TV Geek Out 47: TV News Discussion

Happy 2009! In our first post of the new year, the TV Geek Out geeks discuss some of the top stories in the world of television. First and foremost is NBC's decision to have Jay Leno on every weeknight at 10 pm later this year, effectively trimming their prime-time programming schedule by five hours a week. Was this a good move for the network? For other networks? We hash it out, along with Golden Globes nominations, True Blood casting news, and more.

TV Geek Out 40: Grey's Anatomy, "In the Midnight Hour"

Grey's Anatomy seemed to go off the deep end with "In the Midnight Hour," resorting to steamy GHOST SEX between Izzie and "Denny" in order to keep beloved guest star Jeffrey Dean Morgan somehow on the program. That might not have even been the most ridiculous element of this particularly absurd episode, which also brought us a covert intern-on-intern appendectomy and a seemingly unbelievable poop transplant between a husband and wife (though that actually has a real medical basis!). Was this the episode where Grey's finally jumped the shark? Did that already happen long ago, or is the show shark-proof? Has Izzie lost her mind, or have the writers lost theirs? The TV Geek Out geeks ponder those questions and more, including how the hell any of the doctors at Seattle Grace even still have a job.

TV Geek Out 33: Grey's Anatomy, "These Ties That Bind"

The first episode after Dr. Hahn just got in her car and never came back to Seattle Grace featured an "accordioned homeless guy," introduced Melissa George as Meredith's sexy, edgy friend Sadie and marked the return of Denny ... as a ghost haunting Izzie. Why does Jeffrey Dean Morgan always play the dead guy on TV shows? The TV Geek Out Geeks marvel at the truly strange territory Grey's Anatomy is venturing into.

TV Geek Out 16: Grey's Anatomy

The firing of Brooke Smith, a.k.a. Dr. Hahn and one part of Grey's Anatomy's lesbian couple Callica, made headlines and raised eybrows. Why has ABC suddenly become squeamish about gay relationships? Could there have been other reasons for the firing? Why do all the doctors at Seattle Grace become idiots once they fall in love (or lust) with each other? The TV Geek Out geeks vent about Smith's firing.
