EW.com’s Michael Ausiello writes about tonight’s episode of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” which was inspired by ABC News’ summer docudrama “Boston Med.” Tonight’s “Grey’s” features a documentary crew talking with the fictitious doctors of Seattle Grace about the hospital shooting spree that occurred at the end of last season.
[Show creator Shonda] Rhimes has long toyed with the notion of doing a docu-style installment, but it was coexecutive producer Stacy McKee — this week’s scribe — who figured out how best to execute it. “Stacy was obsessed with Boston Med,” notes Rhimes. “So she came in one day after watching an episode and said, ‘I think I have it! I figured out how we can do our own version of that.’ And we used the shooting as our jumping-off point.”
