That's a pretty good show (as I'm sure you know), notwithstanding how stupid the Meredith Grey character is. (Or maybe it's the actress. Ellen Pompeo sucks ass.)

I am not sure I can express how much it amuses me that you like Grey's Anatomy.

I can picture him watching it on his precious four poster bed with a box of kleenex and his penguin stuffed animal.*


*actual stuffed animal. Not ABBA's "stuffed animal".

Isn't it in keeping with the Cooper Mini, princess bed theme? I watched 90210 and Melrose Place too.

I got a barber shave as a gift. Face and head. I thought it would be the best shave of my life. Turns out, no one can shave your face better than you. And although I didn't have a problem with cuts, the shave was nowhere near as close as one done with a Mach 3 or Gillette whatever. Very disappointing, although the warm shaving cream and hot towels were nice.

I got a shave from a local fancy men's barber shop. They used several hot towels and some fancy shaving cream. A woman did the shave, and she used a Mach 3 razor. She did several passes, going with the grain at first, then against, and maybe even across. My face was smoother than it's ever been. The next morning, I didn't shave, and I still looked like I had a closer shave than if I had shaved on my own. But later that day, the itching started, and razor burn set in not long after that. My face was pretty irritated for a couple of days.

Why don't men get their faces waxed?

I'm going to get mine lasered. (Or "lay zerred.")

Yes, but it's much more than watching 90210 or Melrose Place.

How so? It's ER meets Melrose. Hell, what could be worse than that?

You watched ER????

Grey's Anatomy seems more adult-female-centric than any of the shows you mentioned. 90210 was high school; Melrose Place was more or less high school and just campy; ER had well-developed male characters with compelling (uh, for TV) issues of their own.

Much more. I mean, I agree with Coltrane's mental image, but add to that Thurgreed sitting cross-legged on his four-poster bed, braiding one of his doll's hair, and texting his friend Antonio about whether the resident should dump the doctor (or whatever happens on this show), with the soundtrack to Hope Floats playing in the background.

you forgot his Mini-Cooper, sitting like a "zip-car" on the corner in its astronomically expensive parking spot outside of his apartment.

don't forget how baby smooth his face is, or how smooth he wants it to be at least.

ER meets Desperate Housewives, which is what Grey's anatomy will be in a couple of years.

I disagree on Melrose. It was a soap opera, just like Grey's. And it's campy now, looking back, but back then it was just another soap.

I do agree that the male characters are somewhat 2-dimensional -- basically, ideas of what women either think men should be like or are like. But I really liked Burke's character. I like George and I like the Chief. Hell, Alex is an interesting character as well. The McDreamy and McSteamy stuff is garbage, as was Izze's bed-ridden love interest.

I also like Christina, who is not your typical character. Izze is fine.

But what I really like about the show is that the minority characters aren't so stereotypical. They're just like everyone else, but they aren't written by a white guy who is trying to make them like everyone else, you know what I mean? And they are in positions of authority, without being the typical let's-throw-a-black-woman-in-as-judge-who-says,-"I'll-allow-it,-but-you're-on-a-short-leash,-counselor" type character.
