I hate waiting for new season when I like a series so when Grey's Anatomy started a few years ago and I run out of seasons to watch I gave up on it. But now that its in its 9th season and I have a lot of seasons to watch, I've started rewatching it from the beginning again.
I like medical drama, to me medicine is fun and if it wasn't for having to study for almost 10 years I might just have become a surgeon. While I'm watching the series, I've been doing some reading. Here's some interesting trivia I found.
1. The name of each episode is the title of a song by a popular artist. Quite a few are named after songs by the Beatles and R.E.M.
2. The series title is a reference not only to Meredith Grey but also the anatomy book by Henry Gray - "Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body". Before the show was aired it was supposed to be called "Complications".
3. When I saw the pilot I didn't see Karev and wondered about why he was missing in the five assigned to Bailey. Karev was not originally a part of the pilot script. He was added later as an afterthought to be a companion to Dr. O'Malley hence his scenes for the pilot are re-shoots and digital alterations.
4. Sandra Oh who plays Dr. Cristina Yang was initially looking to audition for the part of Dr. Bailey.
5. Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) had originally auditioned to play the role of Dr. Shepherd. Glad the casting crew saw otherwise coz he's so not Shepherd.
6. The poster Meredith puts up asking for a roommate says "Bush supporters need not apply".
7. Dr. Christina Yang is an MD-PhD, she graduated first in her class at Standford University.
8. The first person to call Dr. Shepherd "McDreamy" was Christina and Meredith was the first to call Dr. Sloan "McSteamy".
9. Izzie's full name is Isobel Catherine Stevens and Karev's full name is Alexander Michael Karev.
10. Katherine Heigl was supposed to come back for the season's finale after she took time off during season 6. But she didn't and her last episode was: I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked.
11. The five original interns get married through the series. Meredith Grey to Derek Shepherd, Christina Yang to Owen Hunt, Gerorge O'Malley to Calliope Torres and Izzie Stevens to Alex Karev.
12. Bailey's original five also go through surgery at some point in the series. Meredith for appendicitis and liver donation to her father, Christina for an ectopic pregnancy, Alex for a gun shot, Izzie for cancer and George after he got hit by a bus.
