Yep, a well-regarded reference resource for 150 years prior to the show's conception. I always assumed the show was named after the book(never watched the show), I wonder if the one-off spelling 'Gray/Grey' shielded the creators from copyright infringement, as revisions of the book are still being released.[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grays_anatomy
The title is a double entendre. It's a show about doctors with the lead doctor being "Meredith Grey". So it refers to both the protagonist and the book, since it's a famous book in medicine.
"pun" - wordplay with double meanings or similar sounding words
"Double entendre" - double meanings, one of which is risque or indecent
I think the only way the title would be a double entendre is if it referred to the physical anatomy of Meredith Grey, which, as a non-viewer of the show, I suppose it could...

You have never thrust a spear at a mammoth either, yet "we" did. Work on that reading comprehension. "We" is referring to something much broader.
> "We" is referring to something much broader. Yes, it's all very poetic. Can you define it though? What else did "we" do? Were "we" the nazis? Or were we the allies? Were we the indians or the europeans? Did we write "All along the Watchtower"? Did we invent the first digital computer?
Your comment-history doesn't seem to indicate a pattern of reading difficulties, so I'm going to assume you're either just trolling or way way too emotionally-invested in your original snarky reply.
Either way, that's up to you to solve on your own.

#35It's amazing that after hundreds of years of dissecting people we can still make discoveries life this. Shows how little we really know.
Well, it is actually more a matter of classification than discovery. Scientists knew it was there for a long time, just they studied the functions better and made the case that we can define it as an organ.
We still discovered that it is in fact one organ though didn't we?

"We"? I don't remember dissecting any bodies or making any discoveries in the field of anatomy. Do you?
Obviously "We" as in society / the human race.

#37For someone with no medical training, the reference to Gray's Anatomy was confusing and interesting.

It would be a trademark issue, not a copyright issue, and a mere spelling change would not be sufficient; but the title is an obvious pun and no one would ever accidentally try to use the dramatic television show to replace their usage of the reference manual, nor would they confuse in a commercial setting a review of the television show for a review of the manual, so there is no issue.
