The 2005-2006 season’s smash hit Grey’s Anatomy swiftly eclipsed its Desperate Housewives lead-in, in ratings, in critical claim and in vocal viewer enthusiasm. What could have been just another hospital drama is elevated by sharp, clever writing, strong female characters and a stellar ensemble cast of multi-ethnic actors. With 20+ million viewers tuning in every week, Grey’s Anatomy was the new must-see television show of the year. From lighthearted relationship speculations to analyses of deeper themes, Grey’s Anatomy 101 gives new perspectives on all facets of the series. If Addison hadn’t showed up, would Meredith and Derek have stayed together? How is Grey’s Anatomy the first real 21st century show? Why is everything in Grey’s Anatomy so, well, gray? And what would Nietzsche have to say about George O’Malley? The writers in Grey’s Anatomy 101 give fans more of their favorite television show, delivering writing as smart, as funny, and as earnest as the show they love.

Greys Anatomy 101: Seattle Grace, Unauthorized Reviews

    An interesting collection of essays regarding earlier season of Grey's Anatomy. I found some of the arguments interesting and a few eye rolling.

    This is the first collection of work regarding a show that I have read and it was nice seeing other people's perspectives. I particularly like the discussion regarding the cast as a pack of wolves and how they would be ranked if they were werewolves.

    Overall, decent read. Probably not something I would reread, but glad I read in the first place.

    Happy Reading!

    I already love to watch Grey's Anatomy, but reading these essays just made me love it even more. I love that I'm not the only one who thinks about how they show the "gray area" and that not everything is black or white; I love that other people see how lovely it is that Addison isn't just a villian, or that Alex isn't just a jerk and that the writers made them that way; I love that people get Bailey and how awesome she is; and I just want to rewatch the show more after reading. Wonderful! :)

    If you pick this up, you might want to have watched at least the first season of Grey's Anatomy. Though, I don't think you'd be looking at this, if you hadn't - unless you've somehow confused this with the medical textbook - spelled Gray's Anatomy - in which case you now know what to search for. I picked this up when Grey's was still one of my favorite series' - before I saw the fourth season and it started spiraling down to ever more hitherto undreamed-of lows. Thankfully, this book was published in 2007 where these lows really were yet undreamed-of, and we can all live in blissful ignorance and pretend it never happened.

    Anyway, this book is a delightfully original collection of essays, where the authors do what I always find myself doing - over analyzing nearly every aspect of the story. So if you've got a problem with that, this might not be for you. But hey, essayists are in the business of overanalyzing anything and everything - and it is a whole lot of fun. I particularly liked the contributions of Elizabeth Engstrom (Why Drs. Grey and Shepherd Will Never Live Happily Ever After) and Beth Kendrick (We Don't Do Well with Mothers Here).
