    I had great hopes for PP and I have to admit that i was a little bit disappointed (too much for one episode....) But just give them a chance.

    Pretty thin and transparent with a overdone twist of smarminess tossed in.

    If you love "Grey's Anatomy" you'll probably like this show. Frankly I think it's McStinky.

    As much as I don't mind this show I'm really hoping it'll tank and Kate Walsh will go back to Grey's. Really this is the optimum solution. Then, one show will completely heal over (pun completely intended) and I'll have at least one good show to watch again.

  1. The talented cast isn't quite as successful in getting past the shortcomings of a teleplay (from Rhimes, naturally) that's typically light on believability and heavy on the outrageous.

    This lightweight medical drama still needs serious script surgery.

    Ultimately, asking if Private Practice is good is like asking if a Twinkie is good. The answer is "No" and "Of course!" and, also, "Give me another one."
