There might not be a forever but Grey's Anatomy has been there for 14 seasons of 20+ episodes per season, and in the tv series lifespan, that's pretty much close to 100 years.
Sure, the setting is majorly in a hospital but you probably won't expect anything more than that because you know it's a medical drama, right? It's not like Grey's Anatomy will be set in the Amazon where the surgeons are there to scavenge whatever they can and start building fire and eat each other (anatomy). It's probably for a different show.
Grey's Anatomy is not one of those series that when you watch seems like punishment for all the sins you have committed before. Some folks call it the series where everyone sleeps with everyone and although it has its faults at that part (not sure if people who regularly spend 3 straight work shifts with each other eventually sleep with each other), they put the ER in lovers when it's just about right.
It's a drama I prefer to watch with subtitles because I'm in it for the wise words of Meredith Grey that surpasses Grandma Willow from Pocahontas. It might not be as medical as people in the medical field want it to be, as they say House has more realistic details, but I guess for the ordinary people it's enough for us to be a little more comfortable and familiar with the hospital.
The end of the 13th season marked the 293rd episode of Grey's Anatomy. And making it at around 50 minutes per episode, that's 14,650 minutes of tears, explosions, scrubs, coats, crashes, times of death, defibrillators, MRIs, and blood for me. It's also showing on ABC's Thursday prime time so it looks like it's here to stay for a little more. Grey's Anatomy will always be my "person" and a reminder that sometimes, I just need to dance it out.
And in case you missed it, Season 14 is out with 2 episodes to boot.
*Note - The show-runner, Shonda Rhimes, has moved on exclusively (!!!) to Netflix and although she mentioned that Grey's Anatomy will continue to air in ABC. I wonder how this will affect the series moving forward.
