The Show - Grey's Anatomy STUDIO BRIEFING TV: October 2, 2007 GREY'S IS GREENEST An average 30-second spot on ABC's Grey's Anatomy costs $419,000 -- making it currently the most expensive on primetime television, according to a survey by Advertising Age. The figure tops the $394,000 that spots on ABC's Desperate Housewives were being sold for last season. Because of slipping ratings, rates for Housewives dropped 31 percent to $270,000 this year, putting it at No. 4. The runner-up to Grey's during the current season is NBC's Sunday Night Football, where spots are going for $358,000. And although it, too, has been witnessing a ratings decline, The Simpsons came in at No. 3 with $315,000 per spot. Rounding out the top five, Heroes landed at No. 5 with $296,000. AdAge observed that come January, when American Idol returns, spots on the talent show are expected to dwarf all others, fetching $500,000 to $700,000 each. http://www.movieweb.com/tv/news/86/23186.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV Guide - Today's News: My Take - Oct 1, 2007 Grey's Anatomy Diagnosed with Distended Ad Prices - Grey's Anatomy is this TV season's most expensive show for advertisers to buy into, commanding on average $419,000 per 30-second spot, says an Advertising Age survey.

Meanwhile, George (T.R. Knight), who cheated on wife Callie (Sarah Ramirez) with best friend Izzie (Katherine Heigl), didn't pass his boards and has to repeat his intern year. And Alex (Justin Chambers) realized he had feelings for Ava (Elizabeth Reaser), the pregnant woman he rescued from the ferry crash. What's next: "I like the fact that the season begins with everyone being a little bit single," says Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes. Meredith and Derek's "emotional impasse" is going to resolve itself in a "very surprising way in the first episode," Rhimes promises. Though Callie will have her worst fears confirmed, Izzie won't be able to quit George. Former best buds McDreamy and McSteamy (Eric Dane) may reconcile now that Addison's left town. As for new faces, Derek shared a moment with Lexi (Chyler Leigh), who he didn't know was Meredith's little sis. If things don't work out with Mer, might he hook up with Lexi? "No way," says Rhimes. "If you know McDreamy at all you know that the moment he finds out that she is Meredith's half sister, he can't go there." But Lexi, a new intern, will definitely cause problems for poor Meredith. http://www.tvguide.com/special/fallpreview...eturning3a.aspx Secrets of TV’s Fall Favorites- Grey’s Anatomy: - Thursday September 6, 2007 -Where we left off: Sigh. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey)’s romance came to a halt. Cristina (Sandra Oh) fled her wedding, and Izzy (Katherine Heigl) declared her love for George (T.R. Knight). -After a year of melodrama, “we get back to comedy,” exec producer Krista Vernoff tells Us. For MerDer, “we have fun watching them move through their impasse.” -Will he keep flirting with her half sister and new intern, Lexie (Chyler Leigh)? “Everybody says, ‘Don’t sleep with McDreamy!” Leigh tells Us. -Plus, the staff learns about George’s affair, Cristina regroups after Burke (the fired Isaiah Washington)’s disappearance, and Ava (Elizabeth Reaser) returns to woo Alex (Justin Chambers). http://www.usmagazine.com/fall_tv_greys_anatomy Grey's Anatomy - EW.com - TV Preview - Friday, 7 September 2007 Listen up, Grey's Anatomy fans. Patrick Dempsey, like his McDreamy alter ego, feels your pain. ''The second half of the season went in a direction that was not satisfying to a lot of people.'' Indeed, he could be talking about that catastrophic ferry crash, Meredith's near-death experience, or Gizzie. But any grousing over plotlines was quickly overshadowed by the controversy surrounding the dismissal of Isaiah Washington (Preston Burke). Here, too, McDreamy is sympathetic. ''I think the whole thing is sad, a tremendous waste,'' says Dempsey. ''The character of Burke was exceptional, and it's too bad that character is no longer on TV.'' ........cont’d....... http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20054547_2...0054841,00.html US Magazine -25 August 2007 S4 Advertisement......nice! http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/g...ove/gascan1.