Grey's Vagina

Grey's Anatomy was good last night.


There, I said it.


Normally, I tend to be overly elitist in my pop culture preferences. But with this show, my resistance to watching it isn't because of any assumption that its crappy TV. Its because I can guarantee how the pitch for the show went to the ABC execs in Hollywood:

"Ok, Ok, you ready for this? Ally McBeal meets ER! GOLD! Why has no one thought of this before? I don't know! But we can go ahead and start printing our own money, because we're rich!! Rich, rich, I tell ye!"


Ok, maybe not the printing the money part, but I will put mass amounts of money down against anyone who disputes a claim that "Ally meets ER" wasn't the main focus of the pitch.

In a world of sequels and Hollywood running out of ideas, I couldn't support any show that repackages a previous success in a shiny new wrapper and expects us to gobble it down.

So admitting last night's show was good...very difficult. But there you have it.
