Post Buffy, Joss Whedon developed this brilliant sci-fi show with a killer cast and deep story. Fox kept it on the air for only 17 shows.

It was a gritty, extremely well-written, funny, scary, brutal, light, everything sci-fi genre mashup that could pretty much be described as "a western in space" (the money shot of the opening is a spaceship soaring over a corral of horses).

I could stare at him for hours at a time :)<BR/><BR/>I watch Grey's Anatomy every week (and Private Practice, and House, and ER, and CSI, and NCIS). It did used to be more believable (I mean, I don't think she was underwater for very long, but the fact that her heart wasn't beating for FOUR hours was a little less than believable - all my friends stopped watching at that point). But I'm still addicted to it, just like I'm addicted to the thirty other shows I watch. It's truly a nighttime soap opera. Not as good as it used to be, but I still want to know what's going to happen next.The Lethological Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728934244935813026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-91563154326418910902007-10-23T13:37:00.000-04:002007-10-23T13:37:00.000-04:00This post was the funniest deal I've read this wee...This post was the funniest deal I've read this week. It easily could have applied to ER as well. To be honest I never knew much about this kind of stuff until I did my RN clinicals and when I did I found that oddly enough Scrubs was the most realistic to hospital life. Which seems weird but I think it's because it's not over the top with strange diseases and the docs are questioning what they do all the time. <BR/><BR/>But after clinicals ER made me choke with the sheer inaccuracies and over the top drama. And I hardly ever even watch it. I haven't seen Grey's because that one doctor is gross (that Patrick fellow?) the lead. I can't stand looking at him. He's not as gross as Matt Damon but pretty close.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619288792228194391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-73371168814297471282007-10-23T13:28:00.000-04:002007-10-23T13:28:00.000-04:00Why watch it when I've been living it!And a gentle...Why watch it when I've been living it!<BR/>And a gentleman doctor never tells... :-)<BR/>Dr. JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-68716764349584166232007-10-23T13:09:00.000-04:002007-10-23T13:09:00.000-04:00I've never watched Grey's Anatomy, and now that I'...I've never watched Grey's Anatomy, and now that I've read your post I probably never will.

They all do crappy CPR, with bent elbows and the body next to them instead of below them. (arms horizontal instead of vertical). You can't possibly push hard enough like that. I get that this person doesn't really need CPR and is an actor so they probably don't want to break his ribs, but there's gotta be a better way to fake it.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I still watch Grey's, though I pretend it's a soap opera, not a medical show.
