I really loved tonight's episode. This show is wonderful.

Merediths character is annoying. i'm really hating the meet cute relationship shes having with patrick duffys character. that scene where she goes 'crap' was exactly how i felt about the delivery. i love the all knowing voice over being done by the idiot character too, just inspires me to be better. yah.

I don't necessarily find Meredith's character annoying, but a tad bit on the inconsistent side in the personality department. I forgave inconsistency in the first episode since the writers may have been trying to find a path for her, but by the 3rd episode, she still behaved erratically. Maybe her consistency is inconsistency? She's depressed one moment, happy go lucky the next, then sad again, then angry and violent, then happy go lucky again. Hmmm... I guess it is a bit annoying. All the other characters are fine though. The show is still entertaining despite a bad main character, although it would be a lot better if they could do someting with her. Oh well.

Characters don't always find their footing in the first episode or even in the first season. I could list several charaters that took a couple of seasons to finally nail down who they were and gain the acceptance of viewers.

However, I think the changes in her mood are somewhat common among people in general anyway. But for a tv show there really isn't the time to go back and forth. I am sure she will find her role with further development in the series. I don't think I would call her a bad main character (I actually like her, but I also can quote all of Bubble Boy too) so much as one who isn't as strong as one would desire.

I suppose it's true that characters don't find a footing at first, but most of the time, those are supporting roles. Main characters are usually more fleshed out, at least I hope so. I don't mind Meredith, it's just that I find the supporting cast around her to seem more interesting. Oh well.

I agree that the supporting cast is interesting. And chances are we'll get to know them more as the series progresses. I think it will end up being more of an ensemble show that Meredith just happens to narrate.

More like Scrubs- you get to know more about each person and such but still narrated by one.

But I am pulling that out of my ass, so it could be completely just my opinion as to what it should become and not happen.

This show is getting really stupid. if everyone sleeps with everyone else and only on the third episode, what's it got lined up for next 18 episodes? And the forshadwoing of future relationships, i mean, wow... talk about being subtle. How about, instead of sex, there's some character development (expecially on meredith, so this annoyance i feel doesn't bloom into full fledge hate). Give me a reason to care about merediths feelings please. Because right now i'm thinking shes going to get burned by both dr. dempsy and her friends, and i'm oh so looking forward to it.

I am sure that that is planed, maybe not all at once, but throughout the desired life of the show.

Patrick Duffy played Bobby Ewing on Dallas. Patrick Dempsey plays Dr. Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy.

wow, hmm. glad you know so much about obscure actors. thanks for the correction, you loser.

Patrick Duffy is hardly an obscure character!!!!

Patrick Duffy is hardly an obscure character! If you are going to criticize some thing you should at least get your information correct.

I don't like the voice-overs -- too cliched. They also act like nurses are largely useless and ineffectual.

Overall, I like the show a lot -- particularly Meredith's friend (played by Sandra Oh.)

people who have lives dont care to much about obscure actors. their interchangable, hardley memorable.

You think I don't have a life?

this has got to be the best show ever!! meredith is so funny, i love her. patrick DEMPSEY and ellen pompeo work great together, i also like kate walsh, and i cant wait to find out what happens between the lil love triangle!!
