I chose to write about the television show “Grey’s Anatomy” which airs on ABC, Thursday nights at 9.00 pm. As a future oral surgeon, this is the only show on television that I watch, thus I decided to analyze it as a sociologist would analyze it. Even though I have never paid attention to the gender stereotypes of this show, thinking that the show is about surgical interns and attending doctors in the fictional Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, I decided to re-watch and observe the first two episodes of this show which aired on March 2005 and the last two episodes which aired seven years later on October 2012. This show takes place in Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital in Seattle, Washington, where daily lives of surgical interns and residents are exposed. Most of the time, the show was narrated by Dr. Meredith Grey, a young good looking surgical intern, who was hired by the hospital, where she gradually evolved into a seasoned doctor along with her co- hired interns. She and her co-hired interns, Dr. Cristina Yang, a brilliant Asian descent American, Dr. George O'Malley who was mocked by his peers due to freezing in the operating room on the first day of the job, Dr. Izzie Stevens, a gorgeous intern who was nicknamed “Model” , and Dr. Alex Karev who is dismissive with his coworkers and patients, were assigned to work under Dr. Miranda Bailey, a general surgeon. After O'Malley's death and Stevens' departure, which happened in the later seasons, they were replaced by Dr. Jackson Avery and Dr. April Kepner, in the sixth season. The surgical department was primarily supervised by Dr. Richard Webber, who was eventually replaced by Dr. Derek Shepherd, and later Dr. Owen Hunt. After carefully analyzing the show, I decided to examine four findings where three of them were on gender and one on race and ethnicity. The first founding I tested was that women were not as worthy to play major characters as were men. According to the text, women account for about 39 percent of all major characters on primetime television (RC, 152). In order to examine this finding, I planned to count surgical attending doctors or chief of surgical departments who have authority over the interns and perform dense and complex surgeries, and each character was counted only once. The second finding I examined was to find the age distribution among women characters in comparison to the age distribution of the male characters. As Renzetti and Curran stated, not only do women have fewer roles on television, but the characters played by women tend to be younger and less mature than male characters and, therefore, less authoritative (RC, 152). This finding was evaluated by counting only the major characters of the show including interns and attending surgeons and disregarding supportive characters that appeared only in one or two episodes with one or two short scripted lines. For this finding, I also examined women authoritative status by carefully observing the decisions they made on how to perform complicated surgeries and the way they gave instructions to the interns. And for male characters I counted all the major characters including interns and attending surgeons and also disregarding supportive characters. I mainly observed to see what age distribution has the most authoritative role, which can be the head chief of the surgical wing. Every single character was counted only once. According to the text, women on television are still depicted as being preoccupied with romantic relationships; while male characters tend to talk about work. For this finding, I listed and paid special attention to the conversations among major female characters only, and males characters only outside the surgical room, where I had to disregard conversations between females and males and as well as conversation between females attending and female interns due to being aware that a first year female interns, who wants to be professional and recognized for their knowledge gained during medical school years, would not talk about romantic rela
