    • Trivia
      At the table read for the pilot, Shonda Rhimes told Bellamy Young that her arc on the show would only consist of four to five episodes before Young's character would be written off.
    • Goofs
      Washington, D.C. rarely appears to have a winter. When the plot happens during a winter, often characters will wear light outdoor clothing, there is no trace of snow on the ground, and the sun doesn't rise late and set early.

    Great series
    I really love this series and think the acting and story are terrific!

    My only complaint is that more often than not it seems as though someone hit the fast forward button. Most of the actors speak so fast that it is difficult to follow and I am constantly rewinding to catch what they said. Also, the picture is at times too dark.

    It would be much better if they could slow the pace just a little. It really does seem as though the actors are being timed to see how fast they can say their lines.

    The casting of the characters is very good and I hope the show stays on the air for many years.
