The Temple of Dagon

Grey's Anatomy is built around intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) the daughter of a famous surgeon, and four fellow interns starting a long, grueling residency. Drill sergeant-like attendings and one vicious senior resident ("the Nazi") will train them through calculated abuse. Most of the interns, we are gravely informed, will not complete this sacred quest. All nine major characters are surgeons. Though only six of the 20 interns are female, three of the five major intern characters are. The attractive Meredith is the show's moral center, providing voiceover that ranges from confession to reinforcement of the show's vision of surgeons as the "Marines" of health care. She isn't sure if she's up to "the game," as the show reverently refers to surgery, but she "loves the playing field." One of the attendings, a cute guy Meredith picked up in a bar and brought home the night before her first shift (oops) begins one surgery by noting that it's a "beautiful night to save lives." Most of the writing isn't that bad, and some of the characters show potential, notably cutthroat intern Cristina, played with the right mix of nasty and pathetic by Sandra Oh. We could easily see the show being a hit, especially with "Desperate Housewives" as its lead-in. Grey’s anatomy’s audience topped that of the original ER broadcast three days earlier.
