Sure, Grey’s Anatomy was a big hit, but was it good TV?(Extract from the article ) ....... Around this time, original cast members started departing the show as well, and this turned into an unexpected asset. With the dead weight of those original storylines out of the picture, the show could begin creating fun, new characters, which has always been a strength of the series. There’s yet to be a season of Grey’s that doesn’t introduce someone who feels vital to the ensemble by season’s end, and it’s easy to sense that’s by design. The show has been responsible for so many great characters—Yang, Chandra Wilson’s hard-nosed but affectionate Bailey, Kevin McKidd’s intensely wounded trauma surgeon Owen Hunt, Sara Ramirez’s warm-hearted Callie Torres, Jessica Capshaw’s Arizona, Sarah Drew’s April, and Justin Chambers’ Alex and on and on—and what’s amazing is how many of them weren’t present in season one. Most TV shows introduce a handful of vital new characters in later seasons. Grey’s has introduced seemingly dozens. .....

Posting here as it is pertinent of Grey's future, not only S10 ------------------------------- 'Grey's Anatomy' Isn't Ending Anytime Soon; ABC Exec Sees Show Continuing For 'Many, Many Years' Relax, "Grey's Anatomy" fans -- the ABC medical drama isn't going anywhere. "We would like to see it on our network for many years," ABC president Paul Lee said at the Television Critics Association Summer 2013 press tour on Sunday. "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey recently indicated he may be weary of his role on the drama, saying in promotional material for his new racing miniseries "Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans" that "Grey's" has "the same storyline over and over." Dempsey later clarified his remarks and though he didn't necessary say he would be leaving "Grey's," the actor told HuffPost TV that he "would race full-time if [he] could right now." Whatever happens to McDreamy in the future, Lee said that he thinks "Grey's" will "go on for many, many years to come," despite the fact that ratings for the show, which is now entering its tenth season, have dropped off. Noting that creator Shonda Rhimes would "yell at" him if he divulged what cast changes and twists might be in the future for "Grey's," Lee emphasized that the drama is doing fine for ABC ratings-wise, especially when DVR usage is factored in (the show picks up 2.5 million additional viewers when other platforms are added, Lee said). "Shonda is an extraordinary creative force," Lee said. "She is certainly planning" many seasons in advance, he added. article: www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/04/greys-anatomy-isnt-ending_n_3704546.html
