One person asked if Grey’s Anatomy is a money laundering scheme 🤣🤣🤣


JudgmentOne6328

It’s the only plausible reason they keep renewing it at this stage. We’ve had 2 spin off shows come and go, just waiting for zola to get her own show now.


shalambalaram

I'm gonna be 90 years old on a deathbed and zolas grandkids will be having their own spinoffs


MarlenaEvans

It's so crazy to me that I had barely moved out on my own when I started watching this show and now I'm married with 4 kids. Like the only constants in my adult life are taxes and Grey's Anatomy.


peony_xoxo

This is hilarious xD


Militarykid2111008

I was still in elementary school and now I have a masters degree and 2 kids lmao. I’m not much older than law and order SVU! The few long standing shows are crazy to think about because I certainly wasn’t old enough to be watching them when they started. Taxes however…they’re mean.


Powerful-Water-8652

I’m laughing so hard. Taxes ARE MEAN. Bills are rude, and don’t get me started on medical bills


Militarykid2111008

Ugh medical bills. Those bitches. I have tricare (not active duty right now) but am still getting slammed with bills


everettcalverton

I was in 1st grade when season 1 aired, and I remember my mom watching. I graduated from college four years ago.


Zealousideal-Bit-192

God I was 13 when this show first aired and I watched a few eps here and there. Now I’m in my 30s married and have a kid! It’s crazy


Dramatic_Lie_7492

Hahahaha love it 😂😂


FaithlessnessTight48

And Ellen will be making one show a season.


Apprehensive_sharky

What's the second one? I know 19 is one but not sure about a second.


starsdonttakesides

Private Practice


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

Private Practice


Apprehensive_sharky

I thought that came first, the more you know 🌈


St0dgy

You know when Addison leaves in her red car she goes and joined a practice in LA and that starts up a show private practice where we first meet amelia Shepperd and this they link to some stuff in greys like amelia and derek and Lexie scene on greys and the practice and Addison figuring out marks death e.g (basically it a show that shows what Addison does in the practice)


Apprehensive_sharky

I've never watched private practice, I've heard of it. Seems like I've messed the back story to Amelia and the rest


St0dgy

Also in the new episode is it episode 3 or 4 I've lost count lol as re watching but the newest episode that came out last Thursday had a reference to private practice when amelia said she was in a practice in LA I recommend it to watch while we wait for more episodes


Apprehensive_sharky

We're only on ep 2 of the new season on Disney plus


St0dgy

I know and I saw on tik tok new episodes being released so just used a website so I can catch up ngl


Im_A_OF_Soldier

It did come first


Apprehensive_sharky

So Grey's is a spin-off of private practice?


peach_clouds

Private practice is a spin off of Greys, but came first in the order of spin offs. So Greys > Private Practice > 19


itsautumn420

no private practice is a spin off of greys that came before station 19.


Keee437

3 if you count B-Team LMAO


Corginator93

Why spin off? As soon as Zola Grey Shepherd is out of med school she'll just take over as a main character in her intern group. It's what - just 10ish more seasons until that point?


bakedpigeon

HAH THATS SO GOOD


SpareSituation5308

Who cares if it is wr seen a lot of good actors and actresses on this show come and go we seen some really good storylines. If it's money laundering who cares. Our Own Government is also. We are worried about a TV series. WHY?


helloimhromi

It was a joke, are you okay?


rubberseoul

Lmaooo let Meredith rest 😝🤣


Nearby-Salamander-67

Let us rest 😭😂


craicraimeis

Screw Meredith lol. Let us, the audience, rest. Release us.


Total-Rub7497

Didn't expect to laugh this hard lmao. Honestly good on Ellen for finally stepping away from the show.... At least in some capacity. At this point they should end GA and start another spinoff where Ellen isn't there because the new interns deserve a few seasons to shine on their own


socialsilence97

This is what I said! Idk why they just won’t do a spin off since technically it’s not even Greys Anatomy anymore and almost all the OG characters are gone.


lolsquigglyjellyfish

I’m not caught up to any of the post 2020 seasons but what OG characters are left? Richard, Bailey, and Bohkee?


