Despite The Shiteous Reviews…

Filed under: TV News > Kate Walsh

The new Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Private Practive, premiered well last night.

The show, starring Kate Walsh, was the most-watched series premiere thus far this season.

Another strong debut was NBC's Bionic Woman, which also premiered on Wednesday. That show was the night's top show among adults 18-49, the highly coveted demographic amongst advertisers.

Hopefully both shows will get better as the season progresses!

      I saw "Bionic Woman" last night. It sucked! It's basically a chick flick. And the lead girl isn't even that hot. The show will definitely get cancelled after this season.

      They are making this show WAAAAAAAY too much like Grey's Anatomy. Even the lines from the script…"I need you to be my somebody"

      Yeah, that was Cristina's and Meredith's thing… not original.

      Private Practice was good kind of slow though, and Taye Diggs was kind of corney!!

      It was ok. I would've liked it better if they kept the Naomi from the preview on Grey's. I don't like it when they switch people out.

      Bionic Woman was awesome! It's not a dumbed down, cheesy, blow shit up show for mindless jerks like Billy Bob. I only wish they would have aired the original pilot, which was even darker.

      first off never watched greys anatomy, so i would never watch the spinoff, however who the hell is kate walsh and is she more deserving than the hottie katherine heigl, who should have a show, can someone tell me what credits kate walsh has???

      34

      I really liked Bionic Woman. I've been missing some female ass kicking since Alias went of the air. My roommates and I LOVED IT!….and we are the key demographic. Also HIGHLY entertaining was Dirty Sexy Money. Both shows deserve at least 5 TiVo until making a final determination.

      PS - Can't wait for Ugly Betty tonight.

      It's just because people got all ancy for the Grey's Anatomy premiere. They ha to have something to calm them down. Hopefully it didn't calm people down enough to KILL THEMSELVES.

      I liked Private Practice. Sure it doesn't have all the Drama Greys does but that's the point. Isn't that what the character was moving away from. I think Kate Walsh did awesome job and I loved the opening with "Dont Feel like Dancing" by the Scissor Sisters. The Scence with Mother and Therapist was heartbreaking. I think it does have lots of potential. I didnt watch Bionic Woman. The original is the best that little sound effect is a classic. I also liked Dirty Sexy Money. Nothing . I mean they have a stunning Tranny. Beat that Paris Hilton.

      watched private practice last night…it was just awful. I had high hopes for the show but will not invest anymore of my precious time waiting for the show to improve…the premiere should turn people on not off. From the opening scene with Kate dancing (if that is what you call it), through the awful tile counting scene just pathetic! I kept waiting, hoping for it to get better but at the end felt as if I had been bent over. Watched Dirty, Sexy, Money for the first time and loved it! This is one show I will continue to watch.

    45. moi says – reply to this


      45

      wow. I thought it was heinous. I liked the preview last fall, but last night's show was beyond stupid. IMO. I finally just turned it off. I mean, they spent ten minutes all arguing about not having a say in her being hired. We got the point after about one minute. I won't be watching the next episode. i wish she stayed on grays anatomy.

      Private Practice was the worst spin off series I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Take that trash off the air!

    47. Jean says – reply to this


      47

      Hey Jen, #41, I sorta resent that you assume I am not a true Grey's fan if I don't like "Private Practice." It is nowhere near as good as Grey's — I watched the "pilot" last year and hesitated to watch last night because I hated it. Curiosity got the better of me, but thankfully, I won't need to devote any time to watching this horrid show.

      I believe Kate Walsh was probably smart enough to leave a path back to "Grey's" and the opening scenes did that for her character. That is where I believe I will next see her…after this show tanks. I am sad to report that I will probably be hooked on Dirty Sexy $$, though.

    48. Parker says – reply to this


      48

      You can definately tell that Private Practice and Grey's has the same writers. The dialog and chemistry seems forced between cast members- there isn't any likable qualites in any character, and the fact that they started it out with Addison in Seattle saying bye to Dr. Webber, just reminds you even more of the fact that the show is not Grey's. It didn't hold my attention- and Kate Walsh- being as beautiful as she is- seemed to be over acting in alot of her scenes. Not to impressed.

      I enjoyed both Private Practice and Dirty sexy, money. i taped Bionic women and thought i was overhyped. Sorry but the star of bionic woman is not attractive. I suspect it will fall next week, just not great.

      I thought it was like a mix of Ally McBeal and Grey's Anatomy. It was very easy to jump ahead of the script too. But I think it has potential. Hey Perez - did you see Boston Legal's premiere with Shatner and Spader checking out each other's urine flow??? Too funny!!!!

