Grey's Anatomy
A Hard Day's Night
Season 1, Episode 1 · Aired 2005-03-27
Synopsis
Meet Meredith Grey, a woman trying to lead a real life while doing a job that makes having a real life impossible. Meredith is a first year surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital, the toughest surgical residency program west of Harvard. She and her fellow first-year interns were students yesterday; today they're doctors in a world where on the job training can be a matter of life and death. Meet the young people struggling to become doctors and the doctors struggling to remain human. It's a world filled with intensity, humor, sex and pain, in which the interns discover that neither medicine nor relationships can be defined in black and white -- real life only comes in shades of grey.
From the desk: Grey's Anatomy opens its catalog run with “A Hard Day's Night” (2005-03-27). Longevity, shipping, and soundtrack-driven emotion as brand. Cast exits, on-set controversies, and ship wars without end.
