DVD Grey's Anatomy - Season Two
The medical drama's second season could be diagnosed as bipolar; in other words, it got much worse and much better at the same time. Whiny, self-involved surgical intern Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), arguably the weakest spot in the otherwise likeable ensemble, had already left viewers annoyed. But season two, in which Meredith coped with being dumped by her married McDreamy (a.k.a. neurosurgeon Derek, a.k.a. Patrick Dempsey) by excessive drinking, sleeping around, gazing like a sad puppy and--unforgivable!--breaking the heart of longtime admirer/friend George (the cuddly T.R. Knight), could have alienated audiences for good. (Seriously, sometimes you want to shake the girl and feed her some cookies.) Thankfully, what Meredith's storyline threatened to derail was held together by some emotional episodes, including "Into You Like a Train," in which a pair of strangers are impaled together on a metal pole, and "Much Too Much," featuring a mother's quintuplets in critical condition. But the standout show that turned Grey's Anatomy into a television force came with the January 2006 post-Super Bowl episode, a two-parter involving a "code black" lockdown when a live bomb is housed inside a patient.
Romance also remained key to the staff at Seattle Grace: Steely Cristina (Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh) softens, to her great dismay, as her relationship with Dr. Burke (Isaiah Washington) gets serious; Izzie (Katherine Heigl) pairs up, then breaks up, with Alex (Justin Chambers, the villain of the cast if you had to name one) before falling in love with flirty, tender heart patient Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Derek and estranged wife Addison (Kate Walsh, who somehow managed to win over Meredith-McDreamy fans despite being the Other Woman) make attempts at fixing their marriage, and Dr. Bailey (Chandra Wilson, easily a standout) tries to balance a medical career with mommyhood. Even George finds a new love with orthopedic surgeon Callie (Sara Ramirez). The season wraps up with a weeper of a two-part finale, set at the hospital during a "prom" (it's complicated). But with the fancy gowns and tuxes, tears and romantic tension, leading to a crossroads for Meredith and Derek, you can bet the episodes are a delight for any Grey's fan. The show also continues to rely heavily on narration (not a good thing) and soundtracks (a good thing), using tracks from artists before they hit it big (KT Tunstall, Brandi Carlisle, Snow Patrol).
On the DVD
Four of the episodes get an extended treatment, though the tag line "too steamy for television!" is overreaching a bit. Oh is the only actor to turn up on a commentary, which is otherwise just the writers and producers congratulating each other. Walsh turns up the charm in "The Doctors are In," in which characters answer fans' questions, but Chambers appears noticeably drab and disinterested. Despite "Uncut" being in the title, the special features aren't anything you'll be watching again and again. Save that rewind button for the show itself. --Ellen A. Kim
Grey's Anatomy is my can't-miss show right now. It offers bizarre medical cases, fiery relationships, and enough suspense in the story lines to leave you guessing at the end of each episode - certainly enough to want to come back for more.
This season was of course longer than the inaguaral season, meaning there is more to see. I am really glad that the extended episodes were included in this box set of the season. The special features are interesting as well.
Overall, this is a strong box set release of a very well written and cast television show; it has been watched heavily by my household since its purchase on release day!
If you are behind on the show because you have only recently discovered it, the season 1 and 2 box sets are the way to go to catch up, especially during rerun times.
Enjoy!
A Truly Comprehensive Compilation of One of America's Greatest TV Shows!
When the first episode "Grey's Anatomy," a medical show with a wealth of nail-biting, chair-gripping drama, came out, I was astounded. Everyone I knew LOVED the show, and it kept us on the edge of our seats throughout the first season. When the show ended for the summer here in the USA, I was desperately anxious and excited for the show's Season Two to begin. When it did in autumn, I was thrilled to find that the producers and the writers had kept up the "Grey's Anatomy" standard and had created yet another masterpiece filled with heartbreak, tears, PLENTY of laughter, and the wonderful characters of Seattle Grace Hospital.
I had, of course, purchased the first season of "Grey's Anatomy" for my daughter a few months before, and I knew that when season two was finished, I had to get a copy ... for me! =)
Well, the show progressed, taking us through a remarkable journey with our friends, the interns and surgeons at Seattle Grace. We fell in love with Denny with Izzie, we were jealous with Alex, we were sorry for Olivia, we got shot with Burke, we tried to make Christina love us ... we tried to make her human, we ached for Meredith and Derek to get back together, we sighed at the (HOT) McSteamy, we even felt sorry for poor Adison, trying to make a broken marriage last. We felt for the Chief and we wanted him to continue his "emotional affair" with Ellis. In short, we knew our characters, and we loved them.
When "Grey's Anatomy - Season Two" came out on DVD, I was completely thrilled. We don't have the best TV reception out here, and I hadn't seen the shows as clearly as I would have wished, however, with the DVDs came great special features--interviews with the actors and actresses of the hit TV show, deleted scenes, etc.--and a crystal clear picture with the signature soundtrack of "Grey's Anatomy."
Perhaps I should mention, too, the Bomb Episodes; those were particularly heartwrenching, and if you've never seen an episode of "Grey's Anatomy," that will MAKE you a fan. With a fantastic score and filming, the emotions of that scene will forever live in my mind ... and with "Grey's Anatomy - Season Two," I can relive it again and again!
All in all, the second season of "Grey's Anatomy" was a wonderful purchase (very cheap, too!) and a satisfying product. Amazon.com was very quick in their distribution of "Grey's Anatomy" and I'm continually gladdened and surprised by all the wonderful parts of "Grey's Anatomy - Season Two" that I missed. It's a fantastic show. 10/10 stars.
Awesome
I missed this show on TV and have only recently started watching. From series one I was hooked. This is a show where you can really love the characters. The DVD package is excellent and it is fantastic to see the show in entirety without advert interuptions. I am an international customer and this DVD worked just beautifully.
Just when you wanted to say "Oh no, not another hospital drama," Grey's Anatomy turns into one of the most addicting series on television. With no big stars and no hype, the ABC series debuted last spring as a mid-season replacement and became a bonafide smash in its nine-episode season.

