Gray’s Anatomy is the medical drama that simply received’t cease on ABC, to the purpose that solely two of the present collection regulars forward of the 2025 TV schedule have been round from the start in 2005. That stated, the social media account for the present threw all the way in which again to the start to ring within the new yr by posting a clip of the primary assembly of Meredith Gray and Derek Shepherd, and I’m McDreaming of the golden MerDer days earlier than he was killed off. Glad New Yr?
Whereas the pilot of Gray’s Anatomy from almost 20 years in the past featured the aftermath of Meredith and Derek’s first assembly, that first assembly wasn’t truly proven till Season 3 after which revisited in a flashback in Season 11. Nonetheless, it’s chronologically the start of the MerDer story, so what higher match for the beginning of a brand new yr? Test it out beneath:
Nicely, with Season 21 at present on hiatus and never set to return with new episodes till March, perhaps it is time to hearth up that Hulu subscription and/or Netflix subscription to revisit the glory days of MerDer in primetime! I are usually extra of a Japril fan myself ever since they obtained the uncommon Gray’s Anatomy happily-ever-after, however Meredith and Derek arguably have some of the iconic relationships in tv historical past. Seeing how they met actually put me again within the temper for the highs and lows of their story over the primary eleven seasons.
I am additionally not alone within the thought of rewatching the early days of Gray’s Anatomy after seeing the clip from Instagram, as numerous commenters posted the identical factor. Listed here are only a few:
- nailsbymarvin: “Ugh tremendous I’ll rewatch greys anatomy 😆”
- trini_lee_89: “Now i wish to go watch GA from the very starting 😍”

Actually, it is very Gray’s Anatomy that the individuals contemplating a rewatch are embracing the thought with a mix of resignation, pleasure, and nostalgia. The present is not exhausting to search out to stream, for higher or worse, with the entire MerDer seasons out there on multiple platform. You’ll be able to even revisit all of Patrick Dempsey’s appearances in Season 17, when he technically wasn’t a dwelling, respiratory McDreamy.
For her half, Ellen Pompeo named Derek’s because the saddest demise in Gray’s Anatomy historical past, which is saying one thing for a present as deadly to its personal predominant characters as ABC’s medical drama. The present is ready to return within the new yr on Thursday, March 6 in its new (and never solely profitable) time slot of 10 p.m. ET on ABC, so there’s loads of time to revisit days passed by as winter hiatus continues.
