Private Practice: Television For Women (Only)

Universal appeal. Great drama requires this. Great drama must ensnare men, women, and conflicting demographics. This ambition requires variety. This aspiration involves diversity. Sans these, everyone will not watch.

On Wednesday, I viewed ABC’s “Private Practice.” The “Grey’s Anatomy” spin off is pedestrian. Potentially, television’s initial estrogen drama. Whereas Grey’s Anatomy is jointly alluring. Private Practice is females first and only. Grey’s possesses attractive men and women, collective emotion, scorching medical scenarios. Private Practice is babies, psychiatry, and squishy feelings.

Private Practice also dulls excellent actors. Kate Walsh (Addison Montgomery) delivering amidst a hotel room. Amy Brenneman (Violet Turner) counting floor tiles. Taye Diggs (Sam Bennett) as the emasculated husband. The production was manipulative and sappy. The production was unwatchable sans ovaries.
