Shonda Rhimes just doesn’t get it…Private Practice just isn’t a show people wanna watch, they aren’t captivated by the show or the characters.
Taking a beloved character from Grey’s for a guest spot over to PP isn’t going to make Grey’s viewers tune in to PP.
I loved Kate Walsh on Grey’s…but PP is not a very good show. Kate Walsh belongs back on the set of Grey’s.
Shonda should realize it, that or I hope ABC cancels PP so Shonda is FORCED to bring back Kate Walsh to Grey’s for good!
YAYYY. I love Dr. Bailey, and i am so excited she is visiting Private Practice. PS, Leave KH alone, i love her too.
I love Bailey and maybe she’ll bring life to Private Practice. They need her to set them straight, even if just for one episode.
Ugh, what a waste of Chandra’s talent.
Taye Diggs should move over to Grey’s Anatomy. Chandra and he were great together.
Snore. Grey’s, etc. stopped being provocative the second everyone started ignoring the show and zeroing in on the actors and their every word.
This just in: joking about long hours doesn’t make you a bad person. Everyone in this country has it better than most of the world and every one of us complains all the time. But seriously, Michael, if I wanted my entertainment news with bitchy digs against stars I’d hit Perez. Not cool.
YAY!!! I LOVED Taye & Chandra onscreen together last time, so I’m looking forward to it. PP got better last season, but I’m still not happy with that clunker of a season-ender, with Violet about to get her baby cut out of her. Not sure I’ll keep watching.
As for the comment about KH, what I personally like about KH and another actress on a totally unrelated show–Mary McCormack on In Plain Sight–both are curvaceous actresses not afraid to speak their minds and unapologetic about their opinions. I admire them both and I think they’re awesome.
The crossover from last season was just dumb. Nothing can save a show full of horrible actors, not even Chandra Wilson. Let her stay in Seattle, where at least they have decent acting skills.
By the way, why did they think that Kate Walsh could carry a show?
Oh Joy. Another lame *ss PrP-Grey’s spin off. There was never a second I thought Bailey and Addison were that great of friends and Bailey and Sam? PUH LEEZE. I know Practice STILL needs ratings, but really, Grey’s is just so much classier than these cheap gimmicks. I will actively NOT watch this crossover which is heartbreaking since I want to support Grey’s, but cannot support stupidity. Dumb dumb DUMB move Shonda!
The worst news ever if you are a fan of quality tv. The crossovers were bad last time, and to do it again? I should not be forced to watch Practice. I don’t like it, I only like Grey’s, so don’t force that horrid spin off show on me. Just let PrP dies it’s natural death and stop dragging GA into it’s nonsense. Truly a horrible idea.
Bailey may finally get some action. With Diggs around, she’ll leave that sorry ass husband behind!
For the record, PP had a much better season ending than Greys!
It’s funny how Ausiello is digging at Katherine Heigl when he loved all of her complaints during the Isaiah Washington thing. I’m not defending Katherine but I will say if you like an outspoken person you have to realize sometimes they’ll say things that you won’t enjoy hearing.
I saw Chandra Wilson in Houston doing theater before she ever made it to film and she has always done well
LOVE Chandra Wilson. She an incredibly talented actress- anywhere you put her she rises to the occasion. I love the way they have developed Bailey as a fully dimensional character- from the “Nazi” to a more compassionate, more Motherly character, a passionate and strong Black woman. Please, if you can, see Chandra in “Accidental Friendship” a tv movie-is a must for Chandra fans Oh My God!
