This show is NOT realistic, but what TV is today, anyway? Plus, I get queasy easily, so this show is a good replacement for "ER". I can't even describe how good it is! The drama and comedy tied together (with Grey's narration on life) shows people what life is today (or how it shouldn't be). It's surface in some parts, but deep in others. It'll make you laugh and cry...maybe at the same time! Just watch and you'll see. I watch so much of it that I can't get The Fray's "How to Save a Life" out of my head! Hey, I'm a big "CSI" fan, but this show is so good that I've watched "Grey's Anatomy" instead, which is on at the EXACT same time...
