Summary: Great Show!
Comment: I enjoy Private Practice very much. I suggest watching it from the beginning; it is very interesting to see how these characters worked out their early encounters and situations. So, if you are looking for an enjoyable to show to stuff in your own Christmas Stocking, check this one out!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply Hilarious and Enjoyable
Comment: The first season of Private Practice has the right balance of fun and serious storylines. The characters are both funny and easy to relate to. Addison Montgomery is even better than when she was on Grey's Anatomy because she is no longer second fiddle to Derek or Meredith. It was good that they finally are using her character better. If you enjoy Grey's Anatomy then you will enjoy Private Practice.

Summary: Amazing show!
Comment: I was instantly addicted to this show when it came out on its own. When there were bits and pieces thrown into Grey's Anatomy (end of season 3) I didn't care for it. But, I love this show now and forever! I was soooo disappointed when the writer's strike interfered with the show, and then it didn't come back to finish the season!! I can't wait til season 2 starts and I find out what happens with Addison and the cop...and Addison and Pete!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Overpriced for the number of episodes
Comment: I rather like "Private Practice". It's often implausible, but that's one of the features of escapist entertainment. The cast is talented and attractive. I'm looking forward to watching the new season. But I can't give this first DVD set a good review, because it just isn't a good value.
Due to the writers' strike, Season One of "Private Practice" only had 9 episodes. A normal season is 22 shows. But this collection's list price is the same as for a full season. The producers, having taken a major financial hit by not having as much advertising revenue as expected, are trying to recoup some of their costs from us by overpricing this set. I can't condone that.
I rate this collection 3-4 stars for quality, but only 0-1 stars for value. That gives a combined rating of 2 stars: disappointing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty awful, but theres hope
Comment: The fact that they did not bother to bring the show back after the strike, and one only recently started showing reruns leading up to the season primiere tells you that there were problems. I am hopeful that Shondra can turn it around for season 2.
I'll stay away from giving away any storylines and just give my views. My biggest problem is that you have these succesful, well established. middle aged doctors running around like kids who just moved into thier first apartment. It's hard to believe Addison Sheppard can't find a guy to give her the time of day. I can tolerate and actually enjoy this type of behavior on Grays Anatomy because 1) they are younger and just out of med school it seems more believable 2) it was original when they did it.
Unless they make serious changes, this show will fail for all the reason the Apprentice 2 with Martha Stewart failed. No one wants to see a lesser version of a popular show. especially with an out of place , inferior cast.
