Welcome to Something for Nothing

People TV Watch reported that Brooke Smith is no longer going to be on Grey’s Anatomy after tonight’s episode.

The romance is over for Brooke Smith’s character on Grey’s Anatomy: the actress has abruptly been written out of the hit medical drama.
Smith, whose character Dr. Erica Hahn had just begun a lesbian affair with Sara Ramirez’s Dr. Callie Torres on the ABC show, told EW.com that Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes “just suddenly told me that they couldn’t write for my character anymore.” Adds Smith, “it was the last thing I expected.”
Smith’s last Grey’s appearance will be Thursday’s episode, but don’t expect any closure for her character. “My final scene is just me heading to my car,” says Smith. “I honestly don’t know what happens in the next episode.”

I must admit that I’m personally pretty glad. She kind of grew on me a little bit over time, but I really didn’t like her when she first showed up on the show. At the end of the day, the best part of her character were her and Yang fighting. That part I will miss. I wonder who they’ll get to replace her character. They’ll still need someone to do all the work on the hearts, no?

The past 2 days my wife and I were both just wanting Addison to move back to Seattle and Grey’s Anatomy. At least give us a cameo or something. I think we’d all love it.

The long wait is finally here. So You Think You Can Dance season 4 premiers tomorrow night with a killer 2 hour premier. The only problem that I have is that it overlaps with the finale of Grey’s Anatomy. It will be interesting to see how those 2 shows match up. At least they only overlap an hour. Dan Karaty described some of the changes for season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance:

You’re going to be seeing obviously some new musical performances, how we have guest recording artists come out there. We got a couple surprises in the bag, and a couple other performers that’ll be out there that’ll surprise you. And we’ve mixed up the audition dates this year and we’re doing new cities. Like Washington, D.C., which we’ve never done before. So we’re going to scope out some new and different talent out there.

Sounds pretty exciting. Let’s hope that it goes back to Season 2 which I think was the height of the show so far. Not that last year was bad, but season 2 was amazing.

A wonderful night of TV tomorrow.

I’ve finally taken the plunge and followed along a bunch of my friend bloggers that are doing The News Room. I really thought it was an interesting concept when I first saw it, but I wasn’t sure how well it would be executed and how profitable it will be. I must admit that I’m still a bit skeptical, but I figured I’d give it a try. I figure I also have a number of blogs and a couple have a pretty good amount of search engine traffic around TV related topics so maybe I could do pretty well with it.

In fact, my first New Room post is a video talking about Isaiah Washington getting the boot off the hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy. Take a look:

Well, I think it’s sad that Burke is gone. I liked his character and they had built some really good story lines around him. It’s unfortunate that he can’t speak freely without repercussions to his job. However, he is in the spotlight and so I guess it kind of makes sense that he needs to watch himself.

I think I might have problem with newsroom, because I don’t think that Wordpress.com supports it. I’ll have to try later and see. However, Wordpress.com is quite strict about what they allow to be posted on their site. I think that the embedded flash widget (at least that’s what it looks like) is probably not going to work. Not to mention some of the javascript functions. Did you hear me News Room? Wordpress.com would be great for you to tap into.

Tonight I was able to watch the Grey’s anatomy episode. I have to admit that it isn’t as captivating as it was last season. I’m quite disappointed. I’m not sure why. I think they just need to introduce some new characters that make the current characters more interesting.

The little girl that didn’t have pain was a really interesting story line. Having Izzy (however you spell it) stand outside the hospital was dumb. That’s crazy, unbelievable and boring. Tell her to get on with life or send her back to her room so we can stop wasting our time on her. Let her greeve in peace.

If you didn’t get a chance to see the show then you can see the Episode of Grey’s Anatomy online at ABC.

It’s still worth watching, but they need to step it up or it’s going the way of many other shows.
