Grey's Anatomy (2005-2021)

Shondaland might have a whole bunch of shows on a whole bunch of networks these days, but the one that started it all will always be Shonda Rhimes' absurdly long lasting medical drama Grey's Anatomy.  Lasting a full nineteen seasons, it is ABC's longest running scripted primetime show ever, beating out The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet by over five seasons. Titled with a clever pun that mixed our protagonist's last name and a famous anatomical textbook, the overall plot concerns a hospital in Seattle where a wildly attractive group of doctors and interns mix saving lives with very active sex lives. Early on we followed Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) as she tried to make it from intern to surgeon, while finding friends and foes alike in her fellow doctors including the dyslexic Stanford grad inspired to become a surgeon having witnessed her father die in a car accident Cristina Yang (Sideways babe Sandra Oh), the buxom blonde teen mom from the trailer park done good, Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), and Meredith's boss turned boyfriend Derek Shepherd (Patrick Dempsey) AKA McDreamy. Eventually we meet Merediths' sister (Chyler Leigh) and her lesbian lover (Kelly McCreary), an Iraq War Veteran with PTSD trying to practice his surgical craft in a civilian setting (Kevin McKidd), and a million other characters as people left the show. There was all sorts of behind the scenes drama on this one, from actors being fired for homophobia to others refusing Emmy nominations because they didn't think the show's writing was good enough, all the way to a staff writer making up all sorts of traumatic stories about her personal life. But even with all these cast changes and emergency rewrites, the tried and true method of putting perfect dubs in and out of scrubs never failed. While she was on the show, Katherine Heigl's humongous hooters were always jiggling onscreen, whether in a tight tank top or a bikini, as were the funbags of the ultra-MILFy Kate Walsh. Imagine finding yourself on the table with one of these comely young medics gently tending to your person. It’s enough to make a guy want to hurt himself! Oh well, we'll just beat our meat instead! Add to that Ellen Pompeo's pom poms in a bra as she rides her man, Sandra Oh looking oh so sexy while straddling a dude in red lingerie, Kim Raver, Sherri Saum and Rya Kihlstedt in a tantric threeway makeout session, Sarah Drew nearly making you spew while her pasty but perky poppers bounce in a blue bra, and more, and this show really had it all! Forget trying to become an MD, our D is more than happy studying Grey's Anatomy!
