Being after 'Desperate Housewives' has allowed a large number of people to discover our show. But they stay and come back each week because these characters feel like people you know. And no matter what race they are, you see yourself in their problems.
More Quotes from Shonda Rhimes:
You could. And I think it says that's bad and it's black and it's a code, honestly.Shonda Rhimes
It's incredibly encouraging that our viewers haven't gotten hung up on the race thing. It's not about the fact that she's Asian and he's black. It's about the fact that she's a slob, and he's a neat freak. That's what the whole relationship is all about.

What I find interesting is that there are some people out there who take the show very seriously. But then I think about how strongly I felt about 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and how emotional I was about what happened to those characters. So going from being a fan to somebody who has her own show, I definitely respect it. You come into people's homes in a very personal way on a weekly basis. They get involved. But the general success of the show, that sort of loyalty and rage over why did you let Meredith and George sleep together, it's fantastic but it's not something I necessarily expected.

I don't see myself lessening the narration for Meredith. Meredith is wonderful and she's got a great voice and it's lovely to see the world through a specific set of eyes. That's important to the show.
