TV.com has reported that ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ has been shopped around for syndication rights successfully. So everyone looking for extra helpings of Dr. McDreamy, look no further than January for weekly installments. If that isn’t enough (I know, he is so gorgeous) then 2009 is your target date. That is when Grey and the rest of the crew will appear daily on Lifetime network.
Syndication is expensive, with Lifetime paying a reported $1.2 million per episode. It makes sense though, after all, that is how Jerry Seinfeld became worth over $100 million. A Walt Disney owned company, Buena Vista Television, struck the deal with the Lifetime network. The irony: Disney owns half of Lifetime and ABC, the channel that currently airs ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Ah, Hollywood... one hand pays the other.
The show is currently in its third season and is the highest viewed show on television. So, pretty much even if the writing tanks in a season or two and the actors all get trashed and worthless, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ will live on in cable-land. Thank the heavens. That Patrick Dempsey. Lucky bastard.
