| | Grey's Anatomy - The Complete First Season DVD (7 Customer Reviews)
The complete first season on DVD. Special features include "Anatomy of a Pilot," behind-the-secens, trailer, cast and creator audio commentaries, more. For viewers bored or distressed by the constant gore and breakneck speed of hospital dramas like ER, GREY'S ANATOMY comes as a breath of fresh air. Unlike other shows set in the world of medicine, this series is just as concerned with its characters' personal lives as with their medical careers, and thrives by stressing the way in which they intertwine. After all, for surgical interns who have chosen to dedicate their lives to medicine, the hospital largely becomes their home. Extremely well-written, the series mixes serious issues like mortality with funny storylines and wit. Each character is well developed and individualized, coming off as real rather than a stereotype. The relationships between the characters are what make the show unique, with interesting bonds developing like the one between vulnerably hardheaded Christine (Sandra Oh in an Emmy Award-winning role) and the show's main protagonist Meredith (Ellen Pompeo). Self-pitying, stubborn, selfless, and determined all at the same time, each character plays a crucial role in the show's pleasing ensemble feel. Rather than standing on its own, each medical challenge sheds some light on the doctors' personal experiences, bringing the hospital environment to a refreshingly relevant level. While the series may not be the most realistic medical drama on television, it is certainly the most compelling and entertaining, containing such juicy plotlines as love triangles, affairs between coworkers, and secret crushes and romances. A thoughtful soundtrack full of indie artists like Rilo Kiley helps give the show its youthful tone, while narration by Ellen Pompeo's character highlights each episode's themes, helping to bridge the gap between the show's lighthearted issues and more somber ones. This release contains every episode from the show's highly addictive first season.

Grey's Anatomy - The Complete First Season Movie Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews amazing
If you haven't seen the show start from the beginning you can see how it all starts. From the very first scene in the first episode you will get hooked. I can't wait for season two to come out. The show makes you feel like you are a part of it. I just can't wait for a certain couple to finally realize that they only care for each other and will stop being complicated. Can't give away who if you haven't seen. But if you have thought about buying the DVD then get it. You won't regret it.

The Best "Hospital" Show on TV
Grey's Anatomy brings the best of everything one could want in a TV program. There's a good balance of drama, comedy, and romance combined with great acting and writing. Grey's always picks up where it left off so-to-speak in that though the characters' dilemmas continue from one show to the next, they encounter multiple medical situations which may make them rethink how they're handling their personal lives. Shows like "Grey's" and "House" omit the blood and gore element on a weekly basis and opts for depicting a more human side of life in a hospital through the eyes of patients & physicians. However, from time to time Grey's is quick to pull you back from laughter to let you know that not everyone lives happily ever after or even lives at all at the end and that unfortunate aspect is acknowledged in such a way that it's not always "bloody" but it is most often sad. Giving in to that particular truth will leave you with at least 5 minutes of reflection after this 60 minute work of art.
