Even diehard fans of the series can admit that the series isnt the same as it once was.
The show has burnt itself out over the years, yet keeps trudging along.
The dedication is admirable, but is it really worth it?

So, is it really a good idea to bring back the old characters?
Or shouldGreys Anatomyopt for a fresh start?
Cast
A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.
A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.
Greys seemingly has lots of content to work with.
After all, theres always some crazy medical case that can be invented for the sake of an episode.
Butit almost feels as though the show has toned down the absurdity of its storylines.
Now the craziest thing we see onGreysare old characters coming back for a surprise visit.
But that may be doing the show more harm than good.
Whether it be that the character dies or the actor portraying them simply decides to leave the show.
One of the first major losses the show saw was when George (T.R.
Knight) died at the end of Season 5.
Izzie (Katherine Heigl) left the show soon after.
(Oh, and BokHee (Kathy C. An)!
Who can forget BokHee?)
Over the seasons weve seen certain characters return.

On the surface it may seem likebringing back fan-favorite characterswould be the perfect recipe for success forGreys Anatomy.
Its in a weird sort of limbo state at the moment.
But its about timeGreys Anatomymakes a decision about where it wants to go.
Greys Anatomyused to be so good at introducing new characters with fleshed-out backstories and colorful personalities.
Now?Everyone seems dull and there isnt much to latch onto.
Theres the occasional character, sure, but none are super memorable and thats rather unfortunate.
Thats what made the show unique.
It could take your heart and stomp on it with some of the most gut-wrenching storylines.
But it could also make you laugh a scene later.
The storylines in general need to be juicier too.
Its what fans really want.
Grey’s Anatomyis available to stream on Hulu in the U.S.
