It was a re-cap episode that essentially caught us up with everything that had happened since then, and we&#8217;ve been hooked since. The show has &#8216;must see TV&#8217; status on our Tivo. But tonight the show has surely <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jumptheshark.com\/\">Jumped The Shark<\/a>. The hints were all there last week, when Meredith drowned, and the episode ended with her waking up in a hospital room surrounded by some of the key &#8216;previously departed&#8217; from the show. My neighbor TJ saw it coming then, stating firmly last weekend that the show had jumped.<\/p>\n<p>Now I recognize that this is just a prime-time medical soap opera. Others have joined and left our list, we used to watch ER, I guess that stopped when Dr. Green died. We currently watch House pretty regularly, but it is much more of a medical-CSI, while Grey&#8217;s is ALL soap.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, so tonight after her body lay cold on the table for most of the episode while she&#8217;s talking to the dead, her own dying mom shows up to tell her she&#8217;s proud of her and talks her back into living. And then the kicker, Dead Denny gets his farewell to Izzy&#8230; pu-leeze! My wife doesn&#8217;t want to admit it, and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll continue watching the show on it&#8217;s inevitable downward spiral (which is further evidenced by the announcement of <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20070223\/ap_en_tv\/tv_grey_s_anatomy_spinoff\">pending spin-offs<\/a>), but TJ was right. This show has jumped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife and I first watched Grey&#8217;s Anatomy after last year&#8217;s Super Bowl.
