The conceit of a spin-off is that the new show and its predecessor exist within the same reality. For Private Practice, this means that the woman who, in our reality, is Kate Walsh is actually Addison Montgomery within the reality of Grey’s Anatomy and all its descendants. She is Addison Montgomery whether she is in […]
*CAUTION, SPOILERS AHEAD* Liza Weil, Zach Gilford, Debra Mooney- what more can I ask? OK, well that’s not exactly fair. As much as I adore me a little Matt Saracen, rejoice at the sight of Paris Geller back on my TV screen and smile whenever I remember Edna Harper, it takes a lot more than […]
Emma Stone– She was the saving grace of the underwhelming Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, a highlight of The House Bunny and played one of the only relatable characters in Superbad. The girl is a serious talent and she’s here to stay. Dubbed Disney- the mad editing skills of “Fantachan” make the Random Disney Crap YouTube […]

Grey’s Anatomy may not be perfect, it may not have great artistic merit or somehow inform the human experience, but I’ve lived with these […]
With the recent guest appearance of Amber Benson on Private Practice, the total number of Buffyverse supporting players to appear on a Shonda Rhimes show has been pushed to 6 (that I can think of). Between Grey’s Anatomy and it’s spinoff Private Practice, Shonda fans have been treated to the best of the supporting casts of Buffy the […]
A new Grey’s Anatomy will begin on ABC. Having finally watched last week’s installment and actually liked it for the first time in months, I’m now sitting here and sending out positive “please don’t be stupid” thoughts to the characters at Seattle Grace. Because I’d forgotten how much I like them when I like them. […]
