The female creators of Grey’s Anatomy and Bunheads recently started a war of words, with one saying that women in TV don’t support each other enough. Except this spat seems like an exception to women in the industry’s overarching support of one another.

ABC Family's Bunheads premiered last week to mostly warm reviews, but not everyone was a fan of the show, a brainchild of Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.
Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice and Scandal (oh, and Crossroads, the critically panned but fan-adored Britney Spears film), wasn't impressed with the show, which centers on a Vegas dancer turned ballet instructor.
Sherman-Palladino, goaded by Media Mayhem host Allison Hope Weiner, took issue with the fact that Rhimes, a fellow female showrunner, was attacking her:
"Look, I’m not going to get into a pissing match with Shonda Rhimes, because she has 15,000 shows on the air, and she’s doing just fine for herself... [But] I’ve always felt like women have never supported — just in a general sense — women have never supported women to the level that they should."
