. Not much language. can be a bit dramatic. Everyone in my grade has watched it since 6th grade.

    Best TV Show EVER!

    This is my all-time favorite TV show! I'd say its OK for other kids my age. I don't watch TV shows or movies with either of my parents, so I wouldn't reccomend that. I don't even understand the point of watching things with a parent. This show keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole season long. I hate having to wait ALL SUMMER LONG to see new Grey's, since it ends in the spring/early summer, and doesn't start the new season until the fall. The acting is fantastic, and the cast and show have won so many awards! Love the show!

    Yeahh. I love Grey's.

    At first, my parents said absolutely not to watching this show. Then they said it was okay if I watched it with them. In my opinion this show is fine for kids 12 and older. Their are sme plot lines about sex.hookups.some blood etc. but I mean kids hear stuff like that at their own school. I think this show is amazing and that it is a great learning experience for kids ages 12 and up [:

    The Best Show

    This show is my favorite. For the kids out there is definatly a good learning experience for you. Some of the things that may be inappropriate for children ages 10 and under are sex, seeing replicas of blood, surgerys, actual medical probloms. Going to bars, getting drunk. There is no drug use in any of the charecters but there is in some patients. There is some midly fowl language like "ass" or "dammit" nothing for then that. All together though it is a great way to learn because all of the cases are based on actual people. It is highly addicting and a wonderful cast. Always lots of drama. Wonderful all round.

    I love this show... but i have to wathch it with my mom. I'm 11 and it's only ok for my age. Older is probaly better. I would reccomend 10-11 with a parent and anyone older by themselves. In my opinion it's a good show to watch with the family anyway!
