I have been looking forward to the season premiere all summer......
I agree that it was not the best season premiere but the last 5 minutes left with some hope. I am a very big fan of MerDer, even though they are technically broken up, I was screaming at my TV saying kiss her! and I was so happy when he did!
The Lexie character will have to grow on me ... I am still gonna give the show a chance, I have no choice, cause I am addicted.
After watching the first 10 minutes of Private Practice I changed channels and watched the Bionic Woman - which I will watch again! I hope that Private Practice doesn't last (sorry), allowing Addison to return to SGH, where she belongs!!!!

Boy, I'm glad I found you guys. The blog on ABC.com is mostly people who just LOVED the season opener, and I thought it had a lot to be desired. Glad to know I'm not the only one who felt like it didn't have the usual Grey's power & excitement.
I do really miss Burke.

Well its official, I miss Burke already and forever, he was what was missing from the premiere. Its going to be hard to replace him and Christina for me, they had such great chemistry and they are both great actors. I think it was really noticable that Burke and Addison were gone, but I'm going to keep watching, there is no way we can solve all the problems from season three in the premiere, don't jump ship yet everyone! I think it will get better, and I think its going to be interesting to see Callie redeem herself with George and her job, we will see the claws come out! I don't think Meredith should have been so stuck up to her sister, that was dumb, she acted so stuck up at the end. Hope that ends.

Very disappointing opening. I will give it another episode, but will give up if there is no improvement. The dialog was amateurish.

GA is addictive and I will watch it faithfully. That said, the season premiere lacked the thrill I usually get from the show.
The teams of interns under the new residents dilute the story line and interfere with the interactions among the stars.
Regardless of Isaih Washington's obtuse behavior, he was a fabulous character and it is less of a show without him. Performance is more important than personality. We all have to work with people who are obnoxious. Why should the GA team be any different than the rest of the world?
Was there anything more electrifying than he and Christina interacting? What a loss!
Re: New interns - Meredith's sister leaves me cold. The attraction between she and McDreamy is too contrived. Very amateur soap opera-ish.
George and Izzy - Let's not overdo it.
Callie ought to get written out of the script. She is a deepwell of disappointment - Disappointment when george marries her, Disappointment when she wants to have a baby, disappo

Well said, Kathy and Claire.
Shonda, we all told you so. Maybe you should have listened, instead of sitting on your high horse.

This cannot be a surprise. We all saw it coming. During the summer, Grey's Anatomy (normally a winner in rerun ratings, was at times ranked third behind FOX all summer) in ratings. Fans got in to both the Office and CSI. Critics kept saying, there is something else to return to this fall because of what GA delivered in it's third seaon (which wasn't all that good) that fans now were investing in other television and would make that move. Some wanted to say people would watch GA no matter what, but long time GA fans KNEW; deliver low quality and even the die hard GA fans had every right to move on to better...and that's what nearly five million did. The sent a message to Shonda Rhimes. Let's hope she's listening.
And even though the show still did very well, the amount of viewers who left was VERY significant. What CSI ended up giving people with it's season opener was not only loved by fans but critics were highly impressed (where critics were mixed on GA's Season Four Preme

Last year, I counted down the days until the premiere. This year, I counted down the days until The Office premiere. Then, I watched Grey's online the next day.
That is to say, I haven't given up, but I came close. Shonda grossly miscalculated last year, and this year is going to have to resemble Season 1 and the early part of Season 2 to get me to watch it live on Thursdays.

I enjoy watching Grey's but that epsiode of CSI was really good. I'll admit that even I was watching it and Grey's.(I was doing like the some major channel flipping).

I think it's because they fired Burke (Isaiah Washington) and let Addison go. Season 4 would be so much better with them.

I read about the reviews yesterday and was disappointed. But, I realized with everything that happened last year and then the SO SAD finale of season 3 that it was probably going to take a few episodes for GA to get back to where they were a year ago. I really hope that the fans just stick with the show and give Shonda a chance to bring GA back to where it use to be. I think Shonda realizes the impact that season 3 made to the fans and that GA may have lost some viewers. But, I think this season will be different. I wonder if Shonda truly realized that GA was a show that really sucked everybody in from the beginning and we were all hooked from the first episode. We are all truly vested into all the characters and when season 3 came along and she decided to take most of the characters in a different direction, it was way too much to handle for the viewers because this is GA and yes there is drama and yes people die, but it truly was TOO depressing and made us the viewers feel we
