The Remote Island : Private Practice

Can We Talk About The "Private Practice" Season Finale?

Lindy Parker — Fri, 01 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Yes? Good, because it was crazy...

In case you're not a regular watcher of the PP, let us get you up to speed:

Addison's this close to having an affair with the husband of a patient.

Sam (played by Remote Island boyfriend Taye Diggs) and ex-wife Naomi (Audra McDonald) are divorced-but-still-in-love co-founders of the practice. Naomi recently implanted embryos for two separate women. Unfortunately, she accidently switched them and now both women are carrying each other's babies.

Dr. Violet Turner, the practice's psychiatrist, is nine months pregnant with the baby of either natural healer Pete Wilder (played by Tim Daly) or rival psychiatrist Sheldon. Sheldon, who -- let's face it -- is just not as sexy as Tim Daly, proposed to Violet last week even though he still doesn't know if the baby she's carrying is his. Violet said she had to think about it, but really, we suspect she's just waiting for Pete to make his move...

Come on! Tell us that wasn't a good time. We knew Violet would come around, which she eventually did. All was well...

Then, a mental patient -- who last week, miscarried her baby and refused to believe it had happened -- showed up at Violet's door (around 2:09)...

We swear, when we saw Megan, the patient (whose name is actually "Katie" on PP, but for some reason, we can't stop calling by her character's name on Felicity) roll out those medieval torture tools, we nearly had a heart attack. Violet tries to stall the renegade C-section by asking Katie therapy questions, which results in Katie punching pregnant Violet repeatedly in the face until her nose is broken and she's bleeding all over the floor. At one point, roommate Cooper starts to put his key in the lock (Katie stuffs a rag in Violet's mouth to keep her from calling for help), but Cooper's waylaid by a phone call and goes back to his car. When Violet realizes the inevitability Katie's horror film mission, she throws in the towel and decides to talk her through the procedure in a way that will ensure the baby's survival. Kate lifts the scapel to make the first cut, and the screen goes dark -- to be continued next season.

Our theory: Cooper comes back from the car to get something and finds Katie about to cut into Violet's pregnant stomach. She can't possibly go through with it, right?

"Gilmore Girls" Star Liza Weil Joins "Grey's Anatomy" Finale

Lindy Parker — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:00:00 GMT

We feel like with Liza Weil, best known for her work as Paris on Gilmore Girls, it's pretty much a love her or hate her situation. We fall on the side of love, and thus, couldn't be more thrilled to see her cast on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy...

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Rhimes has tapped...Gilmore Girls' Liza Weil, to guest star in the show's two-hour season finale on May 14...Weil will appear as a cancer patient who crosses paths with Izzie. (Ausiello Files)

We actually find this casting choice fitting for two reasons: First, it provides a nice Gilmore-Girls-slash-medical-drama symmetry since Rory Gilmore herself, Alexis Bledel played such a pivotal role in the ER series finale. Second, Weil's real-life husband Paul Adelstein plays Cooper on Private Practice. For those of you unfamiliar with the peculiar genius of Weil's run on Gilmore Girls, here's a little look back at one of our favorite scenes...

Friday Shades of "Grey's Anatomy": Wake Me Up Before You Kill Me

Lindy Parker — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:45:00 GMT

Are you technically a battered woman if he's asleep the whole time? We're just wondering. Time for some highs and lows...

Lindy-High: Alex's voice-over! Yes. Awesome. No more Meredith. Can Alex do it every time? Also, Alex fertilized Izzie's frozen eggs without even thinking about it. Although, weird that the Chief pressured him into it, and then acted uncomfortable when Alex actually went through with it. Additionally, Christina and Owen are rocking our world despite the strange gregorian chant music during their sex scene. The last thirty seconds where Christina confessed to being afraid to fall asleep, and Owen went straight to Derek for a brain scan? We teared up a little bit.

Olivia-High: Callie dancing. We're still unsure about the chemistry between Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw. But how much fun was Callie dancing? She's so cute and smily and pretty! Can we be friends with her? Can we watch teen movies and eat chocolate covered popcorn together? Can we text each other during Grey's episodes about how fab her hair looks and how ridiculous Lexipedia is? Please?

