As many of you already know, Disney Canada has been nice enough this year to give us some extra copies of some of ABC’s most engrossing 2011-2012 shows on DVD and Blu-ray to share with you amazing readers. You’ve already had the opportunity to win Revenge Season One on DVD by answering “what’s your favourite serialized show?” then […]
If you go to iTunes and download the My TV Podcast Grey’s Anatomy Special, you’ll hear me and my co-host Tessa in early 2008 talking about a Grey’s Anatomy that is 4 and a half seasons old and a Private Practice still hobbling its way through its first season. There’s a point at which we […]
“First off, let me say that this is my first time being nominated for something like this. I am so flattered! I feel very blessed to be able to do what I love and get recognition for it. This is extremely exciting! Thank you so much!” -Lucy Hale Multiple My TV Award Nominee: Best Supporting […]
I recently caught up on two trashy TV shows: Private Practice and 90210. Both have me hooked so I watch every episode, despite bad writing and outrageous plotting. But while Private Practice inducing little more than eye-rolling, 90210 sometimes makes me care about its characters. So while I didn’t care about Addison’s struggles with her […]
Catching up on this season of Private Practice, an idea for a new list came to mind. You know what there are a lot of on TV? Characters who are very bad at their jobs (whether the writers meant for that to be the case or not). Sadly, on this list, only one of these […]
The conceit of a spin-off is that the new show and its predecessor exist within the same reality. For Private Practice, this means that the woman who, in our reality, is Kate Walsh is actually Addison Montgomery within the reality of Grey’s Anatomy and all its descendants. She is Addison Montgomery whether she is in […]
Anything to do with Ryan Walker. The big haired manipulative brat is possibly the worst thing to ever come out of a Berlanti show. He’s badly written, REALLY badly cast and just a general nuisance on an otherwise lovable show. Addison Montgomery’s sex life, or that of the people she works with (except maybe Cooper’s). Someone please […]
With the recent guest appearance of Amber Benson on Private Practice, the total number of Buffyverse supporting players to appear on a Shonda Rhimes show has been pushed to 6 (that I can think of). Between Grey’s Anatomy and it’s spinoff Private Practice, Shonda fans have been treated to the best of the supporting casts of Buffy the […]
Should Shonda Rhimes be Fired? Consistently, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice are among the most disappointing shows on the air. The only characters with interesting development belong to actors who are clearly pulling more than their fair weight, the stories are repetitive and uninteresting, the dialogue contrived and the sets rife with discontent. I love […]
I hate how selfish Addison is, especially considering that, during her time on Grey’s Anatomy, she was once an incredibly engaging and wonderful character. I hate that every story line involves a moral dilemma or grey area of some sort. I hate that Cooper, one of TV’s most lovable characters, is forced to exist in […]

8 classy callgirls 7 awkward hookups 6 moral dilemmas 5 immature doctors 4 preachy sermons 3 yucky sex scenes 2 911 calls and an hour of moronic TV
One of my best friends has this joke that he likes to tell about House MD. He says that you could replace all the dialogue in every episode with “unorthodox practices, unorthodox practices *sarcasm break*, unorthodox practices” and never notice the difference. Well if that’s true, Private Practice’s version would go like this: “moral grey […]
This week’s Private Practice made me kind of mad. It had so many problems I barely know where to begin. Let’s start with Addison, because that’s where the focus of the show should be. I used to love Addy, she was one of my favourite doctors at Seattle Grace and though she’s been immature much […]
My ode may prove a bit too long and some, I’m sure, will think I’m wrong, but I feel I must do my part to show how Coop has touched my heart. In Private Practice season one, Dr. Coop was lots of fun. To Violet Turner, his best friend, he’d be loyal to the end. […]
I have loved Private Practice so far this year. But this episode threw me a bit. Complaints and Grievances It was great to see Addison back in the OR. That’s where she belongs. That’s what she’s good at. Surgery and personal connections are not mutually exclusive and yet Addison is turning her back on a […]
This week’s Wednesday Night ABC premieres were all great. Here are some quick thoughts. Pushing Daisies- a lovely episode, NOT confusing like the TV Addict insisted it was, but rather adorable and a good episode to introduce new fans to the show. and the dead person of the week? Autum Reeser!!! I’ve never seen her […]
Are you in love with your best friend? you must be. Otherwise I cannot understand why you keep creating wonderful male-female friendship dynamics on your shows then destroying them with the unrequited or forbidden love factor. WHY?????? Poor Cooper. In one swift motion you’ve made me resent my favourite character and my favourite relationship on […]
She’s the best. Kate Walsh brought to life a character that was set up to be hated by an entire continent rooting for her husband to be with another woman. She turned Addison into one of the most complex and compelling characters on Grey’s and I would watch her in anything. That said, private practice […]
