Grey's Anatomy has been (falsely) pegged as show primarily for the female population. This is patently ridiculous. There are female story lines to be sure, but there are also decidedly male-oriented story lines. This all is indicative of a larger issue regarding the pigeon-holing of television programs seemingly geared towards a certain demographic even when they really aren't. Grey's Anatomy is a perfect example of a TV show that has been unfairly characterized as a show only for women and reluctant boyfriends.

Grey's Anatomy, of course, doesn't really have to worry about this issue because its popularity is enormous already. But, think how much higher the ratings could possibly be if ABC took the time to show the typical American male that Grey's Anatomy is an all-gender show.

Grey's Anatomy isn't a romantic comedy along the lines of a Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon movie. It is drama, pure and simple. Just because the writers have made it friendly to both genders, doesn't mean that ABC should market it only to their female viewer ship. However, within this the conundrum lies. Grey's Anatomy has likely reached its loft perch of popularity solely because ABC marketed it to the female gender. This is because there are only a few TV shows out there that are both female friendly and not terrible .

Grey's Anatomy is well-loved by everyone in the country. This is clear from the ratings it receives. However, there are still those stubborn males out there who refuse to accept that Grey's holds for them anything of worth. ABC, if they want to, could prove them wrong.
