I don't mind Shonda either. The first 3 seasons of Grey's was amazing and the show is still watchable now. Private Practice is up and down but I still watch it. Also, her rise in the industry was really fast and you don't see many female showrunners, let alone a black female (or male) showrunner. I'd rather watch her shows than you know the CBS procedures.

I agree. That's why some of the negative comments truly bug me, especially from posters that complain about the non-diversity or whatever they want to complain about in daytime.

What does Shonda being a black woman have to do with anything? Good for her for being able to do what so many aren't given the opportunity to do, but IMO, her shows are sh!t. And if the sh!t's sh!t to me, then I'm not watching that sh!t.

From reading the threads on SON, et al, it has a lot to do with it. It's all about complaining on other threads, then saying something completely contrary that contradicts your complaints on another. If it doesn't pertain to you, then it shouldn't bother you. If you think her shows are bad, that's your opinion and I agree that you shouldn't watch. There are a plethora of other things to do at that hour.

The trailer for Off the Map:

Another Shonda Rhimes show. She really needs to sit down.

LOL!

To be fair, though, it looks as if she is only attached as EP through her production company. K.J. Steinberg will likely be the real showrunner.

Exactly. Just like "Off The Map" when Jenna Bans was the Creator/Showrunner. I don't think she's going to be the showrunner of "Scandal" either.

The concept does sound interesting.