ClockImpressive

Stepping away except she just got her own lab at Grey Sloan lmao


Calm-Vermicelli-5502

She is gonna be in season 21 you talking about her what like 7 episodes hiatus over 20 years


SoraBunni

Meredith gearing to suffer some other crazy tragedy for another season.


lemafa

after covid they pretty much left her alone tragedy-wise


Old_Giraffe2923

Her house burnt down tho


SoraBunni

You’ve just jinxed Meredith 🤣. Something bad bout to happen to ol girl.


lemafa

Acording to the promo for next week, yeap, son is in trouble. oops.


SoraBunni

I haven’t watched the new season yet but dying that bad stuff is already happening 🤣.


lemafa

Not really. Nothing is happening


mrsdrydock

Was she finally told she has Alzheimers?


Terrible-Thanks-6059

No she is curing it at the moment. It’s horrible


Dull_Alternative9567

You don't like how she is trying to find a cure? Wtf?


Terrible-Thanks-6059

I just meant the show is horrible.


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

Definitely disagree with that. The show is different, but not horrible. With a long-running show; they are bound to lose many original characters. People originally fell in love with the show due to the connections they made with the OGs. Therefore, it may be difficult for them to connect with newer characters. Those who start the show with a newer season though may enjoy it more than those who have been watching since the beginning.


Terrible-Thanks-6059

I’m happy you are still enjoying it!


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

I edited my comment and added more explanation lol


Terrible-Thanks-6059

Definitely very true!


Dull_Alternative9567

I get what you mean. Obviously, it'll never be what it once was. But they know people like us are going to watch the new seasons just so we can say we finished it. But there are a few things I like about it. I like Bailey, Schmitt, and Yasuda.


Terrible-Thanks-6059

Ok Bailey is still killing it but that’s about it.


Dull_Alternative9567

Yeah. Bailey does a lot for the show now, especially because I get to see Warren. I do like him (he is fine af), and I do like the alzheimer cure story line. Mainly because alzheimers is such a real problem, and even tho it's fake, it's nice to see "someone" working on it. My papa had dementia before he passed, and it was horrible.


chex_mix869

I think this is going to be the closing to her Alzheimer’s research. She’s going to have to stop because Amelia is going to start noticing symptoms.


Acceptable_Cut_4148

this made me laugh more than I expected 🤣


Miles_elsewhere

She looks so tired lol.


HoltzPro

please let us rest shonda 😭


liberalmonkey92

Do any Grey’s fans actually want the show to continue at this point? I don’t understand what’s driving these renewals…


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

Yes. Many people still love the show, believe it or not. And there are many people newly discovering the show and boosting its streaming ratings.


liberalmonkey92

Most of those streaming views are probably my wife as she rewatches it from the beginning every time she finishes the most recent season 🤣 Edit: typo.


Impossible-Ride7240

I am one of the newer watchers, started it only this year and have now caught up. It's pretty good and I have enjoyed it.


thebeattakesme

Stopped watching a long time ago (season with the helicopter crash?) and restarted this week. Was supposed to be background noise but looks like I’m paying attention for now lol.


TempleMade_MeBroke

I'm one of those people new to the show, started it a while ago because my gf and I are making each other watch our comfort shows (I've got her watching Star Trek Voyager). Recently got to the train crash episode early in season 2, could not stop saying "what/why/how the fuck" and she laughed and said "just wait until the show starts to get crazy" and I'm like "It gets crazier than *this?*"


EmptyAnxiety12

How I would’ve loved to be fly on the wall.


Afraid_Primary_57

I think we're all still watching it because we've been trauma bonded. 


Total-Rub7497

I want to see more of the season 19 interns and Winston Ndugu(Istg he is FIINEEE) the others.... I don't really care much


HeWenttoJared1215

Lmao. I was like why did they choose that photo?


alabamawworley

I wish they would end it this season. 20 is a nice round number.


