Grey's Anatomy is a show full of great characters. Really, that's what the show is about. A collection of great, dynamic, three-dimensional characters interacting. The cast is really something to behold. The diversity is the likes of which rarely seen on network television, yet it doesn't ever become a major issue on the program.
As long as you have a large cast, viewers are always going to pick favorites. They are also going to pick enemies. This is the beauty of ensemble television. However, the thing about Grey's Anatomy that is different in this regard is the wide ranging options of people to root for and against. There are no clear cut villains and there are no clear cut good guys. There are good arguments to be had regarding the pros and cons of every single character. How often does this come about?
One of the things that people tend to gripe about regarding Grey's Anatomy is the relative weakness of the titular character, Meredith Grey. I, for one, am a big fan of Meredith, but we have to be honest: she does have her detractors. She is very quirky, a little odd for the main protagonist. This, also, is something I love about Grey's Anatomy: it has no problem playing its main character a little off-center.
Again, be able to root for a character one week and root against that same character the next week is a privilege rarely granted on prime time television. We should all relish it. I am continually amazed at the complex nature of the ins and outs of the characters. Cristina Yang can be unlikable one week and wholly sympathetic the next. Most would agree that she skews on the side of villain, but not in the conventional manner.
Grey's Anatomy is a show unlike any other with a cast unlike any other. It acts as a play, almost. A maze of connections and conflict between characters.
Beginning yesterday, the Writers Guild of America or WGA began their strike which literally pulled the rug under most television shows today. Many of the shows are now dangling with uncertainty as their unwritten episodes have flown out the window due to the strike. Moreover, those shows who are either in their freshman or follow-up seasons are in danger of losing it, and even top-rated and highly-acclaimed shows such as Grey's Anatomy are also pressured to help fix this problem.
Many are bracing for a chilly Thanksgiving as the production of various shows have gone cold, and may as well lead into an even colder Christmas season. Producers and actors have early on expressed their views on this matter.
Grey's Anatomy's very own Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd, Patrick Dempsey admitted that he is worried about the repercussions of the writers strike on the award-winning show.
"The problem is that we're not that far ahead, script wise," Dempsey explained. "I think we'll have enough shows that take us through Christmas, and, after that, we'll see if that's the season or not. I think there's a real chance of that happening. It's going to be very bad for television, certainly. The season will be wiped out."
"My concern is not so much for myself really, because I'll be alright, but I think how long this strike lasts is going to affect a lot of people that are living paycheck to paycheck - they are going to be damaged profoundly by this, and I think that's a real tragedy," the Grey's Anatomy star said. "I think a lot of people and a lot of families are going to be in a difficult place in their lives; hopefully we can come to some sort of understanding and resolve this soon enough that it doesn't affect those people."
Apparently, Dempsey isn't the only one who is sympathetic towards the lesser paid television crew and production personnel who are groping to hold on to the end of the entertainment line. Bill Lawrence, creator and executive producer of Scrubs, also shares the same sentiment.
"Right now, I fear that a lot of the writers have no real clue just how tough this is going to be. I'd imagine things will get very grim sometime after Christmas," Lawrence admitted. "I've kind of won the lottery in having a few shows that went to syndication in both Scrubs and Spin City , so anything I say about my own sacrifice would drip with selfishness. This is such a bigger deal for the guys who work below the line and largely live hand-to-mouth and the younger writers who can't go without a paycheck for very long."
