Best 5 Minutes of TV This Year

In television there are few shows that will go down into the history books of American culture.  There are few shows that will grab the countries attention, and then therefore with syndication and DVD sales, the worlds.  Grey’s Anatomy has replaced my Lost and The O.C. obsessed attention span.  Yes, there is still Ugly Betty, Heroes, and a handful of others but none of them come close to the addiction I feel with Grey’s.  It was suggested to me by my friend Joe who also recommended Veronica Mars, which is sadly now hurtling towards bad writing irrelevance.   

After the fourth disc of Grey’s Anatomy with episodes like the “Code Black” and “What Have I Done To Deserve This?” I strongly believe that this show has hit its mark mid-season and it continues to soar.  I can’t say anything about the rest of the season nor feel the need to given that it is already by far some of the best television I have seen and has clearly caught on with America (and the world).  There is not any other television show in recent history (and by that I mean like five years) that has made me cry as many times as Grey’s.  I have cried, full blown sobbing uncontrollably, about six times while watching Season 2.

Now if that in it self isn’t impressive enough, lets throw in some of the most amazing actors and writers in Hollywood television.  Patrick Dempsey does an amazing job, as does the entire cast really.  I have never been able to identify with Grey, obviously whom the show centers on.  I just find her obnoxious, miserable, and annoying to watch.

Not only was it intense, but the little pieces of paper floating down while still on fire were extremely realistic. I'm shaking as I write this remembering what overpressure feels like when I got hit.
