I have loved Private Practice so far this year. But this episode threw me a bit. Complaints and Grievances It was great to see Addison back in the OR. That’s where she belongs. That’s what she’s good at. Surgery and personal connections are not mutually exclusive and yet Addison is turning her back on a […]

 

Since I never claimed to be anything even resembling a real American, I figure a little plagiarism (from Rachael’s Movie Website) can’t possibly hurt my score on John Stewart’s quiz. And since this is hilarious and I don’t watch John Stewart regularly enough to have found it myself, I had to steal so that I […]

 

Violets are Blue I watch Valentineand so should You. I don’t care what anyone says, I love Valentine. This week’s episode was yet another delightful hour full of warm fuzzies.

In fact, it was a point of pride. Characters would often say of president Bartlett that “he likes smart people who disagree with him”, which […]

Jack & Bobby
 

Thommas Schlamme and Greg Berlanti. That’s all that really needs to be said. Jack & Bobby (the WB’s only really heartbreaking cancellation decision) was a show of epic proportions. It somehow managed to be a real political show, reflective of Thommas Schlamme’s great work on The West Wing, while also simultaneously being a heartfelt family […]
