From ABC's Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty to CBS' Survivor and NBC's ER and The Office, every season premiere that aired on Thursday disappointed, according to the Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog.
The two-hour premiere of Grey's Anatomy won the night with 18.3 million viewers but was down 18% from last year's premiere.

Diane Bi think for Grey's Anatomy, people got tired of the drama...same old same old...love lives that are so tangled up..looks like soap opera already...that's what happens when shows are sometimes based on the love lives of the characters, pretty soon you run out of story line...as to the office and ugly betty, ill think those shows will pick up...report abuseposted September 26, 2008 3:04 PM PDT
