Lentorama 2022: It Happened on Easter

Day 10: Grey's Anatomy premiers

Filling the Sunday timeslot of Boston Legal, which had just completed its first season, Grey's Anatomy debuted on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2005. It was fairly well-received before blossoming into a bona fide hit in its second season. It helped that it aired in the slot after Desperate Housewives and was female-forward enough to hold that show's viewers and bring in younger viewers as well.

What was probably not expected is that the young women who first flocked to the show can now watch it with their daughters. The show is the longest running primetime medical drama in US TV history, and will extend that with a 19th season in 2022-23.
