Grey's Anatomy? Hardly…

I feel like I've been scammed somehow. Rant time!

I went over to my parents to watch the 2 hour Grey's Anatomy "event" last night (I'd watch it at my place, but…they have the HDTV…sooo….) and I feel ripped off. Instead of making it an actually interesting story, they took the opportunity to basically intercut the show with footage from the new spinoff pilot they're trying to get picked up.

The spinoff parts were horrible! There was nothing in there that was even remotely like what I enjoy so much about Grey's Anatomy (The quirky humor, the solid evolving storyline, etc). What was there were a ton of jokes about sex and a 5 minute (at least it seemed like 5 minutes) shot of the office receptionist turned surfer boy waxing his surfboard without wearing a shirt.

Yeah, I think I'll pass on the spinoff if it gets picked up, which may actually not happen still, considering most of the comments I've read around the internet this morning have been very, very negative about it. Anyway, even if it was good, I wouldn't watch it on principle. It's not right that they basically hijacked a show, promoted a 2 hour event and gave us a show that was 3/4ths NOT the show they told us we were going to be getting.

Bah. I want that 2 hours of my life back.
