Grey’s Anatomy Season 3 Premiere Tonight

I’ll be honest with you. I have three favorite shows, I know that sounds like I’m saying I have three best friends, but it’s true. Of all the TV I watch (and I watch a lot). There are 3 shows that I would be utterly devastated without. The first is The Office (duh), next is Veronica Mars, and the third is Grey’s Anatomy.

By far the BEST drama on TV, Grey’s Anatomy is the perfect blend of drama, comedy and let’s face it…pretty, pretty people. The writing is insanely good, as are the actors. Each and everyone of them bring a complexitiy unparalled in TV today.

As a self-admitted TV addict, I love the behind-the-scenes action almost as much as I do what we see play out on the screen each week. To this end, Grey Matter brings me such joy. Grey Matter (www.GreysWriters.com) is a blog written and maintained by Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Shonda Rhimes. Each week Shonda and her staff of writers post about their experience writing that week’s episode. Where did the storylines come from? What was happening on a particular day of shooting? Why did they make the writing choices they did? I personally find it extremely fascinating.

In this week’s blog, Shonda Rhimes talks about her anxiety over Grey’s Anatomy moving to the new Thursday night time slot.

The head of ABC Steve McPherson (seriously, would it surprise you to know that I secretly call him McFee?) was all, “Shonda, we’re moving you to Thursday” and I was all, “Whoo-hoo!” And I got really super excited. Because Thursday? Is a rocking night for television. I did some dances of joy.

Then I woke up this morning and, out of nowhere, found myself FREAKED OUT. Because Thursdays? Is a rocking night for television.

…do me a favor and set your VCRs and your Tivos and most important, plant your heinies in front of the TV Thursday night at 9 pm and watch. Okay? So I don’t burst a blood vessel in my brain from the stress?

Even up against the powerhouse CSI, I think the doctors of Seattle Grace are going to hold their own just fine. I mean, seriously, is anyone out there not dying to find out who Meredith chooses? I can’t imagine a tougher decision in life – McVet (Chris O’Donnell) or McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey), not that’s just not fair.

And what about Izzie? She cut the L-Vad wire, Denny died (wait, I need a moment…ok), she quit the intern program. What is going to happen with our little trailer park surgeon? And will Alex Karev help her through this rough time? Burke too is in jeopardy. After being shot, he is in risk of losing his ability to perform heart surgery, and perhaps in risk of losing Christina. Will Yang stay with Preston if he is no longer a world renowned surgeon? I guess we’ll have to wait and see. And don’t get me started on how excited I am to see my little George O’Malley tonight. The boy is adorable, and I hope he catches a few breaks this season. I’m already in love with his new love Callie (Sara Ramirez) and I hope those crazy kids can find some time for fun.

So yeah, as excited I am for that other show to premiere tonight, I am equally as excited to see Grey’s Anatomy back for its 3rd season. What a FANTASTIC night of TV!!! And count on GiveMeMyRemote.com to be back each and every Friday with a full recap of Grey’s Anatomy.
