It is the longest-running scripted primetime show currently airing on ABC. It has received numerous awards, including the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama and a total of thirty-eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including two for Outstanding Drama Series. The show’s ratings have fallen over the course of its run, but it is still one of the highest-rated shows among the 18–49 demographic, and the #3 drama on all of broadcast television in the United States. It was the highest revenue-earning show on television in terms of advertising in the 2007–08 season; in 2017, it was ranked tenth on the list. The cast has undergone major changes throughout the series’ run, including four characters from the original cast who left the show during its sixteenth season. Since its inception, the show has been described by the media outlets as a television \”phenomenon\” or a \”juggernaut\”, owing to its longevity and dominant ratings.
In its fifteenth season, Grey’s Anatomy ranked as ABC’s highest- ratings drama. It shows drama and emotions focused on Meredith’s life. Although the series is set in Seattle, it is filmed primarily in Los Angeles, California. It follows the life of Meredith Grey, the daughter of esteemed general surgeon Ellis Grey, starting from her acceptance into the surgical residency program at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital. During her time as a resident, Grey works alongside fellow physicians Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, Alex Karev, and George O’Malley, who each struggle to balance their personal lives with hectic schedules and stressful residency requirements. In addition to Addison Montgomery, the surgical wing is primarily supervised by Addison’s ex-wife, neonatal and fetal surgery and the head of OBGYN, Callie Callie Torres. During the first 6 seasons, Burke, O’Malley, and Stevens all depart the series; Erica Hahn, who leaves Seattle for New York at the end of the twelfth season; Erica Torres, who marries Arizona Robbins; and Richard Webber, who later becomes head of pediatric surgery and maternal fetal surgery. The original cast consisted of nine star-billed actors: Pompeo and Sandra Oh. At the start of the sixth season, the series had a large ensemble of fourteen actors—including four characters, including Justin Chambers and T.R. Knight. The current cast consists of 14 actors.
