Private Practice (2007–2013)

Simple Characters

[28 April 2008]

This show is really just completely average, which may be better than many shows on television currently, but it is not that good. All of the female characters especially are so one-dimensional. Kate Walsh is great and I like the rest of the cast, but Adison has lost all of the complexity and interest that she had in Grey's Anatomy and now is some pathetic woman who just wants a baby. All the women in this show are going through mid-life crisis' or something and are not realistic or complex at all. If this show would just get canceled Grey's Anatomy might get back to the good quality that characterized the first three seasons.

Romy and Michele: In the Beginning (2005 TV Movie)

Katherine's good, the rest sucks

[4/10 · 11 June 2006]

So this movie is really not any good, but Katherine Heigl is so good that if you like her it is worth watching. I only saw the movie on TV, but the problem is obviously the screenplay. The movie easily could have been just about Romy and Michelle moving out to California, but instead they had to have a transsexual woman and super model and all these stupid elements that just take away from the story. They once again have a dance sequence near the end of the movie, but it is not anywhere near as funny or creative as the original. They took the basic formula from the original instead of just taking the characters into a new movie. Once again Romy and Michelle get into a fight and the whole movie just plays like a crappy retelling of the original. The four out of ten is only because Katherine is so likable in the movie, just like all her other movies so don't watch it unless you really like her.

Grey's Anatomy: Deterioration of the Fight or Flight Response (2006) Season 2, Episode 26

season finale

[10/10 · 10 June 2006]

This episode is by far the best season finale of any show this season. The episode is so tragic and beautiful, everything is absolutely perfect in this episode and although everyone has major roles in this episode the story and drama center around Denny and Izzie. This is one that no one should miss. If you haven't ever watched the show you should because it is the best show on television and this episode proves it. The music adds so much to the show and the official website is awesome because it has a list of all the songs used for every episode. All the main characters are so interesting and real; As a viewer you like them all despite their flaws and personality issues. Anyone who watches a few episodes of this show will love it.