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd213/g...ove/gascan2.jpg Disney Issues UPDATED Press Release With More Extras - August 17, 2007 http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=7867 'Greys Anatomy' Prepares for a Reboot - August 16, 2007 Grey's Anatomy pushed the envelope in its third season, resulting in the cavalcade of kudos handed down by the lords of the Emmys. As it comes into its fourth season, Grey's Anatomy sits on the verge of what has become a fad for drama series exiting their sophomore years. It is heading for a reboot. Grey's Anatomy will now be shifting into a whole new dramatic space, a new chief, a flock of new residents, and, of course, a flock of newly upgraded physicians.........cont’d......... http://www.buddytv.com/Greys-Anatomy.aspx Steve McPherson has Kevin Reilly's back - July 25, 02:47 PM Newly minted FOX Entertainment president Kevin Reilly probably doesn't need anyone to fight his battles for him. But if he did, his counterpart at ABC sounds like he'd be willing. Steve McPherson more or less called out new NBC boss Ben Silverman on Wednesday for his courting of sacked Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington and Silverman's I'm-just-the-new-guy line when, earlier in the press tour, he was asked about replacing Reilly. "Kevin Reilly is the guy who stood up for The Office against all opposition inside [NBC] and in essence made Reveille," the production company Silverman headed before taking his current job, McPherson says. "The idea that you'd be able to stand up there and say, 'I just got here'? Be a man." McPherson also shook his head when a reporter asked if he was surprised Washington found work (on NBC's Bionic Woman) so quickly after being let go from Grey's Anatomy. You know that story by now. "I think it's kind of humorous the way Ben talked about it," McPherson says. How so? "Listen -- you guys let him off the hook. That's your prerogative to do that. I think again, it was pretty obvious what went on there. And if he was in fact talking to [Washington] before he was available, then that's inducement to breach [contract]. So I don't know -- he's either clueless or stupid." McPherson says ABC has no intention to pursue any legal action regarding Washington, but he doesn't buy that Silverman wasn't aware of the very well-publicized situation involving the actor: "He didn't know what went on? Was he living in a cave?" McPherson also chuckles at NBC's assertion that Reilly wasn't fired. It's a common thing in Hollywood to be ambiguous when someone leaves a job, but McPherson says, "I think you guys got as good a laugh as I did." http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/20...-mcpherson.html ABC Spreads Out New Series - July 25, 2007 Network plans staggered rollout for fall http://www.zap2it.com/tv/news/zap-abcpremi...7,0,20914.story ABC executive session - plus: Lost's Perrineau is back! - TCA report - Jul 25th 2007 2:20PM http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/25/abc-exec...is-back-tca-re/ ABC Exec Calls NBC "Clueless or Stupid" About Isaiah - Jul 25, 2007 ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson says his counterpart at NBC, Ben Silverman, was either "clueless or stupid" in his remarks about hiring Isaiah Washington for a role on Bionic Woman. Silverman, in one of his first acts as the new cochairman of NBC's entertainment division, swooped up Washington for a six-episode stint on his network's new series after ABC decided not to keep the actor on Grey's Anatomy. ABC's decision was largely based on Washington's on-set use of a homophobic slur towards cast member T.R. Knight last October, which he repeated in front of the press at the Golden Globe Awards. Silverman told reporters at his July 16 session with the Television Critics Association that he had begun talking with Washington "before he became available" and said he was shocked when ABC decided to let him go. "When he told me he was available I was like, 'You are? Wait, I don't understand. What do you mean? You're a huge star on a star television show.'" he said. "I don't quite understand what had gone on there." McPherson told reporters Thursday after his TCA session that "if (Silverman) was in fact talking to him before he was available, that's inducement to breach. So I don't know, he's either clueless or stupid." As to Silverman saying he didn't understand the circumstances surrounding the firing of Washington, McPherson said: "Was he living in a cave?" — Reporting by Stephen Battaglio http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TV...-Says/800019286 Wednesday, July 25, 2007 ABC Television Network PRESS RELEASE - PRESS RELEASE - ENTERTAINMENT - ABC ANNOUNCES FALL PREMIERE DATES ABC ANNOUNCES FALL PREMIERE DATES Fall premiere dates for the 2007-08 Season were announced today for the ABC Television Network by Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment, including a three-night "Dancing with the Stars" premiere event, with two nights of performance shows leading into a special Wednesday night results show.

