All the Shades of Grey

In the best news to hit the internets this year (ha!), ABC has announced that Kim Raver will be joining the cast of Grey’s Anatomy full-time, appearing in all of season six’s remaining twelve episodes except for one, and returning for future seasons as a series regular. If you’ll remember, Raver’s character Teddy was introduced [...]

Ten episodes into season six and our beloved cast of characters at Seattle Grace have grieved their poor little hearts out, been misunderstood, been invaded, been taken for granted, been forced to take sides, taken risk after career-threatening risk, had their hearts ripped out, stomped on, and pâté’d, endured love’s treacherous obstacle course, and will [...]

It is that time of the year again, where there are less than two weeks left until we enter not only a new year but a new decade, and as such, Megan and I felt it was time to try to find out from you – our dear readers – what you want to see [...]

So I realize that Grey’s Anatomy didn’t premiere until 2005, meaning that it has only been around for half of the decade, but I kept seeing these “top of the decade” posts on all of the other sites and I was feeling left out, so I decided to do one for this site too. Tackling [...]

I haven’t been able to review Grey’s Anatomy this season, which comes as a result of, for the first time in four seasons, I’ve had to work on Thursday nights. And it kills me to know that I’m missing it when I’m there and that after I do get to watch it, I don’t get [...]

[ This review covers the film Brothers, distributed by Lionsgate, starring Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, and Jake Gyllenhaal. The film is rated R and was originally released on Friday, December 4, 2009 ]
This is a first for me, doing this movie review. But I just got out of seeing Brothers and I felt that I [...]

[ This review covers Season One, Episode Thirteen of Glee, entitled Sectionals, which originally aired on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 ]
I didn’t think Glee could’ve ended its first batch of episodes any better. FOX is imposing an awful four-month-long hiatus on us, not bringing Glee back to our screens until Tuesday, April 13, 2010, and [...]

A look back at five exceptional television shows over the last 10 years that were axed before their time, taking their potential to the grave.

[ This review covers Season Four, Episode Nine of Brothers & Sisters, entitled Pregnant Pause, which airs on Sunday, November 29, 2009 ]
Rewind. That’s what the Walkers need to do. Rewind all the way back to the beginning of this season and just start all over. Something about this season of Brothers & Sisters is [...]

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Ten of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled Holidaze, which originally aired on Thursday, November 19, 2009 ]

For a season that started off pretty dull and unexciting for me, this episode was a great note to end the first half of the season on. I usually can’t stand holiday-y movies or [...]

I really honestly hadn’t planned on updating the look of this blog until around New Year’s, but I found myself wanting to do nothing more than redesign the site because I haven’t done it in a long while. While I love the last layout we had here at AtSoG, I felt that it was a [...]

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Nine of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled New History, which originally aired on Thursday, November 12, 2009 ]

(Like the pun in my title?! Too cheesy? Yeah, didn’t think so.)
If there’s one thing to be said about this episode it’s that it was most definitely entertaining. From the introduction of Seattle [...]

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Eight of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled Invest in Love, which originally aired on Thursday, November 5, 2009 ]

The best Grey’s Anatomy episodes for me are the ones that have me laughing out loud one minute and crying a river the next and have me on the edge of my [...]

Here’s the first installment of a new “Quick Word” feature I’m implementing, to you let you know what is going on around the site. They won’t be posted on any regular basis – just whenever I feel I need to communicate some new site changes or features with you. So let’s begin…

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Seven of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled Give Peace a Chance, which originally aired on Thursday, October 29, 2009 ]

I want to start by saying that if I were wearing socks at the time, this episode would have knocked them off. But it’s hot and uber-humid where I live right [...]

Oh my God, I am so excited for this episode. Reason #1: Kim Raver joins the cast! I love love love her, ever since her days on 24 when she was getting Jack Bauer into trouble and then on Lipstick Jungle, where she held that show like none other. Reason #2: Izzie returns! Presumably this [...]

We here at All the Shades of Grey love to hear from you, our readers. I mean, seriously, you guys are the reason we do this. We hope we are providing you with fun and engaging reviews, along with the occasional editorial that makes you think. But we realize that we aren’t perfect, and there [...]

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Six of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled I Saw What I Saw, which originally aired on Thursday, October 22, 2009 ]

In case you guys hadn’t noticed, I’ve been a little disappointed by this season so far. So, I really wanted to be re-impressed with this episode. The previews looked so [...]

DISCLAIMER | The following is an editorial based on nothing but pure rumor and speculation. Take everything with a grain of salt, and most importantly: don’t freak out. Seriously. No freaking out is necessary.
As spoilerphobic as I am, ever since two of Grey’s Anatomy’s biggest plot twists for season six were ruined for me after [...]

It looks like time in the Grey’s Anatomy universe will be moving at a much higher speed than we’ve ever seen before. After passing through forty days in the season premiere “Good Mourning” & “Goodbye,” Seattle Grace Mercy West (is that really the best they could come up with for the new name? It couldn’t [...]

[ This review covers Season Six, Episode Five of Grey’s Anatomy, entitled Invasion, which originally aired on Thursday, October 15, 2009 ]

The Merger is finally in full swing, which means war for the residents involved. The Seattle Grace attendings, on the other hand, seem to be taking it rather well, in fact, a couple (Shepherd [...]

[ This review takes a look back at the FOX television series Firefly, which originally aired from September 20 until December 20, 2002 and the motion picture Serenity, released by Universal Pictures on September 30, 2005 ]
It appeared as though the world really, really didn’t want me to see Joss Whedon’s Firefly. After hearing that [...]