Lindy-Low: Meredith (MEREDITH?) going all judge-y on Christina's relationship with Owen. Girl, please. Hypocritical much? The real low is that our hatred of Meredith has grown so intensely that Derek's emotional elevator proposal failed to move us. Also, we're generally annoyed by Izzie's oncologist playing back-seat-surgeon while P.Demp was operating -- it's not okay to back-seat surge while someone's head is open.

Olivia-Low: We aggree with Remote Lindy on the back-seat surging. Unnacceptable behavior. We will pull this surgery over right now! But the real low for us is that we're pretty sure Kimberly Elise's guest potential is going to be thouroughly squandered with this heinous oncologist role. Kimberly's so good, and yet they're asking her to play a part that makes little to no sense. Would an oncologist really question the choices of a brain surgeon in the actual OR while he's poking at brain matter with sharp implements? Probably not. Would she insist on telling a patient terrible news just before a major surgery? Not unless the patient checked the Sadism box under Bedside manner when he or she was admitted to the hospital. We're pretty sure Izzie checked the coddling box. She likes to be coddled.

McDreamy Hangs Up His Scrubs For Good?

Lindy Parker — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 23:00:00 GMT

OMG, Derek wants to quit doctoring? Say it ain't so, P. Demp! Say it ain't so...

Grey's Anatomy is MIA for the next few weeks, but the ABC serial will return with a bang on March 12, when Derek decides to call it quits.
Already, of course, Dr. Shepherd is in a dark place, having made some questionable (and ultimately unsuccessful) calls in the treatment of a pregnant patient played by guest star Jennifer Westfeldt. Adding salt to that wound, he comes to discover that over his illustrious career, more patients of his died than he originally thought — prompting him to elect to hang up his stethoscope. (TV Guide)

Okay, here's the thing. We can't take this. We felt like we just got Derek back to normal after the crazy Eric Stolz debacle where McDreamy spent all his time waxing moralistic. If we're going to lose Derek, he HAS to take Meredith with him. We refuse to deal with Meredith's whining and slouching if Derek's not around to soften the blow. He can't really be leaving right? It has to be one of those personal-crisis-turned-idle-threat things that never actually materializes -- like when Chief Jim Pickens resigned as chief, but then showed up every day afterwards just like normal. Sigh. Don't scare us like that, P. Demp. We can't take it.

Friday Shades of "Grey's Anatomy": The School Of Hard Knocks

Lindy Parker — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:30:00 GMT

This week the endless Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crossover event finally dragged to an end. So little time, so much to say. Here's some highs and lows...

Lindy-High - Faye Dunaway as an aging surgeon -- the Norma Desmond of Seattle Grace. Truly, there was even a scene where Dr. Faye throws Christina out of her OR and we sware to god, we thought she was going to say, "What you're trying to say is that you don't want me to operate. Say it. Say it!" Luckily, Dr. Hunt was ready with army anecdote about knowing when it's time to quit, complete with a kind and somber look that clearly said, "Madame is the greatest star of them all."

Olivia-High - This week Dr. McHair’s has a break down, and Derrick’s dark damaged underbelly turns out to be pretty compelling. After making a mistake in the OR last week, Dr. Floppyhair is willing to lobotomize his patient Frankenstyle to save his conscious. The chief actually has to stop Derrick from sewing the lady up with a whipstitched frontal lobe. Awesome. After his patient dies, McDreams gets in a brawl with Sloan. In the hospital. On a balcony. We swear, we were sure that one of them was going to fall over and die. Oh, the drama. The episode ends with Derrick downing tequila like it’s discount YooHoo and he’s trying to get his delicious chocolaty money’s worth. Go, Dr. Shepard, Go. Find those inner demons and deal with them. Now if we could somehow surgically remove Meredith from all of those scenes . . .

