If you haven't seen the show, it's very easy to figure out what's going on. The stories that are there, the relationships that are there are very clear.

You could. And I think it says that's bad and it's black and it's a code, honestly.

For us, not having a time slot last year, and now all of you watching ... has been great.

It's still definitely 'Grey's Anatomy.' I don't think it's anything like that other show. We do surgeries. It's about surgery. It's our show sort of on speed, I guess.

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.

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.

I planned the episode knowing that it was possible that it could be the Super Bowl episode, but also knowing that we would do the episode whether or not it was on Super Bowl Sunday.

It's incredibly encouraging that our viewers haven't gotten hung up on the race thing.

It's about surgery. It's our show sort of on speed.
