Every day this week, ABC has picked up one of their shows for next season. Today’s series is Station 19, the first responder procedural, which was spun off of Grey’s Anatomy. The latter has already been picked up for another season, even without Ellen Pompeo.
The Shonda Rhimes show is going through some changes behind the scenes next season. Krista Vernoff has stepped down as the showrunner, and she will be replaced by Zoanne Clark and Peter Paige. As a huge fan of Queer As Folk, I can’t wait to see what Paige brings to the table.
For years people said Grey’s Anatomy wouldn’t survive without Ellen Pompeo. But it has since she left the series earlier this month. And because of that, ABC renewed the medical drama for a 20th season, according to Variety.
That means it remains the longest-running primetime medical program in television history.
Personally, I can’t believe people are still watching. I gave it up a long time ago and never looked back.
We know that A Million Little Things and The Goldbergs are ending this season. But we don’t know when their final episodes are going to air.
Actually, we do now. Because ABC announced to Deadline when we will say good to those two shows forever and the other ones for the summer.
So get your calendars out because you are not going to want to miss any of these episodes.

Ellen Pompeo has been wanting out of Grey’s Anatomy for years, and on February 23rd, it is finally going to happen. Meredith Grey will be leaving Seattle for Boston to work with Jackson Avery.
All I can say about this is don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
If you watch Grey’s Anatomy for Ellen Pompeo, do I have some bad news for you. The actress will only appear in 8 episodes this season, according to Deadline. However, she will remain the medical drama’s narrator throughout the season.
It will be interesting to see how the series does in the ratings with Meredith Grey. If they do well or the same, then I will assume they will consider doing a 20th season without her whining about how the show has run out of ideas.
Personally, I don’t think anyone will miss her. Kind of like when NCIS lost Mark Harmon; the show went on as it always did. And Grey’s will be like Pompe-who?
In case you care, she is doing a Hulu series that is based on the real-life story that the horror film The Orphan was based on.
Are you going to miss her, or are you like finally?
