Does any one know the designer of Addison's dress from Episode 7 (the striped one)? I love it!

Crap! Addison's not going back to Seattle Grace anytime soon? This sucks!

Ahh well, I choose to look on the bright side: more Cooper (Paul Adelstein)! Even if it does mean we have to suffer through more suckiness from Violet, Naomi, Cake Boy and Mr. Arm and Hammer Bald Guy.

Ok...maybe I'm not cultured or sophisticated enough here, but I kind of like this little show. Granted it's not GA...but GA isn't like its seasons one and two anymore either so give it some room to breathe a bit. It has only been a few episodes. I find the vehicle for Addison a bit stilted at first...but isn't that sort of analogous for anyone in a new place (literally, figuratively, televisiony --ps I know that isn't a real word...down critics). You wouldn't be so awesome moving to a new place and having only one friend there. You might be cross and irritable (irritating) and might try too hard to muscle your way if that's the way you get noticed. Have we all forgotten so quickly the way she barged back into Derek's life at Seattle Grace, interrupting an interlude between he and Mer with a snarky comment about not kissing her husband?

Now, I will say this...I do not care for Naomi (the actress portraying her, not the character necessarily). Her anger and pathetic bitchiness isn't coming across as a crisis so much as a vengeance against Sam. In the GA-inserted pilot episode, she was much more reserved and needed Addison to come. When Addison arrived in the premiere, she had conveniently not told anyone about her coming or that she'd been hired. It was catty and thus out of character from the Naomi we initially met.

I'm in for the long-haul, folks.

I think the key difference from this season to last is the inclusion of DVR ratings numbers, and the week delay in reporting those numbers. A lot of shows that put up weak live ratings have been getting solid boosts from the DVR numbers. That alone probably would have saved Jericho from the Nuts campaign over the summer.

yay for Private Practice, the best new show by far this season!!!!
Im so happy for Kate Walsh, she is a great actress and deserves everything she is getting.

Plus the shjow is doing great in ratings!!

so if u don´t like it, too bad cause she is staying, she is putting her foot down Lol
yay!

Ugh. What were they thinking?

I gave up this week. I didn't watch. I read the tvs recap and comments, considered watching because viewers thought that this episode was better, but decided not to watch. I've broken up with the show.

If PP is going to stick around it better improve.

Oreo, actually, if those are the actual numbers, that is fantastic. Most shows are lucky if they drop 40% in the week after the premiere.

That is certainly encouraging news.

I'm pretty sure the other new shows aren't doing much better Oreo. Plus Pushing Daisies is doing (I think) top 20 numbers in the 18-49 group.

Pushing Daisy's Ratings have dropped 25% since it's pilot, thats terrible for only 3 episodes.

Private Practice has been garbage so far. They should recast the Naomi role again. The woman who plays her looks like she's eating sour grapes all the time.

I miss Addison on GA but the cast got too big and her character had no more road to travel there. I thought Private Practice would be better because Addison was such a strong character, but she's like a hollow shell of herself now. Oh yeah and what's with all the horn tooting "I'm a world-class surgeon" crap? It's as though she thinks she's on a higher plane of existence than the rest of the doctors at the practice. It's time to burn down the writer's room with the current writers in it and restaff. The only reason why this show got picked up for a whole season is because it's got enough star power and pretty people to light the sky and the network must feel bad for Tim Daly and Taye Diggs because they've suffered through enough canceled shows.

There are FAR better shows on like Reaper that need to be picked up instead of crap like Gossip Girl and Private Practice.
