We love medical dramas, but this one trope is so overused it’s boring instead of exciting, and the genre needs to stop using it.
Grey’s Anatomy debuted as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal in 2005, and became a bona fide success after just nine episodes.

Grey’s Anatomy is created by Shonda Rhimes. Its diverse and talented cast stars Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh, Chandra Wilson, Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight, Justin Chambers, James Pickens, Jr., Brooke Smith, Eric Dane, Sara Ramirez and Chyler Leigh.
Former stars include Isaiah Washington (fired) and Kate Walsh (left for spin-off Private Practice).
