Shonda Rhimes attends the 35th GLAAD Media Awards, March 14, 2024, in Beverly Hills, Calif.

"My not so tiny human started watching @greysabc for the first time yesterday," she wrote. "My brain is breaking."

"I am dead. DEAD," Rhimes continued. "But so glad she's getting to see the women her mom created. #GreysAnatomy."

"Grey's Anatomy," created by Rhimes, premiered on March 27, 2005, and is currently airing its milestone 20th season on ABC.

The series, the longest-running primetime medical drama, has given TV fans beloved female characters like Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzy Stevens (Katherine Heigl), and Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) -- and those are just the series regulars from season 1.

Someone tell Rhimes' daughter to buckle up and prepare to have her heart broken -- remember that season 5 finale? -- and put back together -- blue post-it note, anyone? -- over and over again.

"Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC, with episodes streaming on Hulu the following day.
