'Grey's Anatomy' star Ellen Pompeo won't let her daughter watch the show for a specific reason

"I don't want my daughter to see me in my underwear on television just yet, but all her classmates have," adding with a laugh, "That makes for great conversation at pick up." 

She also said, "No judgement, on other parents" who do let their kids watch the show.

Pompeo shares three children with her husband, Chris Ivery, daughters Stella and Sienna, and son, Christopher. 

When it comes to the long-running series, Pompeo admits she doesn't get emotional watching old episodes "because I don't remember half of it."

"I'm just like, when did that happen?" she said with a laugh.

"One of the reasons why the show has impacted people so much is because we were so emotional. We were able to generate so much emotion. And that always results in amazing performances. Whether actors are torturing themselves or we're torturing each other, the result is good, and the writers know that," she said.