Lindy-Low - Pretty much everything else. Meredith's voice over was particularly excrutiating this time: "Patients think we're gods, some call us monsters, but we're just people." Just kill us now. Also, we HATE Jessica Capshaw and her weird perkiness. Why can Callie not find someone cool, and relatively free of neuroses to match her level of awesome? We've had a thought: Callie and Addison. Right? This could be genius. Both are gorgeous, sexy, smart, stong women. They both want babies. They have pre-established chemistry. Why don't they get married and raise gorgeous, sexy, smart, strong children? Think about it Shonda Rhimes. That's all we ask.

Olivia-Low - The fact that Faye Dunaway isn’t a new regular. She is Fab. U. Lous. Fabulous dammit. And she brought it this week. To say thanks, lets have a nostalgic pic, shall we?

Is there a way that we can be her in our next life? Please?

"Men In Trees" Star James Tupper Shows Us Some "Mercy"

Lindy Parker — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:30:00 GMT

Oh Men In Trees, we hardly knew you. And what we did know, we didn't love. However, we do remember carrying a little torch for your male lead and Anne Heche's woodsy boyfriend, James Tupper. His turn on Samantha Who? only fueled the fire, and it turns out we may get another chance to explore our crush during ABC's new medical drama, Mercy...

The project, from Universal Media Studios, is a comedic drama about three nurses at Mercy Hospital bound together in friendship by the highs and lows of their personal and professional lives.

Tupper will play Dr. Chris Sands, a new doctor at Mercy Hospital who had a sizzling affair with one of the nurses while both were stationed in Iraq. (Hollywood Reporter)

Got it, so it's Grey's Anatomy, but with nurses instead of interns. We suppose we could get down with that as long as the doctors are hot, and Katherine Heigl stays far, far away. The thing is though, do we really need another hospital show clogging up the works? Shouldn't we focus on fixing the ones we have?

Friday Shades of Grey's Anatomy: God in a Box

Lindy Parker — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 18:45:00 GMT

So this week -- the actual crossover event -- lots to discuss. Here's your highs and lows...

Lindy-High: Here's the deal -- we've had a bit of an epiphany this week. We love Audra McDonald. We LOVE Taye Diggs. Kate Walsh is a goddess. Yet, in spite of all this, we kind of hate Private Practice. The plots aren't really compelling which renders the characters (even the aforementioned objects of our affection) a bit boring in context. However, this week Sam and Naomi came to Seattle Grace and a transformation occurred. Suddenly, Sam and Naomi were complex characters with interesting backstory. We love, love, love the right-there-in-front-of-you contrast between Derek's old life with Addison and his new life with Meredith -- mostly, because the colorful interest of the former casts the sad blandness of the latter into sharp relief. Solution: abandon ship on Private Practice, move Addison, Sam and Naomi back to Grey's Anatomy. Fire the interns and Izzie, give George more of the awkward humor/rally-the-troops enthusiasm that made him fun in the beginning, and we're off to the races. Right? Who's with us?

Olivia-High: Okay, so first and foremost, we are totally on board with Remote Lindy’s idea to keep all the strongest parts of the two weak shows, creating a crazy Siamese Frankenstein of a medical show. Sew it back together. It’s what’s best for all of us. Also, Derrick grew some balls this week. Not fake self-righteous bravado, real balls. He went head-to-head with Addison over a patient’s well being, and was actually right. For once. Waita Man Up, Dr. McHair. Now lets talk about the really important thing: Hair. Kate Walsh’s hair is just beyond . . . Her hair along with Taye Diggs’ gorgeousness really carried us through two hours of crossover eventus.

Lindy-Low: Izzie and her weird camp counselor zeal to put the fun back in surgical grunt work. We can't deal with glitter. We just can't. Also, is there really nothing else going on at the hospital that Cheif Jim Pickens has time to hold one side of a scotch tape finish line?

