Grey's Anatomy Season 2 Posted by CK-Auctions

Posted by CK-Auctions

I didn't want to like Grey's Anatomy, I really and truly didn't. I felt like I'd fought it off successfully, deflected its charms in its abbreviated first season, a handful of episodes (a mere nine) that didn't make too much of an impact – but it came back for a second, longer season, one with a leisurely time frame in which to explore the tangled loves and lives of the quirky, often bitingly sarcastic characters created by Shonda Rhimes (whom I'm just now forgiving for writing Britney Spears' ill-fated cinematic bomb Crossroads). I could hold out – I still won't admit to fully embracing this guilty Sunday (as of Sept. 21, Thursday) night pleasure, but I don't run screaming as soon it comes on either; Grey's Anatomy isn't life-changing television, but you could definitely do worse with an hour of your time. Admittedly, Ellen Pompeo is a slight choice with which to anchor a sudsy drama such as this, but somehow, it works – as the lovelorn Dr. Meredith Grey, Pompeo functions as the quiet eye of the hurricane, calmly narrating her winsomely cynical world views as life twists and turns in often surprising ways, unfolding day by day at Seattle Grace Hospital.

To say that Grey's Anatomy hit big in its second season would a bit of an understatement – the show went from "Who?" to "Wow!" in the span of just a few weeks; fans who had a taste of the snappy banter, palpable chemistry and stuffed-to-bursting storylines (replete with bosom-heaving, will-she-won't she, unrequited love) clamored for more and along with "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost," became part of ABC's breakout trifecta. Boasting a cast brimming with energy and well-suited to their roles, Grey's Anatomy not only served as a comeback vehicle for Eighties heartthrob Patrick Dempsey, but also a showcase for the exceptional acting talents of Sandra Oh and Isaiah Washington, as well as a proving ground for largely untested up-and-comers T.R. Knight, Katherine Heigl, Justin Chambers and Pompeo herself, whose pre-Grey's resume is littered with bit parts and one-off TV roles, who has blossomed into a low-key, unassuming star.

With more than double the episodes allotted to the creative team this season, the world of Grey's Anatomy expanded considerably, opening itself up to story arcs that just wouldn't be possible within the span of nine episodes – the engine driving this second season is the McDreamy love triangle: Dr. Derek Shepherd, sort-of-not-really-estranged from his headstrong wife Addison, pines for the lovely young intern Meredith Grey, who falls head over heels for the good doctor. Emotional rawness and uncertainty lead to a season-long tug-of-war that ebbs and flows, serving as the backbone of the other, equally compelling arcs – the other interns fall in and out of bed, learn hard lessons and work to please the irascible Dr. Miranda Bailey (a winning Chandra Wilson), the physician in charge of these up-and-coming caregivers. With a few moments of "ER"-level gore and kinetic set pieces, the medical aspect of the show is given equal play with affairs of the heart; there are sequences that might leave the more squeamish unsettled, but those scenes are fleeting, lending just enough veracity to ground the show in a tangible realism.

Grey's - Season 2 another "Can't Turn it Off!"

Grey’s Anatomy – Season Two still packs plenty of medical emergencies, romantic love triangles, and comedy to make the second season worth watching. There were points tin the season and episodes that made you think "Huh?" and "Why?" but overall it is worth picking up

Grey’s Anatomy is a great blend of comedy and drama. The first season had just the right mixture of good storytelling and strong performances from its cast. It was easily one of the best debut shows of the year. With some weaker moments, season two does falter a bit, but not enough to lose the show’s audience or disappoint fans.

The series’ strength continues to be its ensemble cast and the quirky characters they create. Although the show’s main character is Meredith Grey, it is the side characters George, Cristina, and Izzie (loved her in Rosewell!) that make the series really work. Not to mention the doctors they work with – including the domineering Dr. Bailey; the surgeon with a God complex Dr. Burke; the chief who knows everything that happens in his hospital Dr. Webber; and McDreamy Dr. Derek Shepherd.

Season two also turned up the heat a bit with Meredith having to deal with the return of McDreamy’s wife and the aftermath of their relationship; Izzie falling for a patient (where the show starts to jump the shark in my opinion); George dealing with his feeling for Meredith and possibly finding a new love; and Cristina trying to balance work and life with Dr. Burke.

While the second season did lose some of the momentum of the debut season, the show continues to be enjoyable thanks to its cast. All of the actors are excellent in the show, and their characters continue to be the main reason to watch. I would recommend the season two set to anyone who enjoyed the series on television.

Grey's Anatomy season 2- not with too many features!

This is a fantastic series about a group of first year interns in a Seattle hospital. For the dvd Four of the episodes get an extended treatment, the rest are as you saw them the first time. I was sad that more of the actors didn’t do their turn on the commentary. The writers and producers are there for the episodes and for one episode "The Doctors are In," the actors answer fan questions.

Grey's Anatomy is one of the best shows I have seen in a Television world filled with way too many reality shows. I will be the first to admit I have never really been in to medical shows. I bought the first season of this DVD set for a couple of reasons. First because I knew it stared Katherine Heigl who stared in one of my favorite Tv shows Roswell, and secondly because I kept hearing buzz and saw how many positive reviews it got here on amazon. Now Grey's Anatomy The Complete Second Season will be released on DVD this September. Grey's Anatomy is a show that has just the right amount of comedy mixed in with just the right amount of drama, and those two things along with the great cast take this far just beyond another medical TV show. This show just keeps you coming back for more. Along with Desperate Housewives and Lost, Grey's Anatomy is another welcomed addition and a great break from all those reality TV shows. According to the press release from Buena Vista/Disney The DVD set of Season 2 will include all 27 episodes on a 6 DVD set, (presented in widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound) and will include the Bonus Materials below.

*Three Extended Episodes: Exclusive to the DVD are scenes too steamy for TV.

***WARNING: This show has been known to have it's viewers become highly addicted! Become highly addicted at your own risk!***

Season 2 of this most acclaimed hit tv show picks up pace compared to it's Season 1 counterpart. By now you know the characters, you know the show, and your getting in the nitty gritty of their lives. I enjoyed Season 2 much more than Season 1 simply for the fact that it was (unbelieveably) much more ENGAGING. Is that possible? Could this season attract viewers into it's grip much more so than it did in Season 1? I believe so!

Share in Izzy's hearbreak as she deals with the most gut wrenching loss of her life and how she copes with it through her quirkyness by baking. Yes, baking. Lots and LOTS OF BAKING.

Share in Meredith's life-threatning situation as she takes charge in an potentially explosive episode that changes the lives at Seattle Grace Hospital forever.

Can McDreamy and his cheating wife, Addison, make their marriage work? Can it work when he still harbors intense feelings for Meredith?

Follow George, a man lost in a world of females whom he wants and cannot have... or can he? Will poor Goerge ever find love with the woman of his dreams?

Only by watching Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy can you find out the answers to these questions, and MUCH more. It's, in my opinion, a most entertaining way to spend time.... getting to know the characters of Grey's Anatomy even better and the drama that takes place in their lives. Truly enjoyable and entertaining.
I watched the whole season in less than 2 days. It's THAT good.
