Preparing For “Private Practice” Pilot
After Thursday’s “Desire,” we all saw the previews for next week. It looks like quite the two-part episode brewing. Along similar lines, we happened across this ad in TV Guide for the two-hour Grey’s Anatomy special - “The Other Side of This Life (Parts I & II)” an episode that as the pilot for the long-awaited Kate Walsh-led spin-off, Private Practice…
It’s a cool ad, and appropriate that it features the cast of Grey’s Anatomy along side the new stars of Private Practice (including Taye Diggs and Tim Daly), with Addison Montgomery on the verge of a major life change.
Click here for some Private Practice promotional pictures. We’re eagerly looking forward to the pilot and to both parts of next week’s Grey’s Anatomy event. We’ll post some longer previews (as well as potential spoilers) as the big day draws nearer.
I can’t decide if I’m going to like it yet. I still feel like the origional is better and I’m not sure if I want to like these new people. Does anyone know what time and date it will air if it makes it? (like will it be after greys or something like that for example)
i think i’m in the minority but i have to say i’m actually looking forward to this show. who can pass up another quality show done by shonda, honestly? addison is only one character leaving from grey’s and really wasn’t the entire first season of grey’s absolutely the best? remember everyone when there wasn’t so many characters in the show taking up the time and things were more focused on our core people? i’m reserving my judgment until we can actually watch a couple of epis, but i’m have high hopes for another winner from shonda!
Does merrideth get smacked in that episode. WOW
I am super excited because from the previews it looks good and promising. But I feel Grey’s will be different once addison/kate is gone but it’s not like the ratings will suffer terribly. Kate will just be dearly missed.
And if Addison does go abck to SGH hopefully she’ll comeback for Mark. He just looked so sad and you can telll that he really loves her. Alex just likes her.
goodbye addison. i hope FOREVER!!
it’s very super for her
Sorry about my last comment you guys. I don’t want addison gone forever, I’ll miss her a lot and hope that she can and will comeback.
I really dont like the promo ad, that was in TC Guide it just feels really cheesy to me, maybe thats why i dislike it that much.
I dont think i’ll watch the spin off but i hope it goes good for KW!! Hopefully once some characters have gone from greys we’ll be able to get back into the more personal stories that make greys great and then the interns will have more screentime, cause intern moments are the bext…last episode proved that!
With all the publicity this is getting, it’s making me lean toward the “This is going to be GOOD!” more and more, and I’m afraid that when the 2-hour spin-off pilot thing finally does show, it won’t be as good as I expected.
As melissa m. said as well, if she does come back, hopefully it’s for Mark.
Mark was an unexpected addition to the show… somewhat, in truth. It was nice to see him around a lot, but now… he’s got no one. He’s part of the dirty mistresses club all alone. Except for Izzie. She’s all alone as well.
I think I expect this to be good for the main reason that it’s been receiving so much publicity… but, in truth, I really don’t care if it’s good or not. If it makes me laugh and I have a set time to watch it and MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK, then by all means I’ll watch the show. =) I can’t wait to See Addison being, dare I say, Bright And Shiny!
i hateee adison=]
Nicole, then shut the hell up and get lost.
Does anyone know who the actress is that played the pregnant lady with the 3 possible dads?
I like Addison and hope she comes back to SGH sometimes. I’m really upset about all the time that was spent on the pilot tho…I want my Grey’s back! Do a seperate pilot and let the new show stand on it’s own. There was entirely tooooo much “Private Practice” and not nearly enough Grey’s in this 2 hours and I for one am not happy about it. Donna
Overall… loved the crossover episode.
Favorite point:
The least-credited, most ubiquitous member of the Grey’s Anatomy cast apparently has “acting blood” in the family: who knew the SGH elevator would have such a ‘vocal’ sibling in another city?
A small point, I concede… but Shonda is a twisted woman with a twisted brain that writes all the twisted things we love… I suppose it’s a sad statement on my life, but: the consistency of the unexpected is welcome!
My thought on “too much PP in the show…”
if they had given this much time to a sidebar story for Addison, -and- it hadn’t been framed as a “test-pilot,” I don’t think any of would have minded. The negative reaction some of us might have could be this: so close to the end of “our” Grey’s season, they took precious minutes away from Seattle Grace. To me, Well Worth It.
Love Addison, Love Kate Walsh, Love it all.
Keep it coming, I say.
Who knows what could be next? Anyone out there old enough to remember the 1967 sitcom “The Mothers-In-Law?” Maybe we’ll see Diahann Carroll and Tsai Chin get -their own- spinoff! ;*)
I loved the new spin off!
I think that its cute, has a great cast, and Addison totally fits in. I love Kate Walsh as Addison and it was making me sad that I didn’t get to see her as much on Grey’s Anatomy. Addison’s character wasn’t happy and its nice to giver her a fresh start
Bring it on, I say!!
What a terrible looking show. Disfunctional L.A. doctors … ha ha ha. I’m a celebrity author MD, your a psychologist, she’s an OB, and he’s an herbalist - I know, let’s start a practice together and call it something really original … hmmm, I know, we’ll call it Oceanside Health Co-op.
Blech
I am really looking forward to this new spin off. It looks like a lot of fun and I hope that Grey’s will keep pace because I make my schedule around Grey’s since i love it so much. I am glad that Addison will get a fresh start.
OMG I THINK ITS GONNA BE AMAZING LIKE OMG I CANT WAIT
does any1 know when it starts??
