Description

Like I previously stated, Grey's Anatomy is a Medical Drama that airs every Thursday at 9|8 central on ABC. It is based at a fictional hospital called Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in Seattle, Washington.

Meredith Grey, played by Ellan Pompeo, is the protagonist of the show hence the name, Grey's Anatomy. Meredith is very passionate about medicine and is a natural when it comes to solving medical dilemmas  This is most likely because she grew up in the hospital being that her mother was a very famous doctor in her day before being diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease. Throughout the seasons, Meredith struggles to deal with her mothers disease mostly because she fears she will get it one day too. Eventually she decides to leave this fear behind and live her life to the fullest by adopting a little girl named Zola with her husband Derek Shepherd, played by Patrick Dempsey. Derek is a neurological surgeon who plays the charming, well mannered doctor that one cannot help but love. Throughout the seasons, he has struggled in his relationships and his career but found love in Meredith. Even though it was a bumpy ride, him and Meredith work well together and have a wonderful, ideal relationship in the show. Sadly, in more recent episodes, Derek lost function in his had, almost ruining his career as a neuro surgeon.
Luckily, Callie Torres who is played by Sara Ramirez , the head Orthopedic Surgeon, is looking for a way to fix his hand. She is a skilled, determined and driven surgeon who has lost her husband, babies father, and almost her baby, Sophia. Callie also struggled with sexuality issues but found her true love in the head Pediatric department, Arizona Robbins (Jessica Chapsaw).
 Arizona's cheerful attitude quickly went dark after being involved in the jaw dropping 8th season finale airplane accident and losing her left leg. Recently, she has been struggling with her prosthetic and her relationship with Callie has been on the rocks. However, she recently returned to work and things are starting to brighten up.

Working beside her in the Pediatric department is Alex Karev, played by Justin Chambers. Even though Alex usually finds himself in a bind with sexual partners and friendships, he is still very confident and is a very good doctor. In the past, he has struggled with very intimate relationships with women who both left him when he was deeply in love with them. This is probably why he tells it like it is and has casually sex with all of the interns on the regular.
One of Alex's worst enemies is the outspoken, ambitious Christina Yang (Sandra Oh). Christina is a fellow of the Cardiac program, a program that she fell in love with early in the show. Christina is one of the most intelligent doctors in the show and she knows it. Her bossy attitude gets her into trouble every once in a while. She has been married twice and is on her way to getting a second divorce with the Chief of the hospital, Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), who cheated on her last season.

Owen used to be in the Army and struggled with anger and violence issues, once actually trying to strangle Christina in her sleep under the impression that she was a terrorist. What really broke up their relationship was the fact that Christina got an abortion without Owens approval which put up a barrier in their relationship that could not be torn down. Now, Hunt is struggling with a law suit from the hospital about the awful plane crash. He is now getting guidance from former chief, Richard Webber played by James Pickens, Jr. Richards wisdom and compassion has earned him great respect in the medical community.
Sadly, his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and has forgot everything about their relationship and now lives in a home where she found love with another man. Richard has accepted the fact that his wife is not the women he once knew, and has found love in his work at the hospital.
He is closest with Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), the head of the General Surgery department who has a very straightforward and tough attitude when it comes to studying medicine. She has a son and is getting ready to be married for the second time. Even though she comes off as being a tough skinned, she cares about all the doctors and is always there to give them helpful advice about medicine and life in general.

After having searched the web and watching a few Grey's Episodes, I found no ads in the show besides the fact that they show scenes of the city of Seattle. However, if someone chooses to watch the show on the internet such as on ABC or Hulu, they have to watch long commercials.
