"We just inoculate the roots and up they go, they fully colonize all over...
...also overflowing with either unscripted reality programming or shows dealing in danger, terrorism and uncertainty that mirror the real world, the problems of five surgical interns and their bosses at Seattle Grace seem refreshingly familiar.
