This may be curtains for “Grey’s Anatomy.”
The upcoming 23rd season of the hospital soap opera will only have 13 episodes. Last season the number was 18. In the old days, “Greys” made 27 episodes. It was down to 20 by 2018.
It’s not a surprise since the series has been moved to the graveyard shift on Thursdays at 10pm. Even though “Greys” reruns are a hit on Netflix, and ABC owns the show, there’s no life left in it.
Only three actors remain from the original season: Ellen Pompeo (who’s not in all the episodes this year), James Pickens Jr, and Chandra Wilson.
Otherwise, the series has meandered around for years. Ratings are down to around 2 million viewers per episode — about what daytime soap “General Hospital” gets on a daily basis.
The new and possible final season features a lot of new, young, low paid cast members. Let’s wish them well. They may be the last class of residents at Grey Sloan Hospital.
