Private Practice

Yeah, I'm easy. It only took Addison dancing nekkid to Scissor Sisters to reel me in. Scissor Sisters have that effect on me too - not so much stripped down - at least not before Leila's bedtime... but anyway...My girl crush on Addison grew to huge proportions last season, so I was hoping this spin off would be palatable and I was pleasantly surprised. I can see how some are critiquing it for being "Grey's Lite", but after last season, I think I needed a little Grey's Lite (frankly, I'm pretty worried about Grey's this season!) PP still managed to bring the angst and sexual tension, but it was fresh angst, which is a good thing. It may not have the depth of Grey's - yet - but the characters seem worth getting to know (LOVE that Dell the desk boy is learning midwifery!) and 2 out of the 3 patient stories made me cry. Like a baby. Or like the emotional mother I am. And that, again, is a good thing as far as my TV watching experience goes. Could have done w/o the old stroke victim and the epic battle for his sperm, but can appreciate that it was a necessary parallel to Sam and Naomi's unfinished business. And hey, I'd probably have no problem watching Taye Diggs and Tim Daly read the phone book for an hour, so I'll keep watching to see how this one coasts along.

I'm kind of kicking myself for not watching Dirty Sexy Money. I may still have to try to pick it up and swap it for Journeyman b/c I can only do so many shows starting at 10 a week (yes, I'm somewhat prideful that we still don't have DVR/TIVO!) Probably won't get to watch Ugly Betty until the weekend on the computer b/c I have a much needed hair appointment tonight that will get me home just in time for the girl's bedtime.
