Grey's Anatomy... LIVE!
Now that the Writers strike is over, we Grey's fans can't wait for our next fix... er... episode. Well, apparently the writers are so excited there's word of a LIVE show. On February 14th - Valentine's Day - creator Shonda Rimes showed fans a little love and got everybody excited about the next installment called, "Good Medicine." But then ... I had such a let-down. I got all excited thinking we were going to get to see something either really cool or really bad - but either way it was going to be "Grey".. and naw. It's not. It's a fundraiser for all those people who didn't make any money while the writers were walking the picket line. Shonda says:
"For one night only, the casts of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice are coming together for a live performance! An unforgettable evening of laughter and song to benefit crew members who were affected by the strike. ... FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY, February 29, 2008 at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles, CA we are presenting GOOD MEDICINE. A little singing, a little funny, a lot of raising money." Tickets are $85 on Ticketmaster.com blah blah blah.
I can't help but recognize the irony here. The writers' battle over money ended up creating collateral damage by hurting others financially. This must be kiss-and-makeup time. Anyway. I digress. I'm actually glad they're trying to do something for the crew people types.
Bottom line: We won't get a new show until the end of April.
Stay tuned.
