Where to start with Grey's Anatomy

Grey's is the spine and you watch it straight through. The two spin-offs are not equally optional: one touches the main show nine times in a hundred and eleven episodes, and the other was deliberately braided into it for four years.

  1. 1
    Grey's Anatomy, season 1 Grey's Anatomy

    Nine episodes, which makes it the shortest way to find out whether this show is for you. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Private Practice, season 1 Private Practice

    Start it after the third season of Grey's, which ends on the two-part episode that sets it up. It follows Addison to Los Angeles and mostly stays out of the way.

  3. 3
    Station 19, season 1 Station 19

    Start it after Grey's season 14, episode 13, which is its backdoor pilot. From its fourth season onward it and Grey's share deaths, a wedding and a pregnancy, so they stop being separable.

Then what? The rule for the entangled stretch is simple: Station 19 aired at eight and Grey's at nine, so on any shared night Station 19 comes first. That includes the November 2020 event, which runs Station 19 season 4 episode 1, then Grey's season 17 episodes 1 and 2, as one rescue. Station 19 finished in May 2024. Grey's season 23 starts on 15 October 2026.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
