  These TV tie-in games weren't just terrible -- although let us stress, they ARE all terrible -- they were nothing like the shows they were based on. Can you think of any others? Shout in the comments if so, and enjoy -OX

  Having watched one season of Grey's Anatomy, a weird and incomprehensible series of mini games about just relationships and not surgery seems pretty accurate, actually.

  I mean the Grey's Anatomy crew being too distracted by their own personal lives to take care of their patients effectively seems like a pretty accurate description to me

  Liked because of Ellen's rendition of Tim Allen's "huuuuhh". Much better than it had any right to be.

  I discovered Grey's anatomy during confinement, but it seems like "it's a wonder medecine goes on because of how distracted the doctors are here" is actually perfectly getting the spirit of the series...

  &quot;Or you can earn money, counterintuitively, by ramming into cars&quot;<br>What happened to your window? I got slammed in the side and now the door doesnt open...<br><br>I wonder if those two events are somehow connected?

  I remember seeing an LP of part of the Grey&apos;s Anatomy game ages ago. One of the minigames involved pushing away distracting thoughts so you could better focus on a character&apos;s relationship drama, and one of the &quot;distracting thoughts&quot; was the patient you were supposed to be working on. So many people must die in that hospital every day...

  &quot;The beloved TV sitcom that started in 1989 and ran for ten wonderful seasons, and then for even more seasons after that.&quot; <br><br>I was incredibly embiggened by this joke.

  &quot;Hey, we&apos;re making a power rangers racing game. Should we use Power Rangers Turbo, a series about cars?&quot;<br>&quot;Nah, Zeo will be fine.&quot;

  &quot;Something&apos;s eating Derek.&quot;<br><br>Somehow I suspect that by the time you reach that stage, you&apos;re wishing it was those dinosaurs from the <i>Home Improvement</i> game 🤦‍♂️

  I thought this was supposed to be about games not like the show, but wasn’t Grey&apos;s Anatomy exactly like that game? Oh there’s a dying patient? What were you saying about your boyfriend trouble?

  Lex Luthor refers to his linear series of rings as a &apos;maze&apos;<br><br>You keep using that word<br>I do not think it means what you think it means
