I didnt say the ratings were down because of Gizzie. I said Gizzie was not solely responsible for the ratings being down. I told you it was thanksgiving (that was the episode after Gizzie was over). The ratings went down because nobody was bother to tune in to see anything on Thanksgiving. 2 weeks later the ratings came up again and remained the same even 1 month later. Im just trying to prove that Gizzie was not the main reason.
Grey's anatomy is not about George and Izzie. Its about the fab 5 and Meredith. Obviously the ratings had to go down because the strike put the production on hold for like 3-4 months. They put too many reruns to fill the gap.. thats why people kind of gave up and chose to watch the episodes on ABC.com or wait for the DVDs. Lost used to be like this so they solved it by scheduling the premiere in January. All the ratings are down this year too including shows like CSI PvP DH UglyBetty Heroes. If you look at the statistics, you'll know that every show has g

You are all soooooooo boring with that Mark-Lexie adittude-she is like a child,he's like her father!They have more chemistry than George and Lexie,and their story line would be so much interesting than Callie/Mark or George/Lexie.Anyway,I think that episodes which are coming will have a good part reserved for Mark and Lexie.

I hate Alex and Izzie. Alex becomes this creepy cheesy guy when they are a couple. He seems so overly possessive in that sneak peek. Reminds me of season 2 when he followed Izzie around like a little puppy begging for her attention. God I hate that Alex. I don

OOooooooh, so many good news! Addie will be back! George and Izzie will be seen as friends again! And Denny will stay until FEBRUARY! Yaay, I think this is awesome! I love the Denny-Izzie-Alex story. In my opinion Izzie and Alex make a cute couple (and will be one eventually) but Denny is just perfect, the love of her life. I think it's great he's here and I am really curious where this is going and especially about the others' reactions when they find out Izzie had to deal with seeing her dead fiance's ghost all the time. Again: Thanks for the great news, what a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I don't think Gizzie ending are the sole reason for the ratings being down. A lot of people are just tired of the show for a lot of other reasons. That said, I think it does prove that Gizzie didn't bring the ratings down by being together like their haters claimed before they broke up though.
I still see some of them say they were disastrous for the ratings, which makes me laugh given the fact the episodes were they were together got 20 millions and now the show gets 15 million.
Shonda dropped them to brought the ratings up, everyone knows that, and thing is, it didn't work.
Bringing Denny back seem to do it though, although they are still not as good as they were in season 3.
You know, I just want the GI haters to admit that Gizzie together had no bad effect on ratings, and that in fact no single couple can have any strong effect on ratings.
They also need to admit Gizzie does have a big fanbase and not just haters.
I am just thrilled we are getting more scenes agai

Ypu are contradicting yourself here:
then we had to wait for like 2 more weeks for part 2, which scored 17.78 on 12/06/2007
Due to the strike, they couldnt make any new episodes so they had to keep new episodes for feb and may sweeps.
The new episode aired one month later on 1/10/2008 and scored around 17.5 mill viewers (so basically Gizzie was already over 2-3 eps ago and the ratings came up)
You say they went up there, no they went down, 17.5 is lower than 17.78, in case you didn't know
Episode 6 which was promoted as hot Gizzie sex had one of the highest ratings of the season too, and the ratings went down before the strike as you point out. They started going down on episode 8, where it was clear Gizzie would need. They weren't officially broken up, but many Gizzie fans quit after the tragic sex episode because we knew Shonda was going to stab us in the back.
Of course the season 4 finale ratings were higher. Premiere and finale always get higher numbers, duh!

