8. Grey’s Anatomy (2005 - present)
“ER” was the medical show of note in the ‘90s, but as it began to show its age and lose most of its original stars along came “Grey’s Anatomy” with a fresh spin and distinct voice in narrator Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), written by creator Shonda Rhimes. The show became an instant mega hit for ABC when it premiered mid-season as a replacement for “Boston Legal” in March of 2005, a rare feat for a mid-season show. Newcomers Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight and Justin Chambers were thrust into the spotlight and Patrick Dempsey who had been an 80’s teen-flick icon found his career taking on a second act. — Laura Saltman