Olivia-Low: Plain and simple, we are annoyed. Lexie is annoying. Izzie and her weird dormant brain/glitter illness are annoying. Meredith and her little cheater friend Sadie? Annoying. Even Christina and Dr. Hunt annoyed us this week. Dr. Hunt’s sweet-as-pie ex-fiancé shows up out of nowhere this week, because her father is dying. We don’t understand why Hunt would break up with a woman (an annoying woman, btw) over email. And, we don’t understand why Christina accepts his “I didn’t want to hurt her” excuse. That’s annoying. It’s cowardice and it’s annoying. Remote Lindy: If we merge the shows can we get rid of Lexie, Meredith, and Hunt’s cowardice too?

The “Grey’s Anatomy”/ “Private Practice” Crossover Event Continues Tonight

Olivia Purnell — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 20:42:00 GMT

Last week Remote Lindy filled us in on the GA/PP Crossover Event, an event that amounted to a cryptic phone call. Awesome.

This week the “Event” continues, but ABC might just be bringing their A game.

Specifically? This guy:

Taye mother-effing Diggs. The previews and teasers suggest that Mr. Diggs and his white-white smile will be heavily involved in the event “Event.” Cue the applause, foot stamping, and don’t forget the wolf whistling.

ABC, we’re hoping Taye is in every scene. If we are expected to sit through an hour or two of this crossover-palooza stomaching Meredith and Derrick and their MerDerickian antics, we should at least be rewarded with Diggsian hotness.

Don’t let us down.

The Chief Has Spoken: T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl Are Done with "Grey's"

Lindy Parker — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:26:00 GMT

Obviously, there's been a lot of back-and-forth on whether or not George and Izzie are abandoning the Grey's Anatomy ship. We haven't really given much credence to all the speculation up to this point, but then Chief of Surgery, Jim Pickens spoke up and we took notice...

Co-star James Pickens Jr. confirmed to US Weekly that both actors are indeed leaving the show.
"Yes, she is," Pickens said when asked if Heigl was checking out of Seattle Grace. "Wherever Katherine goes, I wish her nothing but the best." And what about Knight? "He's going too," Pickens said. "He just wanted to pursue other career paths." (Ausiello Files)

Can we be honest? We're over them both (especially you, Heigl). At this point Izzie's plotline is insufferable, and we can't even remember the last time George had a speaking part in a scene. Sad really, because in the beginning we really loved T.R. Knight's awkward charm and rally-the-team pep talks (remember when he delivered Dr. Bailey's baby, y'all?). What it comes down is this: neither of their characters is really contributing anything valuable to the show at this point (although, in fairness, their not the only ones on that list), best to put us all out of our misery and leave us to more important things like obsessing over Dr Torres' weird '80's make up.

Idina Menzel To Join Husband Taye Diggs on "Private Practice"

Lindy Parker — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 22:30:00 GMT

After the abysmal trainwreck that was last week's episode of Private Practice (out of nowhere, everyone in the clinic is a brain specialist? WTF?), we thought nothing could re-ignite our dwindling interest in these characters. However, we underestimated the stregnth of our couple crush on Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel...

In multiple episodes, Menzel will play the mother of a patient tended to by Pete (Tim Daly). To hear one source tell it, Pete's special brand of "bedside manner" might bring about an attraction between him and Menzel's character. At this early stage, it's unclear if Menzel and her main man will share many scenes. (TV Guide)

Okay ABC, you got us. The allure of an onscreen reunion with our favorite offscreen couple is too much to resist. That said, we're not sure the same holds true for Dancing With the Stars.

Thoughts on the "Grey's Anatomy"/"Private Practice" Crossover Event

Lindy Parker — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:00:00 GMT

So we have to assume that we were slightly deceived by the ABC promos, and that by "the crossover event begins this thursday," they actually meant "begins next thursday," because otherwise whatever it was that we spent two hours of our lives on last night, it wasn't a crossover -- event or otherwise. Actually, maybe that's too harsh. We suppose there was, technically speaking, "crossover." Are you ready? Here it is...

Yes, indeed. A phone call. And actually, even that was a bit of a stretch since no character from either show actually appeared on the other, nor did we actually hear Addison's or Derek's voices on the other end of the line to legitimize this charade. Presumably, the scenes shown in the promos in which Derek and Addison are actually in the room together will make next week's episode the actual crossover, and this week's episode nothing more than a hoax.

