ABC Wants More “Grey’s Anatomy” — Do You?

grey's anatomy season 9

Grey’s Anatomy is one of those shows that makes people say, “That’s still on? I thought it ended years ago.” Perhaps that’s due to Katherine Heigl‘s departure, or maybe because it’s just been on so long its lost all hype. Season 10 starts on September 26 with a two-hour premiere. Maybe this is why people are sick of the show. It’s just…bloated. I stopped watching somewhere in the middle, but started again. I don’t know why. It’s pretty bad. They’ve killed off half the original cast by now. And the drama that happens to them, outside of bullshit relationship stuff, I’m talking about things like a shooter running around in a hospital and almost everyone in a plane crash, is getting too ridiculous for some viewers to put up with.

But not for ABC. In fact, ABC Entertainment Group president Paul Lee wants more seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. From Hollywood Reporter:

Deals with the six core Grey’s Anatomy cast members, including Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey, are up after the upcoming season. And several have expressed interest in pursuing other work. But Lee said he hopes to have the show on ABC for “many years to come” and expressed confidence that creator Shonda Rhimes would find a way to weather whatever casting changes occur. “Shonda is an extraordinary creative force […] She will, like she always does, bring changes that are extraordinary. We would certainly like to see it on the network for many years to come.”

“Many years”? No way, dude. It’s all about Scandal now.

Are you still watching Grey’s Anatomy?