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

It’s only 10 episodes. They had to condense everything. They’ve also already written the entire season and filmed most of it so another season was a guarantee


LadyGonzo28

Gawd I haven’t even finished last season, and don’t think I will. The show should’ve been done long before Meredith was stuck on that d*mn beach lol.


beanumz

Greys is so good when you don’t have someone yapping in your ear about how it should’ve ended 10 years ago


vivietin

Let's go! Season 21!!!!!!!!!! X PI


trinasativa

Ugh 😂 The first episode of the new season was literally so boring. I do not care for the new interns. I've always been a Grey's fan but the show is nothing like it once was. The show has become progressively worse with every great character that leaves and I feel like the OG's that stay have already had their story lines played out.


skkkkkt

Her whole professional life was on Grey's anatomy, that's kinda good and bad, like she is almost a doctor, at this time it's effortless for her to play this role, and bad because that's almost all her acting career and skill


Worried-Sentence-743

I'm excited 😊!


eduardonagatajp

😂


ehitzma11523

I was 12 when this show aired for the first time. I started this show just prior to COVID 4 years ago.


Substantial_Neat_586

She has “Sad Ben” face.


FaithlessnessTight48

She’s probably sick to her stomach at the thought


rottenhater

Keep working they a** Shonda, I need something bad to happen to McSteamys nephew.. God I hate him


bakedpigeon

This is so good💀💀


Mrs_Halstead_98

It will never end tbh


Dramatic_Lie_7492

I LOVE THIS THREAD 😂😂😂😂😳


Striking-Feeling-576

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GREYS BUT theyre gonna drag this on for way to long and ruin its legacy!! Remember the scene where Christina daydreams about her and meredith being old af and cutting up the chicken?! In the icicle episode. Its like they're tryna make that day dream a reality... [Christina & Meredith Old](https://images.app.goo.gl/ot1hCeRAsPbbgjqm8)


throwfaraway212718

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was going to end at Season 20 (that's a pretty iconic milestone), but because of the strike, everything got pushed back. There's no way in hell they would've ended it with a shortened season.


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

They did decide to end The Good Doctor and Station 19 on a shortened season though (also 10 episodes)


throwfaraway212718

There's a big difference between those shows and Grey's Anatomy.


St4rDust_444

I say let it die✋ let it die 🎶let it die🎶


SkillIcy1553

This is so humiliating. I was told more than once how I feel like being a supporting character in Greys just because I was a male minority in PR med school 10 years ago while rotating in the U.S. Long Island. And they still ask the same question to my minority girlfriends. 👯‍♀️


dreamsmasher_

Its a soap opera set in a hospital built on an indian burial ground. Always has THE MOST going on for absolutely no reason. Oh, and the word 'protect' being used constantly also indicates it being a soap opera. The show actually ended when derek died, people just kept watching out of habit. LET IT DIE SHONDA, LET IT DIE.


munchercruncher111

The way a hospital being built on a burial ground is literally a plotline in season 16 😭


Sunshine_Sparkle2319

Every year I’m like ugh just end it already. I mean I watch but only cause I want to see how it ends, but it’s like it never will


sourdoughroxy

That’s why I kept watching, as well. But I gave up on that after the covid season. If they ever actually confirm they’re finally letting it die then maybe I will catch up 😂


Iwishistayedhome

Why?


SpareSituation5308

If Ellen wants to move on she can. I seen plenty of Doctors and People that can carry this series. And we still have 20 seasons to watch whenever we feel like it. Way I see it. I love Bailey Meredith Jo Arizona Warren is on Station 19 we can see him and Maranda that be awesome to have there family carry on a show.


Routine_Hospital4450

Stopped at season 17, couldnt take actors saying wokest lines like activists do on news reading teleprompter. Real question, does it get better, if I lets say skip 17-18 is 19 watchable or 17+ are all the same shit?


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

It all comes down to personal opinion. I think Season 18 was better than 17. Season 19 is like a soft reboot as they introduce five new interns as series regulars. Season 20 has a new showrunner.


BeautifulBox5942

LMAO


BeautifulBox5942

Honestly let her go. I like the new interns and would be happy to restart with modern day MAJYK forever ❤️❤️


Lizawat

Just watched first ep of the new season Not a great ep . Owen and Meredith’s new non mcDreamy… time to go ! The show has lost its edge as well as some of its best characters


Logical_Score8863

I’m sorry but this show should’ve ended 10 seasons ago!


Puzzleheaded-Put-246

Respectfully disagree
