All of us at Grey's Anatomy Insider would like to wish our readers a healthy and Happy New Year! Thank you all for visiting us so often and making this site so successful.

We know it's been a tough year at times, with plenty of controversial characters, relationships and Grey's Anatomy story lines - and even a writers' strike for good measure.

But in Grey's Anatomy and in life, there is always a time for for new beginnings. Our resolution is to bring you thorough Grey's Anatomy coverage and make this the web's #1 fan community for a show we still love dearly. Here's wishing you all the best in 2009.

Here's hoping for more of this (and other things) come January ...

Merry Christmas, Grey's Anatomy fans. Whether or not this is the holiday you celebrate, there's a little treat in store for you tonight in the form of "There's No 'I' in Team."

Hey, repeats are better than nothing, as we like to tell ourselves.

Our photo gallery and video sections, lists of Grey's Anatomy quotes and music from last night's episode and our staff's Round Table discussion help complete your viewing experience.

As always, our Grey's Anatomy forum is open for your comments on all things related to all your favorite characters, couples, story lines and episodes. Thanks for visiting the Insider all year long and we wish you all the happiest of holidays.

Just a little note to thank you all for visiting us throughout the past three years (!) and making this the web's #1 Grey's Anatomy fan site. We are grateful for you making Grey's Anatomy Insider a true fan community and wish you all the happiest of holidays!

Here's hoping for more of this (and other things) come January ...

Tonight, ABC is airing a repeat of Grey's Anatomy, "Brave New World." Our official episode recap offers a comprehensive rundown if you need a refresher or in case you missed it.

A photo gallery and music guide are also at your disposal, as well as the videos and memorable Grey's Anatomy quotes in our library. Browse by character or by any episode!

As always, our site thrives on and welcomes fan discussions and debates, so your comments are encouraged on any of our posts and in our Grey's Anatomy forum anytime.

Special programming note: In case you weren't aware, Private Practice is airing tonight at 10 p.m., after Grey's Anatomy, with a repeat, "Equal and Opposite." Beginning Thursday, January 8, new Private Practice episodes will air after Grey's Anatomy each week!

We apologize if this post appears negative. As the editors of the web's #1 Grey's Anatomy fan site, we are as devoted and loyal to the show as humanly possible.

But we imagine even the most ardent followers believe the show could use a new prescription (or several) at this point. For all that is appealing about it week in and week out, Grey's Anatomy has lost the fire. What would you like to see done to bring it back?

We've put together a list of suggestions that could bring Grey's Anatomy back to its past glory. If you agree or disagree, tell us why - and if you have your own prescriptions to improve the health of the medical drama, by all means, leave comments below!

1. Bring Back George!

If T.R. Knight wants off the show, having been given so little depth (when he's even on screen) for so long, we honestly can't blame him. But it is sad that his character - a fan favorite of so many of us for so long - has been marginalized to this point.

2. Run with Sloan, Karev and Hunt.

This isn't actually a complaint, but something the show has done well that we hope continues in the coming months. The development of both Mark Sloan and Alex Karev (no matter how you feel about their respective love interests) has been a treat to watch, as has the addition of another complex fellow in Maj. Dr. Owen Hunt. In the words of Britney Spears, gimme more!

3. To Be Continued ...

One of Grey's Anatomy's epic, two- or even three-part sagas is just what the doctor ordered. Some of the best episodes are the 2-3 part "events." A catastrophe raises everyone's game ... as long as Meredith doesn't die again. We've already got Denny on the show full-time now.

4. Set a Due Date.

It may sound sacrilegious to even talk about, perhaps the show would deliver more powerhouse episodes if there were, say, an end date set for the show after Season Seven, giving the writers a clearer idea of where they want to go with story lines and characters and when. It's just an idea. SIDE NOTE: Grey's Anatomy seems to be introducing new characters and losing old ones at an alarming rate, making it harder and harder for fans to invest themselves.

5. More MerDer Love.

We like that there's been relatively little negative MerDer drama so far in Season Five. But we also wouldn't need our arms twisted to watch a few more loving scenes, Shonda.

6. Axe Private Practice.

We actually like the spinoff, but if it has to be sacrificed in order to focus all writing efforts back on Grey's Anatomy and improve the more important of the two shows, then it's a no-brainer. Hey, maybe Addison can even come back to Seattle full-time! Win-win!

7. Off Denny. Again. And Again. However Many Times it Takes.

We love Jeffrey Dean Morgan too, and maybe Shonda will pull something out of a hat and salvage this story line. But week after week of Izzie and Ghost Denny, with the rest of the characters oblivious and only Grey's Anatomy spoilers to tip us off to her condition? Bizarre.

With Grey's Anatomy on hiatus until early January, ABC is airing "Here Comes the Flood" this evening at the usual time. Follow the link for the rundown in our official episode guide.

We put together a photo gallery, music guide, list of memorable quotes and staff Round Table discussion to enhance your Grey's Anatomy viewing experience for each episode.

As always, our Grey's Anatomy forum is open for discussion! Sound off on this episode or whatever topic you like with the online world's #1 Grey's Anatomy fan community!

T.R. Knight's impending departure from Grey's Anatomy may not have come as a huge surprise to some fans, but it has caused many of us sadness and confusion. Whether you love him or hate him, T.R. left an indelible mark on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. George O'Malley.

When a cast member leaves the series, it is forever altered - even more so in the case of an original, fundamental part of the fabric we've come to call Seattle Grace.

So many bungled decisions, so many funny comments, so many bad haircuts. It's gonna be hard to say goodbye to George (even if the writers basically already have).

Will Grey's Anatomy be worse off when T.R. Knight bows out (presumably this winter)? How should his character be written off the series? What will you miss most about George? What were some of your favorite episodes and scenes involving him?

We invite you to share your opinions, impressions and memories below. Here's a little photo gallery of George we put together. Click to enlarge ...

From its medical traumas to its compelling characters, surprising new hookups and flirtations, and the continuing presence of a certain deceased character, last night's Grey's Anatomy, "All By Myself," is sure to get people talking. We're interested to see if the response is positive.

If you missed it or just want a full rundown of all last night's action, check out our site's comprehensive episode recap. We've got it covered from beginning to end.

Our pages of Grey's Anatomy quotes, videos, pictures and music are also live for your enjoyment. But most importantly, tell us what you thought about the show!

Our Round Table discussion is still to come, and we will keep you apprised of all the latest news and spoilers. As always, our Grey's Anatomy forum is open for your comments!

Plenty of relationships between characters (living and dead) and other story lines are up in the air as Grey's Anatomy heads into its last episode before the new year this evening.

In tonight's episode, "All By Myself," Denny is even more of a presence in Izzie's life than before. What's up with Lexie and Mark? And will Sadie and Callie become an item soon?

There's a lot of drama related to the big solo surgery, too, as the videos and photos we've posted previewing the episode makes quite clear. It should be very interesting to watch.

As always, you can discuss it before, during and after the show in our Grey's Anatomy forum, and/or by leaving comments on any of our posts. Let us know what's on your mind!

Tomorrow, we'll add our recap, quotes, more videos, a music guide and our Round Table discussion! Thanks for helping our site become web's #1 Grey's Anatomy community!
