Station 19 and Grey’s Anatomy

Jordan2 — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 00:47:14 GMT

First of all I wonder why the two shows flipped time slots, which show benefits from it? Last show all of a sudden Jo had dark hair, no one even mentioned, love the new hair color! Okay now to get down to why I started this thread, what’s with all the crossing over of the two shows? I loathe when shows do cross overs, it’s a way to get you to watch a show that you may not watch with hopes you’ll tune in regularly. I have purposely not watched a show I’m a regular viewer of because I don’t want to watch the other show ( this has happened with Law & Order SVU and Supergirl which actually was involved in a four show crossover). Must they do this every week, it’s enough already ( ABC should put a pin in Grey’s Anatomy it’s dying a slow death).

@Jordan2 I made the decision to not watch S19 but was forced to a couple of times when they had crossover shows. The one they did last season when the captain died and his fiancee was so devastated really drew me in but still I had no intention of adding another show to my watch list. Fast forward to this season and that fiancee, Vick, really got over that death quickly and has moved on to Jackson on Grey's. Okay with that because I hated him with Maggie but as you stated since S19 returned every show has become a two-part event.

Since Grey's has already been renewed I don't think this change was for its benefit. Whatever the reason I also don't like it. Guess it will stop when HTGAWM returns in April.

I still love Grey's Anatomy. I'll really miss it when it's gone.

I've watch S19 only because of the cross over shows.

@Mary Bailey I love Grey's too. I tried Station 19, but it just doesn't work for me.

I do watch the crossover episodes & it's ok.

I don't hate Station 19, but I don't like it enough to add it to my list.

I think it's to draw in viewers to Station 19. For some reason I was under the impression it's not doing too well. I think Grey's is doing fine on it's own. I did watch one crossover one time and I just don't like that show and have found I am just fine watching just Grey's. I can figure out what must have happened in the S 19 episode.

ETA: @Tique and any other GH watchers, it appears "Britt" from GH is in this episode. maybe she's a regular, I don't know.

I hate the time switch! I'm adjusting to a new t v and the programs were not in order, confusing! I understand why they did the first one that way. The car rhat crashed into the bar where they all were made sense. They had to go to the hospital later.
I thought they would return to the old schedule.
I don't like either show now.

@Wsmom what makes you think I watch GH?

Sorry couldn't resist that. I think this week will be her third episode. She's married to a fire fighter and messing around with another one. I think they're in the same house but really trying not to know too much..

I don't watch Station 19 at all....I am a big Grey's Anatomy fan, been watching for many years, but I go to church on Thursday nights, so by the time I get home-Grey's is already on, so I miss Station 19 totally....

I don't need to add another show to my watch list.....I did watch a couple of episodes last season, and I just couldn't get into it...

I think its floundering, and by making so many episodes crossovers, they are trying to bring in a bigger audience!

I'm venting. Today's episode of Grey's was the conclusion of something that started on S19 although technically it was a standalone show. They don't have to keep using the doctors on Grey's to treat the people whose accidents/incidents started on S19. As long as S19 has been on, if it can't sustain whatever rating it needs to it should be canceled. At least next week they are being transparent and promoting it as a crossover.

i think the crossovers are good for both shows. it opens the door for more diverse plots and creativity. station 19 would need to be the 1st show, to set the drama of how something happened(bear attack) and grey's to cure,etc. the problem. i think both shows can stand alone. i've watched grey's from the beginning and will watch until the end. they have lost many characters and bounced back. if and when it's canceled i doubt the replacement will be as good, just more stupid sitcoms or singing and dancing.

The 2 shows are now literally now morphed into one, the characters are blended now and so are the stories, I do like Station 19, and like you said, almost forced into watching it. Ellen Pompeo is Exec Prod, that says it all.

Chi Med is having lots of crossovers now too with the other Chi shows, I only watch Med, so most of the time I dont watch their crossovers at all. Another one this Wed.

I may be in the minority here.

Now that I discovered it, I actually like Station 19 a bit better than Grey's. I don't mind the crossovers at all. I think of it as a 2 hour movie. The first hour is S19, and the second is Grey's.

I'm wondering if I missed something though. Do we know what's causing Sullivan's pain?

There was an episode a few weeks ago, where he went to see Dr Karasik at Grey Sloan, and evidently he has been treating him for a good while for a nerve disorder, he told him that was the final time he would refill his pain meds. I think he said he needs to stop working and Sullivan refused. It was either that or he told him he needed some kind of surgery and he refused, either way it would apparently end his career.

Last week Sullivan stole two vials of fentanyl. If an audit is done Warren could be in trouble. I was hoping this would be addressed in tonight's episode. There are a lot of unlikeable people on Station 19.

Not sure why this was promoted as a crossover. I haven't seen any of the same characters in either show. Oh that's right. Both shows were focused on the same night when there was a blizzard in Seattle.

ETA: The last five minutes of Grey's, they tied in the two shows.

@Tique: I agree there are several unlikeable characters on Station 19. I don't particularly care for Andy's father. He's supposed to be retired but continues to show up at the station and meddle in everything. Another is the female firefighter (don't know her name) who was romantically involved with the fire chief who passed away last season. She always seems to have a bad attitude.

I've noticed, in the last two episodes, the injuries are becoming more and more graphic. Last week, it was the bear attack. Last night, the guy with the gruesome foot injury... UGH!!! . And...on top of that, we were expected to stay tuned to Grey's Anatomy for the conclusion. I stopped watching after twenty minutes. Don't know if I'll watch again.

I've never watched Grey's Anatomy. I have watched Station 19 from the beginning but it's wearing very thin. I don't like the crossovers.

The dark haired woman on Station 19, her Dad was captain, was on Rosewood with Morris Chestnut.. Loved him but didn't care for her on that, and she's more annoying now.

I really dislike the blonde character, that was made captain.

I figured out that I don't like dealing with really intense people in my real life and these characters are beyond intense. I'm surprised they have the energy to fight a fire with all the hanky panky going on.

I do like Montgomery.

I like both shows. Next week on Greys we will get closure on the missing Dr Alex Karev, and he will be on the show, I assume it is his last episode.
