“PRIVATE PRACTICE”
I am a huge fan of “Grey’s Anatomy”; have been from the very first episode. I love the ambiguity of the title, its dry humor and the element of drama taking place in the hospital and the private lives of the characters. It is like the improved version of “ER”…
So when I heard about the spin-off, “Private Practice” (starring Kate Walsh, Tim Daly and Taye Diggs), I wasn’t quite sure whether I was going to like it… Usually, such enterprises don’t work too well. Besides, I quite liked Addison as a part of the crew on “Grey’s Anatomy”. But then there was this one episode when the cast of the new show were introduced and I found myself laughing at their affairs. And I thought to myself: ‘perhaps I should at least give it a chance and see where it takes me’.
I did. And even though I still prefer “Grey’s Anatomy” (it may simply be loyalty to the original), I must admit that “Private Practice” is quite enjoyable. It brings in new energy, different dynamics between the characters and, most importantly, the same type of humor. And the fact that both Tim Daly (doesn’t he look better now than ever before? The man is like a good wine: better with age!) and Taye Diggs (yum!!! I do love chocolate…) are starring in the series doesn’t hurt. Quite the contrary, I’d say.
So even if you won’t find anything interesting in the show, at least you’ll have something to look at, right?

I prefer Private Practice to Greys merely because the adults actually act like adults & it’s not as OTT with the bed-hopping etc that Greys does often. And none of the characters are as annoying as Izzie or Meredeath !
