Yeah, that’s really weird because my spouse and I watched a few seasons of it ad-free on Netflix. I think they had something like 16 seasons available, all ad-free. It seems really odd that the company that produced it couldn’t make it also ad-free.

Grey's might have had a contract with an advertiser or other promotional partner that required them to show certain ads during the show.

Shonda Rimes owns Grey's. Take it up with her.
