  • Genre: Medical Drama

Grey’s Anatomy is one of the highest rated shows on television and the fifth season continued that trend. I am wondering though if the show itself or behind the scenes actually has more drama the last couple of years. In the last couple of years Grey’s Anatomy has easily had the most controversy behind the scenes as any show on television. With the controversy and terrible beginning to the fifth season things weren’t looking good for the fifth season of Grey’s Anatomy. Thanks to the surprisingly good final episodes of the season, the fifth season of Grey’s Anatomy is still a very solid show.

Even the most amazing of his illusions can be explained in perfectly reasonable ways. This article will take a look at how Criss does some of his most famous illusions. If you don’t want to know the secrets behind Criss’s illusions, do not read any further. His act will seem much less impressive when you find out just how he does his tricks (and in some cases, you’ll be very disappointed with how he performs them) so think about it before deciding to read on.

FlashForward Review

With Lost coming to an end this spring, ABC needs to find a show that will be able to replace Lost. ABC hopes that show is FlashForward. With promotion left and right and a bunch of hype it would sure seem like Flashforward could definitely be that show. FlashForward looks like ABC flagship new show and they seem to refuse to let the show fail. Having seen the entire pilot I sure hope it doesn’t fail. While I have to say that while Flashforward isn’t perfect yet, it is well on its way to taking over for Lost next season.

Growing up in the 1990’s I grew up during the Power Rangers peak.
