My TV Question of the Day
  Kelly Bedard

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 […]

How Do I Loathe Private Practice, Let Me Count the Ways

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 […]

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 to Dr. Cooper Freedman
  Kelly Bedard

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.
