OlderGrey's Creator Shonda Rhimes: New ABC Pilot!
Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes was just given the green light on a new pilot for ABC.
The untitled drama centers on the “life and work of a professional fixer and her dysfunctional staff,” a network rep shares. The show will be based on the life of real-life crisis management consultant Judy Smith, who will serve as co-executive producer.
Rhimes is also the executive producer of Private Practice and Off the Map, a medical drama set in the jungle which premieres on ABC on Wednesday (January 12) at 10/9c.
ARE YOU EXCITED for another Shonda Rhimes-created show??

Yes.
TOO MANY balls in the air Shonda! Grey’s is becoming more and more boring, Private Practice is getting better and is better than Grey’s, especially this season, but she just keeps ignoring it ..”Off the map” is already too much, she even twitted she will do less Private Practice and Grey’s episodes cause she is tired and now she adds a fourth show? Better do her best with the current shows, write better episodes and storylines for the characters that repeat her self over and over again!
A little bit greedy in my opinion.
I didn’t know she was african-american. That’s why there are so many “black doctors” on ‘Grey’s.’
@Mary:
Word.
She should focus on grey’s and private practice, I want these shows, especially private practice, to last a few more seasons.
Actually I’m interested to see this medical drama set in the jungle. It could be fun. Haven’t watched Private Practice never really got into that show. Well it’s good that Shonda is branching out doing other projects because Grey’s can only last so long.. Who knows how much longer the actors and show will be around.
no
THAT is Shonda???????? I always thought she was a white skinny b*tch! I only got right the b*tch part, lol!
Always have had great respect for her!
@nikki: You thought she was white with a name like Shonda…. In any case she is taking on a lot with an already full plate. I wish her the best though.
Isn’t race fascinating? All some posters can concentrate on is the surprise that she is not white instead of the fact that she is someone who has had great successes in Television. Amazing. Race is an illness in America.
Not knowing Shonda Rhimes was African American is like not knowing Oprah Winfrey is African American.
Another one? Aren’t GA & PP enough? Both shows are going to suffer…badly.
just what we need – another fat black woman on television and movies.
Why not show slim, attractive, beautiful black women like gabrielle union? too threatening? what gives? I’m personally sick of seeing Black women represented in a negative light in hollywood.
most are obese (gabourey sidibe), ugly (monqiue who doesn’t even shave her legs!) or have an attitude problem (insert any black actress here) or just a comic relief (queen latifah).
Tired of it. Show a beautiful, classy, sophisticated, slim and happy Black woman for once!
@J:
Uh, I see your point…but…I don’t agree with how the way it was sad. But, I do see where you are going and I agree with that.
@ J – Please don’t compare Shonda Rimes to actresses and comedians, it’s like comparing apples and oranges!! Unlike them, she doesn’t go begging for a job, she creates them! You should instead be happy to see that there is diversity on the business side of hollywood aka the people who make the real money!
Wooo girl needs to spend less time producing shows and more time at the gym…
Woooowwwww interesting these comments are. People are so shocked that she’s black, she’s smart and successful. Feeling threaten?? You cave drooling recessive gene neanderthals should be, jealous losers.
What the what? I always thought Shonda Rhimes was the actress who plays Dr. Bailey. I thought she created AND acted in the show. WOW.
I didn’t know a black women directed this show. It good see different people, of different races thinking out of the box, instead of using platform all the time.
race doesn’t exist , only cultures & ethnicities. shonda is american, plain and simple.
She’s a genius. I’m looking forward to seein “Off the Map”. I’ve been a favorite of Grey’s and Private Practice. Therefore, i’m betting “Off the Map” will be another hit, i’m sure…
It’s a shame. I completely agree that Grey’s has gone downhill. I’ve been one of its biggest fans and a watcher since the pilot. The story lines have simply… gone awry ever since season 5. Oh well. I have always watched and will continue to watch no matter how terrible the episodes are. As far as her taking on too much… I think we can all see how the shows are suffering from lack of full attention.
I ADORE her and she is my idol. Super excited!
@J , I agree. I would like to see a hot stylish normal black women for a change ! They shouldn’t have to stand for something to get a chance in hollywood !
Ref J — surprised you didn’t know Shonda was black; but then again black people MUST recognize whites and show them as desirable and stunning. I ABSOLUTELY agree with you –knockouts like Gabby Union, Nia Long and Taraji Henson should be the ones in these ( and other) shows. And NOT raising children by themselves, but with attractive stylish boyfriends, lovers, husbands, etc. ( we cal all dream, right?) Too many people believe that this these frequently second-rate white women are the only people who deserve to be seen as desirable.
Shonda should insist; but may be if she did, they wouldn’t taker her shows?
By the way, the real-life Judy Smith is black.
