Grey's theology

The popular TV show touts short-lived community as a rare and precious cure | Marvin Olasky

"Grey's Anatomy is currently the #1 television show in the universe." That's what the buddytv.com website announced with some exaggeration, but at least in the United States Grey's reigns supreme: Over 19 million households gravitated to its last show in February, putting it temporarily ahead even of American Idol.

And many Grey's viewers are intense. Proliferating blogs devoted to the show include comments like these: "I'm so excited for tomorrow night! I seriously cannot wait for this episode! . . . 28 hours left! I cannot wait for Thursday!"

One homeschooling mom wrote, "I am totally freaked out. . . . I saw Mer 'die.' She has to live right?!? She'll live—I mean the show is 'her' show right? They couldn't kill her off right?"
