I just watched the premiere that I had on the DVR and oh my god...I liked it much better than Grey's. I love the actors and actresses on Private Practice and the storylines on this premiere........I was crying at the end!!

Holli, we should just start our own board....TV Shows Holli & Roxy Watch
LOL. I had too much other stuff taking up time on my DVR the other night so I watched PP online this afternoon. I'd read about how they were going to be doing more "hot issue" type story lines and multiple lines in one episode.
I'm gladd Addison is giving Hot SWAT (aka Officer Kevin) a try. He's yummy. Glad to see he's getting some work after Gilmer Girls.
OH, FYI the ABC website does and EXCELLENT episode recap in case anyone missed it AND does not want to watch it on the ABC website. I found that quite refreshing. Most networks don't update the recap after the initial airing.
I loved the first show too! I'm glad the admin guy quit..I wasn't crazy about him. I love Addison. I really missed her character on Grey's when she left.
LOL That's too funny Roxy!! I wish we lived in the same town because then we could have girl's day where we watch all of our shows. :)I enjoy this show mainly because I love Amy Brenneman (Violet) and Paul Adelstein (Cooper). I've always liked them and to have them be on a show together....PERFECT!! I almost feel as if this show mixes it up a bit more and Grey's kinda follows the same whiny dialogue with the same tired storylines. I felt it was that way last season so I'm really hoping this season is better. Private Practice is happier and brighter but also more real and emotional. Does that even make sense?? LOL
Me too Hannah!! What was up with that admin guy?? He had no storyline whatsoever........
I know, Holls it would be cool to have a TV night...DVR all our favs, ditch the fellas and each junk food!Though, I kind of liked the admin guy. He used to be on Veronica Mars which I LOVED and I liked him on that. Though I do think that his type of character is so into running an office...young, cute, surfer, MALE.
Oh, I forgot about Cooper. He made me so mad when he totally blew Violet off about vacation! Guys & their sex flings...sheesh. Do you think he really likes the other woman(can't remember her name) or is it just about the sex? Obviously, she's just in it for the sex.
I'm not sure. He seems like he likes her but it could just be a sex-haze.
I LOVE THIS SHOW! I just watched it from my DVR today...the first episode was so good! Love it. I love their story lines...and I'm so glad Addison gave the SWAT guy a chance, too!!I'm not a fan of the guy receptionist, either. but i have a feeling he's not gone for good. he just doesn't really fit on the show...
I don't like that the guy receptionist has this big crush on, oh crud whats her name? Naomi! That's it. I just don't see any chemistry.
Um, Dell "that receptionist guy" had a significant part last season. I was really surprised to see that they have him leaving this season right within the first episode.
I don't believe he's actually gone.....I think he'll be back. Don't you Becca?
I agree. It seemed to convienent for him to quit. I think in the next episode everyone is going to realize how voluable he is, just like he wants them to.
PS - Thanks for remembering his name, Becca. No one else seemed to know it. ;-)
Roxy and Holli: I have to believe that he has to come back. The place is going to fall apart without him. Plus, he was on his way to becoming a midwife, remember?I do want his crush on Naomi to be totally forgotten and never mentioned again. I love both of them, but there was no chemistry or interest on Naomi's part. I find the tenuous relationship between Sam and Naomi much more interesting, especially now that he's literally had to do a hostile takeover of the practice.
Roxy and Holli--you guys need to form an online review show ala Roeper and Ebert! :-)
Wow how fun would that be!! I would love that.....ahhhh my dream job. You've figured it out Becca ;)I believe he comes back and they hopefully move on from the "crush" storyline. Its become stale and I'm hoping they do more with his character because I really liked Del!!
LOL! I love it! Holli and Roxy; You Watch it, We'll Dish About it
Well shit Roxy...now we have a title even!
Oh gosh, I just watched this week's episode last night and thought it was so good. Can you imagine finding your supposed soul mate & being together for years only to find out it's your brother???
I felt so bad for that couple. And I cried when the father finally allowed his son to die.
I thought I saw Dell in the preview for next week so he will probably be back. I can't believe Sam slept with the receptionist!
Oh & Addison's phone message for the SWAT guy reminded me of that scene from Swingers where Jon Favreau leaves that message for the girl. I wonder if he'll talk to her again?
LOL, Holli. Seriously I choked on my yogurt concoction.Ok, I'm in the middle of watching the latest episode but I had to post just to say.... eeeewwwww.....saw it coming but eeewwwww!
Forgot to come back after I finished watching. The issue with the brother & sisters got even weirder/grosser once it came out that he knew years ago. (shivering) blah.I hope Addision didn't scare off her SWAT guy.
I really hope they do something so Violet stops coming off on the pathetic single one of the bunch. Granted I totally get why she was upset with Cooper but they always make her so patheticly dependent.
I know, I hope she'll move on from Cooper since he let the cat out of the bag on the last episode.
I thought this week's episode was a little less interesting. The swat guy's excuse of being too busy to call Addison was pretty lame. C'mon...it takes 5 seconds to call someone! I guess they had to leave us hanging.And Dell is coming back!
But it was a typical reason for a guy. I like SWAT guy. I have hopes that if they start hanging out more he'll make sure to text her when he gets hung up at work. hee heeThe story about the possible sociopath kids was kind of lame. I know that he wasn't in the end but there was nothing but mom saying he killed the dog to worry you. It needed something else to make it a possibility.
