PRIVATE PRACTICE 1x1 "In Which We Meet Addison, A Nice Girl From Somewhere Else"
I want his sperm now!
I think that coming into this fresh and not from the same place as all the disappointed "Grey's" fans allows me to perhaps evaluate this show more objectively. I did finally get to watch the two backdoor pilot episodes (which I won't separately review, as they're technically part of last season) and I enjoyed watching them actually. I don't have the preconceptions about Addison that seem to have irritated people in what I've read.
I liked this more than I thought I would, and the scene with the OCD mother actually brought tears to my eyes (bonus star for that). I'm looking forward to watching this one develop. It actually feels a lot like a David E. Kelley show with the artful blend of the serious and the silly.
These shows are delecate, nearly every soapy sort of show lately seems to have a difficult time in the second or third year, they do something to piss off the loyal hordes and the backlash. I'm glad to see Marti Noxon back on a show, I always liked her work in the Whedonverse, and we'll see how she steers this ship while Shonda Rhimes focuses on the mothership.
**** (with crying bonus star)
