Shonda Rhimes Is Glad Her Daughter Has Never Seen Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy producer Shonda Rhimes discloses that she is glad her daughter doesn't watch the hit medical drama. Grey's Anatomy premiered in March 2005 on ABC, following a surgical team developing their careers at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital while balancing personal and professional relationships. The drama series has been overwhelmingly well-received by critics and fans, earning countless award nominations and taking home the People's Choice Awards for Best Drama several times. Grey's Anatomy is touted as a juggernaut of television, attributing its longevity and dominant ratings to its solid writing, casting, and production.
In addition to being a medical drama, Grey's Anatomy explores many romantic relationships, and places sexuality front and center. Episode 1 even opens with a «morning-after» interaction between Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey), with neither knowing who each other was, let alone their names. Later on, viewers meet Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez), who is perhaps the most sexually evolved character on the show, who realizes that she enjoys the company of women as much as men. These are just some of many examples of how the romantic and sexual elements of Grey's Anatomy are fundamentally built into the show's story.
