Buzz may have already told us that Kate Walsh was getting her own show thanks to Ellen interviewing the President of ABC last week, but now Variety has confirmed the news. I have mixed feelings about Addison. At first she was the character we were supposed to hate since she was McDreamy's secret wife who turned out to be a cheater. Then like most of America, we learned to love this strong character. Yet now I am kinda over her, like I am over Meredith. Don't get me wrong, I am still a huge fan of the show even though the middle of this season sucked, it has gotten better - but based off the initial reactions to the special spin off pilot, I am not so sure I will be signing up for Private Practice no matter how much I enjoy watching Taye Diggs.

Interesting... not sure if I will watch either...
1See ya Addison. As long you don't take McSteamy with you. Bye.
2I love Addison but not sure i would watch the new show.Dont think i'd watch grey's without Addison,so guess thats me out.
3i like her better than meredith though
4I believe I am the only person on the planet that does not watch Greys.....
5That make us two Geno!
6I dont' know what to say. I really do like her character. Her and Callie are becoming good friends now. aawwww
7I think i will give a try, but if it doesnt hook me right away, im over it!
8Don't care.
9I like Addison, but I didn't like the new show. Too bad.
10Grey's jumped the shark and the only reason I watch still is so I know what people are talking about
I'm excited for something new...and if the show bombs she can always go back to Grey's...it's not like they are killing her off.
11While I'm sure it was in ABC's best interests, it was a stupid idea to combine the pilot w/a regular episode of Grey's - especially an episode with such an explosive ending when Meredith's dad went ballistic on her! It was totally jarring to go back and forth between LA (?) and Seattle.....and to lay the groundwork on characters I don't care about yet.
For me, Grey's pulled an all-time low with the February sweeps ferryboat disaster. It was too clumsy of a plot device....and OF COURSE we *all* knew that whiny Meredith wasn't just gonna kick the bucket. Now they're screwing around with the Mer/Der relationship. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!
I also wish the writers would refer to the "Intern exam" by it's REAL name - the USMLE Step 3 (United States Medical Licensing Examination - Step 3). How about a little viewer education???
12I haven't followed Grey's past the 2nd ep of season 1... but Taye Diggs in a spinoff? I'll try my best. Now *he's* McDreamy!
13whatever...
14i cant wait for the show, personally i loved the 2 hr episode and thought all the characters were good for private practice. i'll watch greys and private practice for sure in the fall
15I will watch the new show because I want it to be successful for Taye Diggs' sake. Poor dude cannot keep a tv show on the air. I actually liked Kevin Hill! I think Taye is super talented and deserves some success. I didn't mind the 2 hour episode. I didn't love it, but it kept my attention.
16In the beginning, I hated Addison's character but towards the beginning of this season I began to root for her a little bit. And I loved the motherly role that she began to fill in the show. I am not sure I will love the spinoff as much as Grey's but I will definitely tune in for the opener.
17I"ll probably give it a chance, but I get bored easily. Not sure I'm in it for the ling haul. Taye Diggs is the kiss of death for a show, so there probably won't be a long haul.
18I liked the spin-off. It was more grown-up yet very playful. While the characters still seemed unbeleivable; don't you just love Hollywood. This feels like a vehicle that I can watch at 35 years old and not feel silly.
19i agree! even though i like addison, i can't watch the show anymore because that is not how a residency is run. i know it's a fictional drama, but come on! scrubs is fictional, too, but much more true to medical life. plus, i'm irritated that they teased us with a mcsteamy romance and didn't deliver. booooo!
20awww she looks totally down to earth in these pics
21I can't wait til Thursday's episode! This spin off intro wasn't that bad but I don't know if I'll get hooked like I did with Grey's???
22I'm ready for Callie to take Izzie out to the parking lot and beat the living sh*t out of her!!
What if Izzie is pregnant??? OMG.
23HAHAHA Loren!!! That would totally suck if she was!
24It would suck. Izzie is low down and rotten. So is George. McSteamy is just one big hunk of deliciousness though
25i wish she would rethink the bangs.
26I enjoyed the 2 hr Greys introducing the spin-off. I'm looking forward to it!
27I thought the spinoff was weak. I hated the way the women drooled over that fugly receptionist. LAME.
28ugh, bad choice on the bangs, kate, bad choice.
29I was very disapointed in her pilot episode. She should stay in Seattle. No Private Practice for me.
30And the bangs are hideous.
31I hope ABC doesn't regret this decision and am going to miss having the queen of Passive Agressiva a.k.a Addison around SGH! Oh well, Good luck to her and to the show!
32Geno, I don't watch Grey's either, but the three episodes I watched, I liked her better than the protagonist..
33however, I'm over with all series
Also, Taye Diggs seems to be the kiss of death for anything he touches (other than Stella) so this should be interesting. I will not be watching it though.
34It looked interesting. Good cast. But a few too many California cliches. Is there any chance Grey will change hospitals, because she is so whiney!
35Never seen her on screen.
36I will give the spinoff a chance. I still i think I'd prefer to just keep her on Grey's though.
37i wont watch her show, but kinda glad she's gone anyway. never a fan of hers.
38I don't know if this show is gonna make it. And what is the deal with Taye Diggs. He looks like the insurance Gecko!
39I feel the same way as Pop. The show hasn't been good at all this season, but I still watch anyway for some reason. I ended up fast forwarding thru the segments from Private Practice when it was on that Grey's episode, so no, I won't be watching that show.
