By this time, we pretty much know that there is no ratings backlash toward "Grey's Anatomy" resulting from ABC's decision to keep Isaiah Washington on the show after his homophobic remarks directed at co-star T.R. Knight. Still, it's pretty astonishing that ratings have actually been going UP. The show kept up its torrid pace durings sweeps, handily beating "CSI" head-to-head and giving ABC the win Thursday in the adults 18-49 demographic. "Anatomy" averaged 25.6 million in the adults 18-49, according to preliminary estimates released Friday by Nielsen Media Research. That continues its strong streak recently atop last week's 25.2 million viewers which was the highest demo ratings since the September premiere.

It's been two weeks of cliffhangers. Last week, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) falls into the ocean while trying to save a man's life. She is discovered by her true love Dr. McDreamy (Petrick Dempsey) but it might be too late. She looked dead at the end of Thursday's episode.
Now, I know the show is named after her and Meredith is a key character but I say kill her off! She gets on my nerves! I mean, when Valerie Harper was fired from her sitcom "Valerie" in the late 80s, CBS temporarily renamed the show "Valerie's Family" before settling on "The Hogan Family."
Let's say Meredith Grey does kick the bucket. What do you think the show should be called??
I'm thinking "McDreamy's Anatomy."
