Treating Grey’s Anatomy with the dignity it deserves

In Grey's Anatomy
I’m just kind of psychologically preparing for the onslaught of programming that’s about to come my way. Over the summer, while I’ve often struggled to come up with things to blog about, I’ve also enjoyed my time untethered from the television. With no Grey’s Anatomy to catch up on or Eli Stone to play in the background, I’ve been able to live life again (and my liver is not happy with me).
However, the autumnal chill finally hit today and now I realize that next week we’ll all be privy to the endless romantic sagas of Seattle Grace Hospital. From the anxiety of our favorite charisma vacuum Meredith Grey to the newfound lesbionic urges of Drs. Torres and Hahn, we’ve got a lot of melodrama to plod through.
But for this season, I really don’t know if I can dignify Grey’s Anatomy with a well thought-out blog post on a semi-regular basis. I mean, I love that TiFaux can often serve as a bridge between high and low culture — whenever anybody does that, it’s my favorite — but it’s hard to critically examine a soap opera of this nature when you kind of hate all the characters and the plotlines have been spinning and weaving for ages.
How do you seriously address this?
On that note, my coverage of Grey’s Anatomy this season will be exclusively in LOLGreys. Perhaps I’ll be inspired to do a few one-offs based on real opinions I feel the urge to thrust upon the Internet, but I generally think that gramatically incorrect, childlike ruminations superimposed on dramatic photographs will suffice.
Like this:
HAAAAAA. Oh, I like this. Perhaps we can have companion coverage of the most idiotic things the Grey’s writers post over on their blog. Although that would mean someone would have to read that self-obsessed drivel, and I don’t wish that on you, Danny.
