Description of show

The article states that "Grey's Anatomy is the longest-running scripted primetime show currently airing on ABC, and the longest scripted primetime series carried by ABC." This appears redundant, as "show" and "series" are synonymous. Additionally, given the link in the former to the longest-running television shows overall, it still falls behind Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order (*in context of the original run of the series, without including the latest 3 seasons), Gunsmoke, The Simpsons (which I include because it is included in that linked article, which does not differentiate between live action and animated series, inasmuch as it does not differentiate between televised and radio shows in the case of Gunsmoke), and others. Having said that, is there any suggestion or opinion on possibly rephrasing this to more accurately contextually this. Stating it is the longest running show and series on the same network is, as I said, redundant. Perhaps clarify the former ("show") to state "longest running scripted medical series" without the addressing of ABC and/or the linkage to the longest-running shows Wiki article? The reason I post this as a "Talk" entry is that I always prefer to talk about changes this way before I make them, in order to avoid someone becoming upset that a minor contextualization change was made for clarity.

GLAAD Media Award Nominations and Wins

I noticed in the "Accolades" section that there is no mention of the show having numerous GLAAD award nominations and wins. I think it would be a relevant addition since the show has been nominated for "Outstanding Drama Series" 11 years in a row starting from 2010. Mentioning this will illustrate the series' impact stemming from its continuous open support and representation of the LGBTQ+ community as well.

Correction: Nominated for 8 consecutive years from 2010-2017, as well as 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024. And a win in 2012. EvelinaGalimova (talk) 03:02, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Details About why Justin Chambers and Sandra Oh Left the Show

In the "Casting" section, some information about character departures include the actor's reasoning behind leaving the show. But this is not included with Sandra Oh's or Justin Chambers's character. I would like to add this to maintain uniformity. EvelinaGalimova (talk) 03:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Dempsey leaving

One thing that could be added to the article is why Dempsey left the show. He left the show wanted to spend more time with his family. We could also add why other actors decided to leave the show. Averyschuster (talk) 07:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Derek dies in season

One edit that could be added is how Derek dies in the show. He was brain dead from a car accident and then his wife decided to end life support. Averyschuster (talk) 07:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Season 21

Hi All

I've added cites to the ABC announcement for the renewal of Greys Anatomy for a 21st Season. Being a noob, I can't manage to create the additional page, specifically for the new season, and add this to the tables.

May be too early, I'll leave this with someone else!
