I was first alerted to the show by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kemintiri and another mutual friend, who reckoned I'd love it. They're right, I do. I finally caught an episode or 4 when S1 started broadcasting here. And got hooked. And then promptly started the downloading etc. So hooked am I that when I got the DVDs of S1, I didn't start watching the eps I hadn't seen, I watched all four episodes I had seen again, first. And enjoyed 'em all over again.
That's the sign of a deep addiction folks :)
It's a cross between ER and Peyton Place, which would normally send me running, screaming, from the TV, but tight scripts and terrific cast have kept me watching and falling in love with all the characters. The characters aren't all that likeable, they're all deeply flawed, in many ways, but they all have enough redeeming features that you keep watching. Oddly enough, it's the lead character that's the least likeable of all, which is ok, it gives them somewhere to go with development and storylines. And anyway, the back up cast more than compensates.
Doesn't hurt there's there's eye candy for all, either :)
Anyway, the real reason I'm posting, apart from to say "Go watch it! Watch it NOW!!", is there was just an exchange that had me howling out loud with laughter, to the point that the cat was ready to bolt from sofa. The back story is complicated, but the short version is as follows. Married residents, McDreamy and Addison, have recently been split after she cheated on him with McDreamy's best friend. They're now back together in Seattle (where the show is set) and patching things up. In this episode, Mark, the Other Man, appears at the hospital and promptly puts the moves on a female doctor. McDreamy comes out of nowhere and punches the man out.
Cut to scene in front of the Chief Surgeon.
Chief: Someone want to tell me what happened out there.
*McDreamy stares meaningfully at wife*
Addison: I uhh..*explanation of back story* ...caught me in bed with him
*pause*
Chief, leans close to McDreamy: You hit him full strength, right?
McDreamy: right.
Chief: Then we're all right here...*walks out*
:D
I laughed :P