I am sorry, I have an obsessive personality, but I just can´t get past the sex with a ghost thing.
I really love Addison. More than I though was possible, considering how she was introduced in the show. She was such a bitch then, and now she is so sweet... I love seeing her at Seattle Grace. I would like to say I want her back, but I also love Private Practice, and right now, that show is way better than GA... well, at least until Shonda starts haunting Oceanside Wellness Center or something... Can´t wait to have her back.
As to Mark and Lexie... I don´t see the allure there for Mark... I mean, yeah, he is a manwhore, but can´t he have sex with a grownup? Is he so desperate or has this ban Derek put on him what´s behind this "new interest" from his part? I think Lexie is fair game, she desperately wants companionship and is mad at George, so having sex with Mark would be some kind of revenge... twisted Grey logic: she may want to make George regret his treatment of her (now
November 27th, 2008 10:14 AM
Thanks for the age clarification... I remembered yesterday that Meredith was five when Thatcher left, so she should be at least 5 years older than Lexie, but considering that some time must have passed between him leaving and he marrying Susan, besides the fact that Lexie has an older sister, Lexie should be at least seven years younger than Meredith, so if Lexie is 24 on season 5 that means that Meredith is 31 or somewhere around that number...
What I would like is for Izzie to go to George for help, I mean, if you started having sex with a dead man, wouldn´t you try to get some help before it´s too late? And Izzie trusts george, cause george is reliable. he wouldn´t tell on her, maybe if he believed he was endangering someone else, but he would try to talk some sense into her, not go behind her back... Georege needs to come back, but first he needs to yell to those interns, he has to be his own person first.

you know what, Im really sick and tired of hearing about Gizzie fans being responsible for the ratings. Here I'll explain it to you with statistics so you people can get over this because you guys WERE ABSOLUTELY NOT responsible for the ratings. IT WAS THE STRIKE LAST YEAR!!!
The premiere of season 4 scored 21 mill viewers
then the ratings had been dropping ever since
then episode 5 Haunt You Everyday only scored Nielsen Live 16.44 mill viewers. It was one of the lowest ratings for Grey's Anatomy (btw Gizzie was still alive and sizzling)
Crash in to me part 1 aired on thanksgiving, so it only scored 14.6 mill viewers and i think Gizzie was completely over in this episode (and it was thanksgiving for gods sake! nobody tuned in on that special day)
then we had to wait for like 2 more weeks for part 2, which scored 17.78 on 12/06/2007
Due to the strike, they couldnt make any new episodes so they had to keep new episodes for feb and may sweeps.
The new episode aired one month later

I have to agree that I like Callie and Mark together. They just work better. Lexie looks like a little girl compared to Mark and I just don't buy it. Sure, now that it's forbidden, he's thinking about it, but ew anyway.
More Mer/Der since that's REALLY what make the show popular in the first place.
The ghost thing is really really dumb. I like JDM as an actor, but the story is SO over. Let it go already. Tons of people who lost actual spouses of many years cope better than Izzie. She fancied herself in love with a guy she never even went out with, kills him with stupidity and then not only keeps her medical license but whines on and on and on about how she lost him? Now she is having sex with a ghost? Oh come on! She needs to get it together. No way could she practice medicine being that much of a basket case.
Enough with the strange and forced plots... How many no chemistry couples do we have to have? Oh let's force everything that moves together whether it works or not. He
November 27th, 2008 3:54 AM
Ok...
I want Callie and Mark absolutely togheter...They have a great chemistry togheter...
And i don't like Mark with Lexie...They are too boring togheter..
Shonda please let Lexie with George and put, for the happiness of the fan, Callie with Mark...
Sto Izzie and Denny...it's now the momento for Izzie and Alex.
November 27th, 2008 12:13 AM
Yay for Gizzie sharing scenes again. I missed them. Alex and Izzie bore me to tears especially this new saint boring Alex.
EWWWWWWWWWWWW to mark and Lexie, she could be his kid, so gross.
Does Shonda know how many people are grossed out by Mark and Lexie?
November 26th, 2008 10:29 PM
So many fans wanted Denny back and were complaining that they wished he didn't die. So for those of you who said that... you got your damn wish.
November 26th, 2008 8:23 PM
Ok so they take Gizzie away from me, and now Gexie too, so they can put Lexie with a guiy who looks like his dad. What is wrong with Shonda, has she lost it?
At least my George and Izzie will have scenes again.

