A new season of Grey’s Anatomy debuting in the fall is a television tradition like no other. The truncated first season (nine episodes) of the beloved medical drama actually premiered all the way back in the spring of 2005; however, almost every subsequent season has started in September, with a few beginning in October and November.
Pumpkins. Trick-or-treating. Grey’s Anatomy.
