Grey’s Anatomy, Season Six DVD [Review]

Guest Post by MA

Season six of Grey’s Anatomy starts with a crash, and ends with a bang.  What comes in between is the continuation of the story twitter user Shonda Rhimes (@shondarhimes ) created seven years ago about a resident and attending surgeon at Seattle Grace Hospital who fall in love.  Or really, how Patrick Dempsey went from uber geek to one of the hottest actors out there.  This season sees Seattle Grace merge with a competing hospital, and of course, drama ensues.  Of note, former Journeyman Kevin McKidd joins the cast as Seattle Grace’s troubled trauma surgeon.

The DVD set as in previous seasons, provides the viewer with some extended episodes of scenes that were not seen in the original broadcast.  Unlike the rest of the DVD offerings from ABC TV this year, Grey’s Anatomy is a full size box set.  It’s obvious that an effort was made not to cram as many episodes on a disk as possible.  This in my opinion, is a good thing.  It makes for a better picture, better authoring, and a better watching experience.

While I watched the extended episodes, I wasn’t able to recognize any of the scenes that were added in.  Another feature worth mentioning of the set was the feature on Chandra Wilson, who won an Emmy in the last season, and who also spent some time on the other side of the camera in the director’s chair.  She plays Miranda Bailey, Seattle Grace’s  resident geek and lover of science fiction – who will throw out a geek reference when you least expect it.

Season Six of Grey’s Anatomy is released on DVD in most stores on September 14, and season seven starts on ABC on September 23.  If you are a fan, this is an excellent addition to your Grey’s Anatomy collection.  If you haven’t seen the show, it’s worth checking out to see how Shonda Rhimes managed to create one of the most popular shows on television.
