The thing is: Think about the actors and their interest. Yes there are still some members of Grey's Anatomy that have been on since the beginning, however it takes up a lot of time and limits their opportunities to being doing other stuff. I mean took 10 years for Patrick Dempsey to miss one and now 3 episodes. And sometimes there are forces that we have no control over. Like the ABC TV people who run the whole station. If they want to do a clean sweep of all the Sunday night shows, they can and would. I am still a fan, and I enjoy the show, but I don't want to see it dragging on if things don't get better, such as viewer ratings, interest, and content. I don't want to see it crash and burn like some of my other favorite shows. Yes, but the show is only in it's fourth season, so suggesting it should end soon seems premature. And there are many examples of shows, both on ABC and other networks, of shows going for 8+ seasons, and still being fairly good. So I think you should hope for the show to keep going until the quality actually declines (which would still be subjective to you), before trying to convince people it needs to end soon.
