    Grey's Anatomy

    As someone who still watches let me assure you we all want it to come to an end. There was even a moment a few seasons ago where Meredith left and it seemed like we were set up for a perfect send off.

    But it just kept going. Meredith is weirdly sometimes back despite living in Boston. But next season is probably the last season, and I've watched it all at this point, so what's a little more. Right?

    (It's also still fine as background TV, so that's probably why I still keep up.)

    I'm confused why that show was lumped in. Do their syringes use cubic inches?

    It's just been on the air for a really long time. I wanna say 15-20 years? Something like that?

    It's in because, well, I was surprised that Grey's Anatomy is in its 22nd season.

    Its interesting that interactions here center on the one pop-culture element of my comment and none on the others. Yes, it's a non-sequitur. It stands out.

    Is it because the others are all self-evident? Flogged to death? Too controversial? Not controversial enough? Insurmountable?

    Wait, what's wrong with Hugh Jackman?

    I personally find nothing wrong with him, that's why I put it in quote format.

    It's an old Scrubs quote by Dr. Cox, who would rattle down long lists of things he dislikes or that he finds wrong with the world in general, ending it with: "... and Hugh Jackman."

    The comment above mine reminded me of this.

    I remember reading an old interview back in the day with John C. McGinley where he explained the reason his character hates Hugh Jackman is that the show's creator, Bill Lawrence, didn't want to punch down. So he chose the most talented actor he could think of, Hugh Jackman.
