The show has changed a lot, but I don't like it less than I did when I was 13 (which is how old I was when it premiered). I actually appreciate more now the diversity of the cast and the production team. And it has given me a lot outside of just being a show I watch, so I think I like it even more than I did when it started.

I don't think a new show with new characters also set in a hospital would be very successful. I predict that it would have a decent pilot, but ratings would decline quickly and never recover, because people would tune in to give it a chance and the majority wouldn't come back. As far as being better than Grey's Anatomy, I don't think that's even possible. Grey's Anatomy broke so many molds. I also really love Private Practice (which also broke a lot of molds, but got less attention and had less strict guidelines because it was a 10 PM show).

Good luck with your show.
