Previous Entry Share Next Entry Calliou’s Anatomy  I have two
television thoughts to share.  I’ve been watching Grey’s Anatomy
on Netflix, which is a not-as-terrible-as-I-thought Knitting
Show. Knitting Shows are ones I am not a fan of per se, but are
mild and pleasant enough to knit to. Mostly procedurals, which I
cannot watch without something to do with my hands. My attention
wanders. Anyway. I’m in season 2 and it’s not half bad.  But the
title sequence makes me crazy.  The difference between Grey’s
Anatomy and ER is pretty much that there are a handful more
women on the show. It’s the same medical drama format that has
been used since St Elsewhere and probably before. Slightly more
protagonist-centered, but it’s Scrubs without jokes, the same
interns-in-crisis thing that’s been making money on TV for
years.  But the title sequence is basically: show medical thing,
show girly thing. Lather, rinse repeat. Show clamps/forceps,
show eyelash curl
