Vernoff is best known for her time as a member of the creative team at the popular drama "Grey's Anatomy". She is credited as an executive producer, and has also written episodes of the show. An episode Vernoff wrote, "Into You Like a Train", was nominated for a Best Writing Emmy Award. Vernoff is credited with the introduction of the catchphrase, "seriously" into the dialogue of "Grey's Anatomy" episodes. Series creator Shonda Rhimes says that Vernoff used it frequently in the writer's room, and "said correctly, it can convey sarcasm, dismay, disbelief, a sense of moral and ethical superiority, and gentle chastising punishment, all at once. "According to Vernoff on the "Grey's Anatomy" iTunes Podcast, the episodes "Six Days Pt. 1 and 2" were written as a dedication to Vernoff's father, Bob Verne, who died in much the same way as Dr. George O'Malley's father in the series. In May 2007, ABC announced that Vernoff would become showrunner and head writer of "Grey's Anatomy" effective fall 2007. Vernoff left her position with "Grey's Anatomy" in 2011. 
"Wish I" is the third single released by Jem from her debut album "Finally Woken". The song has been used as the title music for UK reality TV show, "Celebrity Love Island" on ITV and ABC's "Grey's Anatomy". 
Critical response. "Grey's Anatomy" has been moderately well received among critics. The series holds a score of 66 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on five reviews for season seven. The first season received mixed to positive reviews, with Gary Levin of "USA Today" calling "Grey's Anatomy" one of the top shows on television. "The Washington Post" Tom Shales was critical of season one, finding it reminiscent of "ER" and commenting that: "The show is much more a matter of commercial calculation than an honest attempt to try something fresh and different." Shortly after its initial airing, the "Chicago Tribune" Maureen Ryan called "Grey's Anatomy" the new "Friends"; a concluded National Broadcasting Company (NBC) sitcom following the lives of a group of young adults, that all of its ten-year run in the top-five for viewer ratings. Regarding the second season, Kevin Carr of "7M Pictures" opined that "Grey's Anatomy" is a mere combination of "Scrubs", "ER", "Sex and the City", and "The Love Boat". On a more positive note, Christopher Monfette of "IGN" added: "The second season of this medical drama expertly wove its signature elements of complex relationships, whimsical banter and challenging life-lessons; all to a montage-fetish, indie-rock soundtrack. "Regarding season three, Monfette of "IGN" said that it speedily found itself "mired in the annoying and absurd", adding: "This third season may very well represent a case of over-writing a concept that has, perhaps tragically, run bone-dry on narrative fuel." Contrasting with Monfette's view of the season, Bill Carter of "The New York Times" called "Grey's Anatomy" "television's hottest show", adding: "show is expected to challenge "Grey's Anatomy" for prime-time pre-eminence." At the conclusion of season three, "Entertainment Weekly" Gregory Kirschling said "the show lacked a defining happy, warm-gooseflesh moment", adding that the season "didn't leave you dying for the season premiere". Speaking of the fourth season, Laura Burrows of "IGN" said the series became "a little more than mediocre, but less than fantastic", adding: "This season proved that even strong chemistry and good acting cannot save a show that suffers from the inevitable recycled plot. "The titular character of "Grey's Anatomy", Meredith, has received moderately positive feedback by critics, with Alessandra Stanley of "The New York Times" referring to her as "the heroine of "Grey's Anatomy"". When Pompeo did not receive an Emmy nomination for her work as Meredith, Mary McNamara of the "Los Angeles Times" suggested that Pompeo, "who has worked very hard and against all narrative odds to make Meredith Grey an interesting character", should have received a nomination at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, in 2009. "IGN" Monfette, less impressed, criticized her storyline as "some bizarrely under-developed sub-plot about depression and giving Derek a season's worth of reconsidering to do." Robert Rorke of the "New York Post" was also critical of Meredith's role in the show, writing: "She used to be the queen of the romantic dilemmas, but lately, she's been a little dopey, what with the endless 'McDreamy' soliloquies. "The majority of the supporting cast of "Grey's Anatomy" have been well received as well, with the "New York Post" Rorke deeming Stevens to be "the heart and soul" of "Grey's Anatomy", whereas Eyder Peralta of the "Houston Chronicle" was critical of her character development, stating: "[She's] the reason I don't watch "Grey's Anatomy" anymore." With the departure of several cast members throughout the seasons, many new characters were added to the drama's ensemble. McKidd and Capshaw were referred to as "fresh additions" to the series, by Monfette of "IGN". In addition, Matt Roush of "TV Guide" commented: "Hunt/McKidd is the most encouraging thing to happen to "Grey's Anatomy" in quite a while." Speaking of the new cast members, in addition to the remaining original, Robert Bianco from "USA Today" called them the show's "best ensemble in years". In contrast to the moderately negative feedback the third and fourth seasons received, Alan Sepinwall of "The Star-Ledger" said of the fifth season: "Overall, it feels more like the good old days than "Grey's Anatomy" has in a long time." Misha Davenport from the "Chicago Sun-Times" said season five "hits on all the things the show does so well", adding: "There is romance, heartbreak, humor and a few moments that will move fans to tears." Brian Lowry of "Variety", less impressed, opinionated that the season five displayed the show running out of storylines. Speaking of the sixth season, Bianco of "USA Today" wrote: ""Grey's" has always loved grand gestures. You like them or you don't; the only real question is whether the show pulls them off or it doesn't. This year, it did. "In response to the seventh season, Bianco from "USA Today" commented: "Happily, it now seems to have landed on solid ground." Also of the seventh season, "Entertainment Weekly"s Jennifer Armstrong said: "It's in the shooting's emotional reverberations that the show is regenerating after the past few hit-and-miss seasons," whereas Verne Gay of "Newsday" commented: "Unfortunately, they've settled on far-too-easy and facile answers for the most part." Speaking of season eight, "Entertainment Weekly" Mandi Bierly called it a "so-so season", and Lesley Goldberg of "The Hollywood Reporter" called it "emotional".
