My TV Musings

I’m devoting myself to comparisons lately, it seems, first Torchwood and now Private Practice.
Even though I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, I had been looking forward to this new series for some time due to the cast: Tim Daly, Taye Diggs, Amy Brenneman, Paul Adelstein, and Chris Lowell, whom I knew as Piz on the recently-cancelled […]

To dance, perchance to dream… Okay, so that’s not exactly how it goes, but isn’t life just a dance? Some have better skill at it than others but we all have to perform to an extent.
I found this to be a comforting episode where all wrongs were righted yet not without some sacrifice.

Cordelia keeps getting hang up phone calls. And she’s still seeing her handicapped patient, Arthur. She dreams of a faceless wolf in grandma’s bed while dressed in a red cape walking in the woods. Could this get any creepier?
In the meantime, Anne does a dry run as mom to daughter of one […]

Lily Taylor is a weird, fanciful woman who is strong enough to stick to her guns and not take back her husband, and he is portrayed as a flighty guy who will do what […]

Anne’s Mom (played by Cristina Rose, the evil Petrelli mom on Heroes) is planning a visit and doesn’t know that Anne and Phil have separated. Anne gets nervous about breaking the news so she invites Phil over to help. He’s still trying to work his way back into Anne’s life, but Anne isn’t […]

Anne’s day doesn’t start out too well. First, her dreams involve slime in the ice box that quickly oozes all over the kitchen floor, followed by all her colleagues ganging up on her, insisting she is not married.
When she finally wakes up she realizes she is late for an appointment and she hurries to […]
