ER Versus Grey’s Anatomy - Which One’s Better?
By Demetri. Filed in Drama Shows, Grey's Anatomy |
I’m a long time fan of ER - I have been watching it since the very first episode in 1994. ER is an Emmy Award-winning American medical drama series created by the late novelist Michael Crichton and airing on NBC. It is set primarily in the emergency room of fictional County General Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. It is produced by Constant c Productions and Amblin Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television Production, Inc. It is probably one of the most thought provoking, action packed, funniest shows I have ever and will ever watch. So, ya I am a big ER fan. But I have also watched Grey’s Anatomy as well. Grey’s Anatomy is an American prime time medical drama. It debuted on ABC as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal on March 27th, 2005, immediately following Desperate Housewives. The title of the show is inspired by the classic medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy.
The series revolves around Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo, who began the show as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital in Seattle, Washington. Both sound like awesome shows right? Well they are! As for which is better? I think that depends on you. Personally, I like ER better. But I am biased because as aforementioned I “grew up” watching ER. I went through the deaths, the leaves, and the sicknesses. Funny how much a show can mean to you, isn’t it? Maybe to some people they can disconnect themselves. But for me? Dr. Green made me cry (especially the flashbacks). It sucked when Abby decided to leave. And you always felt really bummed when you missed an eppie on accident! As for Grey’s Anatomy, you know we all love McDreamy and McSteamy, and watching all of them co-habit the hospital can just be plain hilarious. For me, watching Grey’s is like being back in high school. If that makes sense, then you know exactly where I’m coming from. And if not, then you must have skipped school a lot!
Personally, for anyone out there, I would say don’t get involved with ER. Because after many years it is finally ending! Although you could always go ahead and rent the old DVDs on Netflix or something! However, Grey’s is probably going to be around for a while! So if this is something that you like - action/comedy/drama all wrapped up into one in a hospital type show - I say Grey all the way! One really cool thing you can do to find out more about Grey’s Anatomy is to visit a few TV blogs available online. These are completely free and you can get to know all your Grey friends, who they are, where you have seen them before, show previews, etc. I highly recommend these types of sites! They can become incredibly addicting just like that of your prime time TV show addictions!