The overall strength of the second season of House, M.D. proves that its first-year success wasn't a fluke. This season starts with Dr. House (Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie) pursuing his ex-wife Stacy (Sela Ward) and ending with a tragedy that could potentially be deadly for himself and two colleagues. The premise of each show follows a set routine--a patient is brought in with unusual symptoms; House challenges his trio of underlings to diagnose the problem; they treat the patient, usually incorrectly the first few tries; and then at the very last minute--through a revelation that often has little to do with the patient--House figures out what's wrong and saves the day. It would be easy for this set up to grow old fast. But because of the smart writing, nuanced acting, and...

He pops pills, watches soaps, and always, always says what's on his mind. He's Dr. Gregory House (Emmy nominee Hugh Laurie, Blackadder). Producers David Shore, Bryan Singer, Katie Jacobs, and Paul Attanasio haven't rewritten the hospital drama--at heart, it's a cross between St. Elsewhere, ER, and C.S.I.--but they've infused a moribund genre with new life and created one of TV's most compelling characters. More than any previous medical procedural, it resembles Attanasio’s underrated Gideon's Crossing, but House is lighter on its feet. As fascinating as he is, the show wouldn't work as well if it were all House all the time (that would be like Sherlock Holmes without Watson or Moriarty). Fortunately, he's joined by an intriguing cast of... More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 30 August 2005 Usually ships in 6 to 10 days

The ladies of Wisteria Lane returned for a second season of high anxiety, testy relationships, and a new mystery. Susan's (Teri Hatcher) angsty on-again off-again with Mike the plumber (James Denton) took an odd twist when her ex-husband (Richard Burgi) moved in with neighborhood seductress Edie (Nicolette Sheridan), then took an even odder one. Bree (Marcia Cross) resumed her widow's relationship with George the pharmacist (Roger Bart), then descended into personal addiction. Annette's (Felicity Huffman) return to the working world turned bizarre when her husband, Tom (Doug Savant), got tired of being a house-husband and returned to the workforce… at Annette's own firm. And Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) had to cope in her own unique way with Carlos (Ricardo Chavira) in prison.