I completely agree with what Michael Ausiello and Megan had to say about Dr. Dixon (and btw, I have Asperger's Syndrome too). My thanks to Mr. Ausiello for including that in his report. Please stop misrepresenting us, GA writers! (We're people too, not robots.) Oh, and "McSeriously Obsested", she's NOT crazy!
November 26th, 2008 7:09 PM
Mark & Lexie: Ew ew ew! Shonda totally ruined my Gexie dreams...
And I'm not even talking about Izzie and Denny's Ghost Whisperer in Seattle.
I'm so not watching this show anymore...
November 26th, 2008 6:15 PM
This is not the first time someone asked about George. Matt Rousch also gave the same characters have front burner time and back burner time answer and he mentioned people being furious over his lack of airtime so my guess is he got a whole lot of letters on it.
I don't think it is a good excuse. I watch for George. It is the one reason I didn't quit when they ended Gizzie, which was far from a disaster.
I am thrilled we might be getting GI scenes again, I miss them.
As for Mark and Lexie, it looks like a dad making out with his kid, super gross.
November 26th, 2008 6:13 PM
OK if Gizzie was such a disaster how come the ratings were so much better when they were together, how come the ratings have been falling since they ended (and only went back up a small buit when Denny came bnack)and how come so many people quit the show because they watched only for them.
Also how come we keep gaining new Gizzie fans months after they ended?
My guess is Alex and Izzie are the disaster of major epic proportions. So many people quit because of them and the ratings were terrible. Like I said, they had to bring a dead guy to bring them up a bit.
People clearly don,t like AI despite their ever vocal fans.
Lexie and Mark are so gross together, she looks 12 and he looks 40. I am not as big a Gexie fan as a Gizzie one, but she looks more mature with him.
And eyah please more George.
November 26th, 2008 4:31 PM
ok...if they fired people every time a few fans didn't like a couple...there wouldn't be any characters on this show to write about!! y didn't they just break up callie and erica? they do that to couples all the time! they didn't get rid of george and izzie they just let the relationship fizzle out...

yes Helen you agree with me!!!!!! finally someone has some sense!!!

THIS DENNY AND IZZY THING HAS BECOME TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!!!
IZZY HAS TOO MUCH TIME ON THE SHOW.
WHERE IS MERDER THAT REPRESENT GREY'S AFTER ALL???
November 26th, 2008 1:48 PM
I love greys, watched it from the beginning in England, have to watch it online as we are so behind in the UK.
I will watch greys no matter what I think, I have no problem with the Denny storyline because they know they should'nt have killed him off. BIG MISTAKE "Jeff, you should have tried harder to convince them to keep you!!" Anyway now he is back I am happy for him to stay forever ha ha...
In reality though I have concerns for those who dont want this to be a supernatural cross over. This is a drama about relationships in a hospital, not with ghosts...
So Shonda write a denny duqette story, who is he, where did he come from, where did he get all that money from etc, trust me there would be plenty of viewers... give him the life he once had... he deserves it.
November 26th, 2008 1:33 PM
Geez how come some people can't just watch a show, enjoy some and hate some but just continue to watch it to see where it goes? All I read here is "if Shonda does this or doesn't do that it's bye bye Greys" seems kinda childish. I mean I have preferences towards the coupling etc on the show but if it's now the way I wanted it to go that doens't mean I'm gonna stop watching. There's always something interesting going on right? Plus there are still nuff people still watching so she must be doing something right, lol
Anyway, that to the side, I personally LOVE the Izzie Denny thing. Have no friggin' clue where it's going but I loved Denny from the first moment he set foot in Seattle Grace and I still love the chemistry between Izzie and him. Wherever it may go with them it's just been great to see them together again for a while even if it's somewhat weird.
LOVE Owentina too btw. Furthermore I'm just gonna go keep on watching the show and let it surprise me, afterall it's a nice es
