Grey's Anatomy Goes Musical? Seriously??

[tj_teejay]

Whose brainfart was this, and—worse still—who encouraged this someone to write and film it? This was the very first Grey's Anatomy episode that I didn't actually watch. Well, I kinda did because I wanted to know what happened, but I fast forwarded through large portions of it. Especially those with the singing. Because, seriously? Making a musical episode for a hospital TV show is just an incredibly bad idea. Even more so if the episode is about something really important. Like, oh, a major character's life hanging in the balance.

That said, I didn't think the singing was bad. But it just didn't friggin' belong in a Grey's Anatomy episode. So, yeah, I hope they never do it again. Case closed. Next?

As much as I didn't enjoy Shonda Rhime's latest caper, I very much enjoyed the sesaon premiere of Nurse Jackie. God, that show is so quirky. There isn't a character on that show I don't love. I mean, of course, they all have their flaws, but that's what makes it so much fun.

I also watched The Event, and I'm getting a tad bored with it. I won't be too sad if this show didn't see a second season. Makes me wanna hit someone at ABC over the head with a rubber chicken because I'd much rather have seen a second season of FlashForward than a first season of The Event. (And, yes, I know The Event is an NBC show, but that doesn't make it any better.)

So, uhm, can you tell I'm having a lazy Sunday, catching up on all the TV shows I missed last week? Next up, CSI:NY. Couch potatoing is a wonderful thing.

Really? Grey's Anatomy... musical???? Hmmm I haven't watched the show but somehow I don't think musicals and hospital drama mix... ?!?!?!

I miss Flashforward...

Yeah, it was a bad idea if you ask me. But I'm glad a friend told me beforehand that there was going to be a musical episode. I think it would have been even worse if I'd just watched it without warning. Because then I definitely would have been all WTF?!

And, yep, I miss FF too. A lot! :-(

*lol* hab auch schon Schlimmes über diese Folge gehört und kann mir das ja so gar nicht vorstellen *tztztz*

Na ja, es hätte sicher schlimmer gehen können. Sie haben's eigentlich auch ganz gut gelöst mit der Singerei, aber es paßt einfach nicht zur Serie. Die Folge hätten sie sich echt schenken können.
