Many people will agree with me in my firm opinion that Grey’s Anatomy is by far one of the best shows on television, and there is a reason for that. (Rather, multiple reasons.) So, in honor of the 10th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of Grey’s, I have made a short list.
-It’s incredibly easy to relate to.
The relationships are never perfect. They aren’t afraid to cover the difficult things that are major parts of life, such as sexual orientation, religion, death…the list goes on.
Along with that, the characters are all realistic. They all have their flaws and they have all made mistakes. They are human, and that’s why audiences can really understand the characters and come to love them so well.
-It’s not just mind-numbing television.
This is literally a show about a hospital and medicine. Every episode brings new information for audiences to learn about. You can’t just zone out for Grey’s Anatomy. Like a surgeon, you’ve got to keep your mind sharp.
-Most importantly, Grey’s gave us the concept of “my person.”
Possibly the most important contribution Grey’s Anatomy has made to the world was the introduction of having a “person.” Up until this point, friendships like Meredith and Christina’s were hard to explain. Now we know exactly how to describe that complete and utter love you hold for your friends. We know how to label a friendship that is more than just a friendship.

I love love love Grey’s Anatomy!! Every point you make is spot on. No gonna lie, I binge watched all the seasons last semester and it was awesome! To your last point, as someone who continually refers to their friends as their people, I believe that this show introducing “my person” to the world is one of the best things that could’ve happened! Anyways, I really enjoyed your blog post 🙂
