It’s time to suture up the folks to at Grey Sloan whatever.
ABC has renewed “Grey’s Anatomy” for a 21st and hopefully final season. They’re shoving it to 10pm, an hour later on Thursdays, when most of its viewers will have decamped.
Tonight’s episode is completely unwatchable anyway. I flipped over from “SVU” to see what was going on. Ellen Pompeo is just not there. The new characters and stories are as compelling as old milk. When a show is over, it’s over. This one has outlasted its warranty by six or seven years.
“Greys” has a great run and made a lot of people rich. But really, call the code now and admit that next year is just a victory lap, ABC.
Replacing “Greys” at 9pm is yet another new medical show, this one from Ryan Murphy and starring Pacey from “Dawson’s Creek,” Joshua Jackson. It looks like it’s set on cruise liner. Same medical conditions, new setting. And that’s the way it’s been since “Dr. Kildare” and “Ben Casey.”
