If you know anything about football, you’ll know that when the quarterback yells “shotgun,” it buys him a few more seconds to make a decision on where to throw the ball. It gives him [...]

[ This review covers Season Three, Episode Thirteen of Private Practice, entitled Shotgun, which originally aired on Thursday, February 4, 2010 ]
Well now I can safely say that I understand how and why the impending marriage between Maya and Dink is moving so quickly. I can also safely say that I support it, and it [...]

I seriously can’t believe how quickly Maya’s wedding storyline is moving along. I’m still in shock about it. It just seems like it is coming SO FAST and I don’t believe for a second that Naomi or Sam would allow for that, so I’m really, really interested in seeing how this entire thing plays out. [...]

I’ve got to admit, I’m really quite shocked at how fast this Maya’s-getting-married storyline seems to be progressing, as we just found out that she was pregnant two weeks ago and now it appears four short episodes later, she’ll be getting married. Pregnant. At fifteen. There’s no way this can all go down without a [...]

[ This review covers Season Three, Episode Twelve of Private Practice, entitled Best Laid Plains, which originally aired on Thursday, January 21, 2010 ]
So for the first time since sometime last season, I actually got to watch Private Practice live and when it aired tonight. Which I was really, really excited about. Especially because the [...]

Here is ABC’s official press release for Season Three, Episode Thirteen of Private Practice, entitled “Shotgun,” which is airing on February 4. This episode appears to be written by the Head Writing duo of Jon Cowan and Robert Rovner.
“Shotgun” – Addison and Cooper counsel a couple who must make an unthinkable choice, to decide which [...]

It doesn’t look like things will be lightening up on Private Practice anytime soon, as the February 4 episode, Shotgun, will continue the increasing drama that Maya’s pregnancy brings to the practice. Steven Lunsford guest-stars in this episode, so be sure to check out his Twitter to see if he tweets about his guest appearance [...]

[ This review covers Season Three, Episode Eleven of Private Practice, entitled Another Second Chance, which originally aired on Thursday, January 14, 2010 ]
So there was this whole crossover thing that happened between the worlds of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. Again. And ABC promoted the hell outta it. Again. And you know what probably [...]

This is a weird topic to pick as a “top five” kind of list; it is the kind of topic that generally isn’t discussed rather than in very heated discussions between fanboys of different shows. But showrunners – the people who are at the head of the series we watch, making every and all creative [...]

ABC has offered up the official press release for the January 21 episode of Private Practice, which is entitled “Best Laid Plains.” And I’m going to take a wild guess here and guess that Maya’s announcing she’s pregnant. Or wants emancipation. Let the speculation begin. Oh, and Gilmore Girls fanatics, look out! Sookie St. James [...]

So, among the things we learned during this phenomenal double episode of Private Practice is that Addison does, in fact, have a girly middle name.  Addison Adrianne Forbes Montgomery.  How in the world did she learn to write all of that?  But, then again, this is Addison we’re talking about, the world renowned double board [...]

Are you ready for this? Do you think you can handle it? Two back-to-back episodes of Private Practice are airing on Thursday, December 3, and they are going to be huge. While Grey’s is on hiatus, and in order to catch Private up with its sister show so that the crossover episodes match up, Private [...]

The Captain is coming! The Captain is coming! Stephen Collins arrives as Addison’s father in what is sure to be an amazing episode of Private Practice, airing on November 19.

[ This review covers Season Three, Episode Five of Private Practice, entitled Strange Bedfellows, which originally aired on Thursday, October 30, 2009 ]

“Strange Bedfellows” indeed!  Wow, what an episode!  Maybe this is what I’ve been waiting for.  I tried to write something for the past two episodes and I just couldn’t get what I wanted [...]

OK, now this sounds like a fun episode. While I found the press release for “Slip Slidin’ Away” to be underwhelming (which doesn’t mean the episode will be, of course), this one has me very excited. Plus, it looks like Charlotte will be getting that job at Oceanside (no surprise there, but I’m glad nonetheless), [...]

Here’s ABC’s press release for Season Three, Episode Six of Private Practice, airing November 5. To be honest, I’m not feeling the excitement for this episode. It just sounds…odd. And I’m incredibly skeptical about this whole “Addison and a cat” thing. Like, really? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Wow, that was fast! Just the other day, I broke the news about her father coming.

And now, meet the mother.
On the heels of ‘7th Heaven‘ alum Stephen Collins being cast on ABC’s ‘Private Practice‘ as Addison’s father, JoBeth Williams has landed the guest-starring role of family matriarch “Bizzy” Forbes Montgomery.

A source tells me that Williams [...]

Now this is an episode I really really look forward to – looks like there are a lot of returns on the horizon, and I, for one, can’t wait to watch them! Oh, and I really love the idea of Charlotte working at Oceanside… Man, I really can’t wait for this episode!
“Strange Bedfellows” – Addison [...]

Great news Addie fans! We finally get to meet Addison’s father.
UPDATED with Casting Change!

ABC’s ‘Private Practice‘ (Thursdays at 10/9c) will delve a bit further into Addison’s past during November sweeps when viewers meet the good doctor’s not-so-great father. Filling the role of “the Captain,” as Mr. Montgomery is called, will be ‘7th Heaven‘ alum Stephen [...]

This is my first editorial and first post in a long time on this site. So I hope I do a good job. If not, I will try better next time.  I have personally found the third season of Private Practice pretty boring.  The only thing I have enjoyed is seeing Addison’s issues finally coming [...]