On Washington heading to NBC, Shonda Rhimes says, "He's a very talented actor. I hope he does very well on Bionic Woman." I waited two weeks for that?! 4:09 pm: Will the talking elevator be back on Private Practice? "I don't know. It's something we're still playing with." Translation: It's been muzzled! 4:10 pm: On the backlash to last season's final batch of Grey's eps, "I take really seriously what the fans say. I love that the fans feel this strongly about the show... Do I feel that we went wrong last season? No. It was the journey we were planning to take all along. Was it a darker journey? Yes." 4:12 pm: Rhimes "understands" the Gizzie backlash. "I'm not saying George and Izzie is the love story of the century. People make mistakes. Is this a mistake? Maybe, maybe not." 4:13 pm: No plans for a crossover between Grey's/PP. 4:18 pm: We interrupt this press tour session for BREAKING NEWS on David Greenwalt's sudden exit as show-runner of CBS' Moonlight: Sources just confirmed to me that the ex-Angel auteur bolted for medical reasons. Specifically, exhaustion. We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Private Practice session, already in progress. 4:21 pm: OMG -- someone check hell for icicles! Shonda Rhimes just gave us a spoiler! "We do see [Addison] tender her resignation to Richard in the first episode of Private Practice." 4:25 pm: A reporter just mispronounced Rhimes' first name, calling her Shondra. 4:26: Wow, Shonda has death-ray vision! Who knew? 4:32 pm: Chris Lowell signed on to PP before he knew VM's fate. "I only signed a one-year contract on Veronica Mars." 4:34 pm: Recent PP addition Kadee Strickland didn't see Wedding Bells' cancelation coming. Really? Nobody showed her the Nielsens? 4:39 pm: Rhimes acknowledges, "It was a difficult season for us behind the scenes." 4:42 pm: Rhimes' attention will be "evenly split" between Grey's and PP. 4:43 pm: Gaggle stampede -- and I'm leading the charge! http://community.tvguide.com/blog/TVGuide-...eport/700000049 Ausiello Report - 07/26/07 8:10 PM Shonda Rhimes Breaks Her Silence on Isaiah! That sneaky Shonda Rhimes tried to escape! I saw it with my own eyes. Immediately following the press tour panel for Private Practice, Rhimes -- while stepping down from the dais -- attempted to duck backstage before the gaggle stampede could swallow her up. There was just one problem: There was no backstage for her to head to. The black curtain she tried to penetrate was actually covering a wall. There was no way out. As a result, she was forced to answer direct questions about a topic that she has thus far been able to avoid (save for that brief statement last winter): Isaiahgate. Gotta give her credit, though. Once she realized her back was to the wall -- quite literally -- she handled the interrogation with candor and grace. How difficult was it for you to have to let Isaiah go, on a personal level? Shonda Rhimes: It wasn't. It was a decision that was a long time in coming, and it felt like it was the right decision for all of us. Given everything that transpired during the hiatus, did you feel the need to give the cast a pep talk on the first day back? Rhimes: No. They're a group of real professionals who really rose to the occasion last season, and really delivered some amazingly powerhouse performances at a time when we were all sort of having an emotionally hard time. So, I feel like, no, we're a family. Nobody needed a pep talk. So, the decision to fire Isaiah was not something that was imposed on you? Rhimes: The great thing about [ABC Studios head] Mark Pedowitz and [ABC president] Steve McPherson is they never imposed anything on me. So you agreed with the decision? Rhimes: Of course I did. Would you have written the season finale differently if that stuff hadn't happened during the season? Rhimes: I wrote the season-ender exactly as I planned to write the season-ender. What's kind of amazing is the season-ender finished the story of Preston Burke that really paid tribute to that character and the talent of Isaiah Washington in a way that made sense. But also went exactly where our show was planning to go anyway. You were quoted as saying it was disturbing the thought that one black actor could be replaced with another. Do you have any second thoughts about saying that, particularly in light of the recent recast on Private Practice? Rhimes: No, I think there's a point there. I think that Preston Burke, the character that audiences have come to know and love for three seasons, it's very different. And at a time which there was some talk of, 'Let's cast this actor or that actor... " sort of naming a bunch of black actors... as if the only thing that was important about the character of Preston Burke was his race. That was disturbing to me. It's a very different situation from the enhanced [two-hour episode of Grey's], which was our version of a pilot. Pilots get recast all the time. Ours just happened to air. It wasn't a matter of needing to find another black actor. It was a matter of, Audra McDonald is the person we want. Do you understand that there were people that interpreted this as you turning a homophobic incident into a racial incident? Rhimes: I do now. Absolutely. But I do think that [specific] discussion was disturbing to me -- as disturbing as the entire incident that happened for T.R. and Isaiah. In retrospect, do you wish you had spoken out sooner about the whole thing? Rhimes: Here's the thing. I know for you guys it's incredibly frustrating that I didn't say something. And I'm kind of sorry, because I know you guys have stories to tell. For me, the story we have to tell is the story of the show, and my instinct when something like this happened is to sort of close the doors and hunker down with people that are my family and protect them as much as possible. The outside world became far less important to me than those