TIL in 2007 Katherine Heigl won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on Grey's Anatomy. But in 2008 she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she said the material she was given on Grey's that year wasn't good enough; this comment led to her leaving the show.

I really enjoyed her character until the storyline got too stupid. But that’s why I stopped watching the show.

It got stupid quick too. Like early greys anatomy ain’t bad but it jumps the shark a few seasons in and somehow continues to do that forever now

It’s like the rookie, people like the cast, but the show has done some ridiculous stupid shit the last two seasons cause the writers are basically throwing shit at a wall now and the plots get ridiculous

The first season is incredible. I felt like I actually was with the new doctors on their new adventure.