"30 Rock" Or "Grey's Anatomy": Who Won The Hamm/Westfeldt Battle Last Night?

Jake Kalish — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 14:39:00 GMT

Jon Hamm's live-in girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt was part of the Grey's Anatomy/Private Practice crossover event last night. And Hamm, of course, was on 30 Rock. Which means from 9:30-10 p.m., the lovers, who've been together for a decade (where's the ring, Chief?) were in a head-to-head battle, on network TV! Dammit, why didn't we find this out until it was too late?

So here's what we want to know, from all of you who watched one and Tivoed the other: who won? We're not talking ratings, that's no judge. We're saying, who was better, Hamm or Westfeldt?

While you're thinking about that and readying your response, you can watch Jennifer Westfeldt's surprise lesbian kiss from the film she co-wrote and starred in (with a supporting role from Jon Hamm), Kissing Jessica Stein...

“Gossip Girl” Spinoff?

Olivia Purnell — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT

It’s coming. And here’s what the CW has to say about it:

CW’s entertainment president Dawn Ostroff told The Hollywood Reporter:

"Nothing really tangible yet, but we're talking about it," Ostroff said after her speech at the WWD Style + Media conference in Manhattan. The network is in constant contact with executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, whom Ostroff praised.

"If it's the right idea, we'd all embrace it and be enthusiastic," Ostroff said. "But nobody more than Josh and Stephanie want to make sure there's the right idea that they can wrap their arms around and really be excited about" (thr.com).

Have we learned nothing from the Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice duo? The mother show, Grey’s, was undeniably weakened by the loss of the amazing Addison. And the baby show Private Practice . . . kinda blows a little.

What if Gossip Girl is weakened after the birth of this spinoff spawn???

Blame it on the Dow

Olivia Purnell — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:00:00 GMT

Above, Brian Austin Green poses hard as Derek Reese in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a show that was recently renewed, in spite of the fact that it’s falling behind in the ratings. Knight Rider, Private Practice, and T:TSOC were all picked up this season despite fairly low viewership. We must say, people should tune into Private Practice just for a quick look at Taye Diggs.

Dig Diggs after the jump:

We watch these shows for obvious reasons (see Diggs' picture). Except Knight Rider; we can’t abide by Knight Rider . . . That talking car creeps us out, and, you know, it’s also just not good. But, we watch and write about T:TSOC with a fervor (for hilarious recappage, click here). But facts are facts, the ratings for these shows are fairly low. The Hollywood Reporter suggests that our national economic hiccup (read: meltdown) may be a factor in these unusual pickups:

The economic crisis, combined with the cost of marketing a new series, the lack of new programming inventory because of the WGA strike and the anticipated difficulty of locking down new advertiser commitments, has networks inclined to play it safe.

"From the networks' standpoint, they're loath to cancel since the cost of finding something to replace a show may not be worth it," said Shari Anne Brill, vp and director of programming at Carat. "And advertisers still prefer to be in a quality scripted series to an inexpensive reality show," she said, adding, "I'm in the camp that believes it's a mistake for an advertiser to disappear during a recession because you need the consumer awareness so sales won't grind to a halt."

Listen, we’ve got no problem continuing to follow the Connor family's adventures, or envying Kate Walsh’s perfectly styled hair on Private Practice. But, The Hollywood Reporter seems to suggest that we’re stuck with these shows instead of inventive fresh alternatives. So not only are our wallets empty, but our programming is stale. The economy strikes again. Damn you Dow Jones, damn you.

"Swingtown's Demise Means Grant Show's Going Into "Private Practice"

Bryan Christian — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:30:00 GMT

OK, so, the bad news: Swingtown is so not gonna get renewed. As we mentioned a few weeks back, CBS has already switched timeslots with it and a cop drama featuring the pink Power Ranger, which -- and we're no experts here -- never seems like a good sign. Well, it wasn't; the ratings got even crummier. Now comes word that Grant Show, the mustachioed airline pilot whose marriage brought the "swing" to, well, lots of towns (we're guessing) is joining Private Practice.