people that I work with every day. And making sure that those people that I work with are OK. I wasn't worried about the outside world. The outside world's not something that I can control. But the people I work with every day were. And I really was spending my time dealing with that, not dealing with whether or not I should make a statement. When was the moment when you realized, 'You know, we're going to have to make a change here?' Rhimes: Again, I feel like this is stuff that happened in our family, and I don't want to give specifics on sort of how and what happened. But there was a moment when I was sure and felt good and comfortable about the decision and that it was the right decision to be made for everybody. How are things between you and T.R. now? Rhimes: We're good. I feel like everybody is working really well together. T.R. is doing some amazing work. We're moving forward. We're excited about the stories we're telling this season. It feels like they're fresh... and we're going with the idea that we want to have a little bit more fun this season. There seems to be a lot of in-fighting at Grey's. Do you think you can do anything differently in terms of managing that set? Rhimes: Well, I don't know. I've never run a television show before, so I only know one way to run a television show, which is: you have an enormously talented group of people; you become enormously popular way faster than you ever thought was going to happen; and then you swim. Switching gears, were you surprised by the strong reaction to George/Izzie? Rhimes: I had a strong reaction to George and Izzie. A strong negative reaction? Rhimes: I wasn't sure I was ready for it. I don't think anybody's ready for it. I don't know if George and Izzie are ready for it. He's married, and she said some really harsh things. I feel like if you follow our characters you know that they're flawed, they're human, they make mistakes. Sometimes mistakes are the absolute right decision and sometimes mistakes are the absolute wrong one. It's a really interesting relationship to explore. Now that Shonda has spilled her two cents, it's your turn. Are you satisfied with her answers? Sound off below! http://community.tvguide.com/blog/TVGuide-...eport/700000049 "Grey's Anatomy: Season 4" Production Begins - Thursday, July 12, 2007 Production on the 4th season of ABC's mega-hit "Grey's Anatomy" has begun in Los Angeles today, the network says in a press release.

The title refers to the contents of the set, which includes 4 extended and un-cut episodes among the bonus material, exclusive to the DVD set. Other bonus material includes a chance to join “McDreamy,” Patrick Dempsey on the race track for a look at his hobby, a sharing of favorite moments by the cast and crew, audio commentaries, and “Prescription for Success” which follows the integration of a new character into a show that’s already been around for two seasons. On top of that, you get the full 25 episode-season and, unless something significant happens, your last chance to see the full, original cast in place.

The studio is taking the unusual step of announcing all its upcoming marquee TV-DVD releases at once and packing into them a wealth of novel extras, from Spanish-language audio tracks to a virtual fashion show, extended and bonus episodes and unaired story lines. The highlight: Season 3 sets of top-rated shows "Lost," "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy." Breaking tradition, each set gets a special name, similar to special editions of movies. Lori MacPherson, GM North America at Buena Vista Home Entertainment, said the studio wants to create "the biggest TV-DVD event this fall." She and her team also are cognizant of the growing popularity of single-episode downloads and want to differentiate complete-season TV-DVD sets as much as possible. "Sure, fans want DVDs to catch up on missed episodes, but it's our goal to include so much collectible bonus materials that the DVDs themselves become something not to be missed," she said. A week later, on Sept. 11, comes "Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Third Season -- Seriously Extended Edition," a seven-disc set with all 25 episodes, four of them extended exclusively for the DVD release. Other bonus features include a one-on-one with series star Ellen Pompeo, a visit to the race track with star (and race-car enthusiast) Patrick Dempsey, cast and crew members' favorite scenes and audio commentaries.

As reporters met with McPherson at ABC headquarters this a.m., the most-asked question was about Grey's Anatomy's on-set scandal, and whether Isaiah Washington or TR Knight might be leaving the show. The answers ranged from, "At this point, nothing's been decided," to "The show will return in tact next season," to "Most of the cast will return." Call it a hunch, but something tells me a main cast member may indeed be leaving--or at the very least, left cliff-hanging at the end of the season The Upfronts: ABC - Posted May 15th 2007 http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/05/15/the-upfronts-abc/ “Grey’s Anatomy” The award-winning drama follows the interconnecting relationships of Seattle’s hottest doctors who live life to its fullest amid the daily life-and-death stakes of their jobs. It’s the drama and intensity of medical training mixed with the funny, sexy, painful lives of interns who are discovering that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white. Real life only comes in shades of grey. “Grey’s Anatomy” has established a strong presence on Thursday night, winning its 9 o’clock time period and qualifying as Thursday’s No. 1 TV show across each of the adult demographics. It’s the highest-rated scripted show on all of television this season with key adults. http://www.abcmedianet.com/specials/u/docs...p07_release.pdf Edited by oncetherewasaway, Oct 20 2008, 12:22 PM.
