Grey’s Anatomy is a long running show on ABC. The show began in 2004 and has been airing new seasons ever since. Although the cast has changed throughout the years, the stories haven’t. Grey’s Anatomy takes place at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital which means that all the episodes are hospital and doctor related. Medical dramas target particularly those in or interested in the medical field and those that don’t mind when they view graphic surgeries and medical situations. This upcoming season will attract many viewers because an original character from the show’s earlier seasons may be making an appearance which will get people from all over to view the show’s new season.