Grant Show — presumably minus the '70s 'stache — will be paying a visit to ABC's Private Practice early in the new season, playing a "charming and flirtatious" doctor with ties to one of the Oceanside Wellness regulars.

We'll forego the part where we say how unwatchable Private Practice is and how disappointed we are that Swingtown didn't live long enough to revolutionize the institution of marriage in this country like we thought it might and just say "Way to go, Grant." It's only supposde to be a one-episode apperance, but come on, isn't that how Heather Locklear wound up owning Melrose Place? And hey, did you guys read in the New York Times the other day about how Show had to pass up the Brad Pitt role in Thelma and Louise because he was stuck in a Jackie Collins miniseries? Dude, even if he wasn't kind of great (Jake, guys; Jake), that guy deserves to work until the day he dies.

Oh, and just so we've left no stone unturned: no, we're not hopeful that CBS will put out a racy, unrated version of Swingtown on DVD. We're guessing that if anybody puts out a special DVD of Swingtown, it'll be these guys.

Top 10 Ways "Grey's Anatomy" Should Kill Off Izzie

Ben Kallen — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:33:00 GMT

Actress Katherine Heigl has been such a thorn in the side of Grey's Anatomy lately -- most recently, by taking herself out of the running for an Emmy because she felt the writers hadn't given her the "material" to warrant such an honor -- that it wouldn't be surprising if the show's producers had begun plotting to get rid of her. And now, according to EOnline.com, that's exactly what creator Shonda Rhimes may be considering.

"It's not good there," the site quotes a source as saying. "Shonda is pissed. They're thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead."

Of course, it's not impossible that Heigl wants that too. Since her breakout role in Knocked Up, she's certainly ready for a film career -- although it remains to be seen whether the future will find her becoming the next Julia Roberts, or making endless sequels to 27 Dresses for the Lifetime channel.

But the really interesting question is this: If they do kill off Dr. Isobel Stevens, how should it happen? The history of TV is full of good demises -- whether falling down an elevator shaft, being crushed by a helicopter, or just disappearing without a trace, like Richie Cunningham's older brother. Naturally, we've got some suggestions. (These are free of charge, Shonda -- though we'll take a story editor credit if you have one lying around.)

1. The guy who lost out on his heart transplant when she stole one for her boyfriend Denny comes back with a scalpel, chanting "An eye for an eye."

2. She jumps out of a moving car to keep from hearing Meredith whine about McDreamy one more time.

3. She has a threesome with Callie and Erica Hahn, then expires from exhaustion.

4. She's George's first victim after stress and failure inevitably turn him into an axe murderer.

5. She takes an accidental drug overdose and has no idea what to do about it, because while dealing with all her personal issues she completely forgot to study medicine.

6. The same thing happens to her as happened to Dr. Greene on E.R. (By the way, what did happen to Dr. Greene on E.R.? For that matter, what ever happened to Anthony Edwards?)

7. She gets a dramatic, drawn-out three-episode death scene like Jimmy Smits on NYPD Blue, then really regrets offending the Emmy people.

8. She's karate-chopped in half by Isaiah Washington, who's still in character from The Bionic Woman.

9. She catches the flu while visiting Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey, where House tries to cure her by inducing complete organ failure.

10. She's sent off to that Santa Monica clinic from Private Practice. (Okay, that might be a fate worse than death.)

Can you give Izzie a better sendoff? Let us know.

Foxy "Private Practice" Star Kate Walsh Was On Jimmy Kimmel Last Week. In A Towel.

We've been crushing on former Grey's Anatomy sexpot Kate Walsh ever since we realized that she was that gal that replaced Christa Miller on Drew Carey. Yeah! We know! Same gal. Only way glam!

And now, here she is in a towel. Talking about how she's kind of getting bored in her new marriage.

Um... Is there an emoticon for "call us"?

BONUS VIDEO: Click through for a look back at Kate when she was on Drew Carey. It's pretty astonishing how different she looks.
