I don't know, his brand of adorkable just doesn't do it for me. In order for adorkable to work, he needs to add way more sarcasm, kind of like Seth

I've already mentioned this in the old thread(so, apologies if you've heard it before), but I think there is a strong similarity between George and character of Xander Harris from Buffy The Vampire Slayer- so much so that I wouldn't be suprised if someone working on this writing staff was either connected to the BTVS world, or was just a big fan. Here's my quick thesis on this:
1. Both had/have major love for the main character of the show, but are relegated to the role of 'male best friend'. Time will tell if this will change for George/Meh- but I hope it doesn't. I think it's important for their dynamic that the relationship not become romantic.
2. Both are characterized as incredibly sweet, loyal, funny, self-depricating guys who aren't technically the 'romantic leading man' types, but are attractive in their own ways.
3. Both carry much of the humor of the show and a lot that humor is based on these guys getting themselves into humiliating situations. At the same time, however, both guys are portrayed as the 'heart' or 'conscience' of the show, and are incredibly perceptive, though others don't often give them credit for being that.
4. My personal favorite- both have had Syph!!!
Thanks for indulging me on my theory. George is a great character.

Well, Seth's adorkableness can get really irritating sometimes so I prefer our sad sack George over him.

I can see George switching to pediatric surgery, so we can get more AdorableGeorge. [/quote]
Love it! He could be like Patch Adams!
Also, don't want he and Meh to be together, and I don't think its going to happen, since he reminds Meh and her mom of "Thatcher," Meh's daddy. That would be a little wierd for her don't you think?

Didn't George interact really well with a little girl patient last year, or am I thinking of the wrong show/character? He just seems like he's well-suited to work with kids. Izzie does, too. That bodes well for the numerous babies they'll have in the future. Yay!

I just heart George. He is so funny. He comes up with some really great lines. The lambs screaming, the strung out on the scalpel (very sexy by the way), and my absolute fave- Maybe he gave the chief syphillis too.
He's a smart guy who the other don't appreciate the way I do. But I love how in the last few eps he's gained some confidence, because there's nothing sexier than that. Especially in a man that is already so great.
The fact that he's so close to the girls is just funny. I never really cared for Meh, and agree with everyone that says George is too good, but G/I, yeah I could get on board with that. If I can't be with him that is.
He also has the greatest facial expressions ever. Love that boy

I must confess, I am a big fan of the George. He's all "I have my finger in a heart". I accosted those around me for days with that line. I loved that he got something to try and finally dispel the 007 problem back in season one. But my personal favourite moment? Ellis Grey thinking he's her husband and motioning for him to get into bed with her. And then kissing him on the cheek. Priceless - and excellent acting all round.

I have never posted in a character thread, but I must post here. George is my favorite character on any television show on TV - maybe ever, but I can't think that hard right now. He is so freakin' cute in this kind of innocent, earnest, teddy bear way, and I totally dig his roommate relationship with Meh and Izzie - I think it's a classic kind of Three's Company deal. I love that the girls treat him like a brother and his reactions to them - "Men don't buy tampons!" - and their invasion of his space . . . but he loves them and cares about them so he puts up with all of it.
I do NOT think he should get together with Meh ever, but not because I don't like her, but because she and McDreamy are meant to be. I never even considered George and Izzie because I have been caught up in why Alex got weird on Izzie and I think that relationship has a ton of potential - Alex is deeper than people (on the show) are giving him credit for - and can't wait to see how it plays out. I think George will end up with someone we don't even know yet. Me, hopefully.

I hope George never gets with any of the lead girls. He has zero romantic chemistry with any of them, including Izzie. And I think that's how they all see him - very little-brothery. Of course that can change, and inevitably will on this TV show, but I just don't see a girl like Izzie and a guy like George ever being seriously interested in each other.

I don't think that's true. He has a lot of chemistry and comedic timing with Izzy.
