Private Practice Review Summary

Last television season Seattle Grace's Dr. Addison Montgomery gave up life with Drs McDreamy and McSteamy to head to California cause she heard its the place you wanna be. So, she spun off her own Private Practice"This acclaimed Obstetrical Surgeon was trading in her high profile position and surgical scrubs to do pelvic exams and Pap smears in L.A." Does it work? Reaction is mixed. Populated with actors like Taye Briggs, Amy Brenneman, and Tim Daly, some say the new show lacks the chemistry and newness of its parent, Grey's Anatomy. Others feel, however "The chemistry between the actors and actresses is undeniably amazing.". So, its probably a matter of preference. Private Practice seems to engage in more humor and less drama than the parent series, so, if that's your bag, this spin-off might be your ticket.

I like Private Practice. However, would anyone ever truly believe that a certified Neonatal Surgeon would give up everything to go back and train a midwife. She worked very hard to get where she was. At first I thought that the show would be better and I like the show but it is definitely no Grey's Anatomy....

Last season on Grey's Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes and Kate Walsh pulled off a minor miracle.  They transformed the character of Dr. Addison Montgomery from the woman we really wanted to hate into the doctor we just loved to love.  No small feat.

They were so successful that by season's end it was a foregone...

I was a Grey's Anatomy fan until the third season when all of a sudden every character had drama going on every episode. It was too much! Izzy, Meredith, McDreamy, McSteamy, Addison, George, Callie, Yang, Burke, Alex, the list goes on and on. Then Private Practice premired. It was love at first sight.

One of my favorite characters from Grey's starting anew, in a sexy place with even sexier people. There was enough drama to keep it interesting, while the storyline had the chance to develop. The characters have a lot of depth, and have continued to grow throughout the seasons.  Naomi and Addison...

Private Practice: The Complete First Season. DVD Collection.

 

All I have to say is; AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!

This collection is great! What a wonderfully crafted show by Shonda Rhimes. I love it and if you love Grey's Anatomy, I'm sure you will too. Show stars Kate Walsh a.k.a Addison Forbes Montgomery Shephard who heads to Oceanside Wellness and leaves her scrubs behind. The show also stars the amazingly talented Amy Brennemen as Violet Turner and super sexy Taye Diggs as Sam Bennet. You will enjoy every moment of this new drama series. Crazy cases, crazy times. That's Oceanside Wellness...

Private Practice as mentioned before is always entertaining. The characters and plot twists are some of the very best available for these types of shows. The chemistry between the actors and actresses is undeniably amazing. They work so well together and always leave you wanting more! Addison, a neonatal surgeon and gynecologist is sexy and is never afraid to let the silly side show.  Pete, the man that works magic with his hands and natural remedies makes the viewers want to go to a doctor like him! Sam and Naomi truly act like they are a divorced couple still in love facing the terrors of being... review »

 I wasn't sure if I would like Private Practice or not when first  hearing about it. But after watchign the Pilot, I decided I'd give it a whirl. Boy, am I glad I did!! Private Practice is now the FIRST show I watch on my dvr on Wednesday nights! And if for some reason, I'm not home and I have to wait and watch it on Thursday night instead, I watch it before Grey's. It's become my new favorite!! The cast is unbelievable! Even those that I had never heard or seen before Private Practice shine shine shine like  they've been doing this forever!! Every episode makes me laugh and makes me cry (just... review »

 I have watched Private Practice from the beginning and have never missed an episode. I've watched the character, Addison, ever since she was on Grey's Anatomy & really liked her on that show. I was happy that they were doing a spin off of Grey's Anatomy, since I love that show I knew this one would be just as good. I love the chemestry between the characters and like Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice has alot of extraordinary medical dilemas that keep it interesting. Although they are 2 different shows, I love when the characters cross over between the two. This show will leave you hooked &...

I love this show I of course watched it because Kate Walsh is starring in it she is an amazing actress and one of my favorites. This show takes place in Los Angeles California it centers around Addison Montgomery and is a spin off of the medical drama show Grey's Anatomy. It is about drs at a practice and their lives. Everyone should watch this show it is amazing.

Private Practice is an addicting show that is pretty fun to watch. I started watching it because of Grey's Anatomny and I like it a lot better! Grey's had too much drama for me and Private Practice was a lot more fun. It's a great cast who will keep you laughing.

Private Practice is blowing Grey's out of the water!  It's fresh, it's funny, it's sexy.  The actors play their characters so well. 

Wednesday night is my favorite TV night this season.
