Nitwittery aside, I was amused to see how the Private Practice bits were edited to (a) eliminate all trace of Merrin Dungey and replace her with the heretofore-unseen Audra McDonald and (b) show the naked-Addison-dancing silhouette as many times as humanly possible. I'm not sure how I feel about the new show and its prospects. Although I can't remember anyone having thought that the spinoff setup episode of GA was actually any good, I also can't think of any GA fans who don't have a real soft spot in their hearts -- and thus potentially their DVRs -- for Addison.
As for GA itself, I will be curious to see how the show deals with not one but two gaping character holes. I have to assume that when the decision was made to give Kate Walsh her own show, no one thought that Isaiah Washington was going to blow himself up and get ousted from the show at the same time. Without Addison and Burke, the medical staff at Seattle Grace is suddenly rather short on actual grownups. And the addition of the half-sister-of-Meredith-whose-residency-application-was-somehow-never-mentioned-to-her seems likely to further that trend.
p.s. Looking over the posts for the last 24 hours or so, let me just say how happy it makes me that we've got the fall tv season rolling. It was a long dry summer this year, and it's nice to have everyone back in town.