Dig Dell. Don't dig his stupid crush on Naomi. No chemistry there. Pluse seems too mommy-issues. Get him a cool girl his age.
I agree, Roxy. I hate the stupid Naomi/Dell crush thing. Wish they'd get that guy a new girl. But I'm glad he's back.I like SWAT guy. But I think they're going to want Addison with Tim Daley (can't remember his name on the show). So I don't think SWAT will be on forever... :(
This last episode wasn't the greatest...but I still keep coming back for more!!
You're probably right, Brandie but the hold out for the person at work.....we're never single or wanting each other at the same time thing is SO predictable and over done!!
i agree!! just like on Grey's with Meredith and McDreamy. gets on my NERVES!! lol. but i still watch every week!!
Holli and Roxy: I'm sorry, but I gave up on Private Practice this year. I can't give you an exact reason why.I'm still hanging on to Amazing Race, Anthony Bourdain, NCIS, House, Pushing Daisies, Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, and Life on Mars. I have a few other shows that I DVR and watch here and there (such as Jon&Kate Plus 8, 17 Kids and Counting, Bridezillas, Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?, Say Yes To The Dress, House Hunters, House Hunters International, Cash in the Attic, Bargain Hunt, and EastEnders).
And, of course, I'm waitng with bated breath for the return of Lost!!!!
Hey, Becca. I just realized you have used the same picture I was planning to use for my avitar after Halloween. Darn. Now I'll have to find a cool new picture. ;-) When I found the picture I figured SOMEBODY had to be using it already.
Oooh, Becca...I love Anthony Bourdain! He cracks me up. :) And Lost! I hate waiting too.
What do you guys think about Addison running things? I kinda like the idea.....
I think she will be good at it. I was tired of seeing Naomi & Sam fighting all of the time. Do you think Pete's new female friend will be a permanent fixture on the show? I'm not sure what to think of her yet.
Me either. I don't know about that (her being permanent...I'll snoop around and see what I find). She looks really familiar to me.......was she on ER?
I just looked her up. She's been on a lot of shows, but recently on Brothers & Sisters and Boston Legal. She even guest starred on Grey's Anatomy!
THAT'S where I've seen her!!! Brothers and Sisters!!!! Thank you for solving that for me :)
This will be fun!!!(From TVGuide.com)
"Sources tell TVGuide.com exclusively that ABC powerhouse Grey's Anatomy and its spin-off, Private Practice, will be embarking on a multi-episode crossover story come February sweeps.
Though at this very early stage the number of episodes and the sum total of actors involved has yet to be nailed down, it can at least be confirmed that Kate Walsh's Dr. Addison Montgomery will again be walking the halls of Seattle Grace, as she did for one episode last spring (several months after Private Practice made its debut).
Grey's Anatomy is currently in its fifth season on ABC. The concept for Private Practice first emerged in the form of a back-door pilot/May 2007 episode of Grey's in which Addison ventured to Los Angeles to catch up with gal pal Naomi (originally played by Alias' Merrin Dungey, but quickly recast with Audra McDonald).
Who from Seattle Grace might show their pretty face at Oceanside Wellness? When I interviewed Walsh just a few weeks ago, she cast her vote for Eric Dane's Mark Sloan, saying, "It'd be fun to have him cause some trouble!" That said, don't read too much into her quote (or the photo above) — the actual laundry list of crossing-over cast members from each show, outside of Walsh, has yet to be confirmed."
How cool! Those episodes should be interesting. I liked Private Practice this week. Addison is one tough boss so far & I think it's good for the practice. I was sad to see Naomi & Sam go their separate ways. And I thought Violet's friend just used her to get the medical docs. I was so angry at the way she treated Violet. Is Cooper's girl moving into the floor upstairs to start a business? That's what it looked like to me.
So does anyone else think that they yummied-up Dell this season? Haircut more befitting of his age, business casual clothes.....
I liked it this week too Hannah (I just watched it this morning). I was sad to see them split too but I'm glad they realized what they need. Maybe some time apart will do them good. I think that IS what is going on with the floor upstairs!!! Good call Hannah.... :)
Cooper's girlfriend, Charlotte is it?, was hired by somebody renting the upstairs floor. But what kind of business are they starting? Did Charlotte's secretiveness make anyone else suspicious?I watched it online so I did not see any previews. Any hint at what it is?
Thanks, Holli!I have no clue, Roxy. She did mention that she wanted to get out of her current career so anything goes, I guess. They didn't show anything about it on the previews. And she almost told Cooper but hesitated!
Dell is looking better lately...did they change his hair? Or maybe it's because he stopped being so clingy with Naomi?
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! I watched all of the episodes Friday night (it was my stay home and veg night!)!
This season's episodes! I may be the only one, but I like Dell. I didn't care for the idea of him and Naomi being together, I'm really enjoying the Sam/Naomi storyline.
I'm with you Cyndi! I dig Dell. And I don't like the Dell-and-Naomi thing either. She totally takes advantage of his crush
Roxy, you are right! I was so proud of Dell for brushing her off when she showed up to the hospital!
Dell has definitely grown up since last season. He was too boyish before in my opinion.
Was there PP on last night? I normally watch it on-line and when I checked the site it made reference the season finale (already?!) episode where "Dell gets his flight". But there was no new episode there to watch.
If I remember correctly, I think they said the new one would be in 2 weeks on the last preview.
