Three Rivers

[SPOILER WARNING]

 


 

 

 

i'm not sure how many people watch both grey's anatomy and three rivers, but those happen to be the only two televisions shows (besides the news) that i follow regularly.

as such, i noticed some weird similarities in the storylines.

like, miranda's father who was a famous doctor and worked in the hospital where she's becoming a transplant surgeon; how the (black, cooincidentally) head of surgery (or transplantation or whatever) had a love affair with miranda's famous doctor father.

there's a power hungry (happens to be asian) surgeon who comes from money and is the tough guy. the hottie (mcdreamy) doctor, the blonde new girl who gets attatched to patients.

and then there's the whole arguing over who gets the organ from UNOS (dr. burke and doctor hahn) story, something about an LVAD, there are other things that i can't think of off the top of my head.

has anyone else who watches these shows noticed? or am i alone on this one?

Now that you've pointed it out

Yeah I see where you're coming from. 

I dunno, as similar as they are, they still seem different to me. 

Btw, has anyone else "gotten used" to seeing Kate as Miranda and not as Shane? I sort of have! And it's... weird. LOL

I dunno...

I kinda like it, especially when she ties it up. :P Of course I much prefer Shane hair, but I think I've gotten used to it. :P

i have

i have noticed the similarities but haven't thought anything of them. i really like both shows so it doesn't bother me. i don't think that i will ever get use to seeing kate moening as anything other then shane. even her role as miranda has some of shane's personality in it. it doesn't really matter though cuz i'm happy that i get to watch her every week on tv again. :)

I am just waiting patiently

I am just waiting patiently for Miranda to turn out gay.  And oh yes, I noticed too!  I love Three Rivers though...I was easily bored with Grey's...