      Kate Walsh got lucky with being cast on Grey's, the great cast and writing carried her. She's a pretty, but sooo boring. I tried watching Private Practice, because Tim Daly is a great actor. Basically, the show is crap.

      Worst actress! Weirdest facial expressions, like she can't get used to her new veneers or something. The script is pretty much on the lame side too.

      it was so horrible…the reason why it was the most watched was because it was a grey's spinoff and everyone wanted to know what it would be likt…it was sooooo bad. i'm really dissapointed.

      61

      First off - loved Private Practice!!! It's my new Wednesday night show.

      Second - Adults 25-54 is the highly coveted demographic amongst advertisers (not Adults 18-49). If you worked in advertising like I do, then you'd know that.

      Isn't the BIONIC WOMAN where Isahahahahah (the stinkin bigot) Wash-his-mourth-out-with-lye-soap ended up? Well I'm sure the show SUCKED and will end up at the bottom of the toilet bowl with all the other rejected stinky turds, even if it did have viewers for the first episode.

      65

      I Tivo'd both shows and I actually liked Private Practice. I actually didn't like the Addison character prior to the preview on Grey's, and i think the show/premier did what it was supposed to. establish this new world with Addison in it. I didn't like Bionic Woman, with the whole "I'm the first bionic woman," twist that i was able to see 20 minutes into the show. I hope it gets better. But did Jamie's boyfriend die? Are they going to bring in Steve Austin?

      now your puta whore, they are advertising on your site. so like a sucia puta that you are ( like the other hilton lap dog that you are.) you are sucking NBC's ass. sell out cock sucker.

      as for all you other haters. they are on competing networks. they want this show to fail. so people will watch there show. suck it all.

      yeah all you whores can suck my ass, but not the fags. they can all suck on perez yeast infected smelly cock. ok I dont konw that it smells like that, but I can imagine.

      I love Addison. I love Kate Walsh, but that show sucked. Addison had much more chemistry with Alex. She was the best thing about Greys so you'd think that a whole show with her would be great, but it blew chunks big time. The cast despite being all great actors didn't have good chemistry, with the exception of Violet and Cooper. I want Addison back on Greys so she can fix the crap that was the finale of Alex falling in love with Jane Doe/Ava/whatever. Greys is going to suck without her. This show sucks. But Tim Daly and her have zero chemistry, which sucks even more since it's apparently who they want us to root for. Yeah the show was bad. Very bad. And I love Kate Walsh, although that is a not good photo, the woman is gorgeous.

      "Bionic Woman" was pretty awful — terrible dialogue, even worse acting. The action and effects were OK, though. Did anyone stay tuned for "Life" after "Bionic Woman"? We ended up watching it accidentally and it's pretty great — nice premise, quirky, funny, poignant.

      i watched private practice, and it's sooooo boring….so different from grey's anatomy. i feel bad for kate walsh that she had to leave grey's for this stupid show. come to think of it, why was she the first one to get her own show from the other casts? she was not the most popular character in grey….interesting.

      Love Greys, but turned off P.P. after the first 20 minutes because I went out. But I watched it on ABC.com today and actually ended up liking it as the episode progressed. I think it could be pretty good, they def. did some improving from that episode of Greys featuring it last season. I'm more pumped for the Greys premiere tonight though =) But I love Kate Walsh and think she's adorable and funny.

      Wow, was I disappointed. It just shows that an ensemble cast can make or break a format. It works with Grey's, not PP. Shonda Rimes just went with the same format - different people. What a waste of an hour.

      The show last night was very contrived and just plain stupid. The storylines were ridiculous and very predictable. The characters were very one-dimensional and it was like nobody on the show had ever acted before. The set was very cheap looking. In addition to all of that, Kate's eyes freak me out. They are very weird looking. I will not be watching again. I wish I had watched Bionic Woman instead. :-(

      96

      I tivo'd ALL the new shows last night -there were so many.
      and Private Practice was really bad. I was bummed.
      But I saw the new show "LIFE" and it was GREAT.
      I liked dirty sexy money too.
      it sucks cuz they are on the same night but i think dirty sexy money will be interesting for a few shows and then start to bug me.
      and I am still deciding if i like the bionic woman yet.
      But I loved LIFE
      that guy is great and the girls on the show are gorgeous

      I agree. LIFE was the highlight show of the night. NBC just might beat abc this year.

      Bionic Woman looked dreadful, I turned it off after five minutes. Besides, Isiah Washington joins the cast next week and that definitely makes it a no-go in my book.

      Private Practice on the other hand was pretty good. I look forward to watching it again.

      They need new writers…the lines were soooo poor and cheesy…it was embarrassing. What a fantastic ensemble cast…if the show fails it is NOT the actors…
