Members JaneAusten Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 I hope not. Especially Rhimes. I am sick of her overrated *ss. But this medical show is just the kind of thing ABC would pick up because they'd think it was safe. Blech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I know primetime will never produce a serial as brilliant as Peyton Place, Knots Landing or Dallas. What I mean is that the two shows were completely[/i[ different, but the ties between both shows were strong and made sense. I'm not saying Grey's is anywhere near what Dallas was. Certainly not, lol. But I watch Private Practice and I see basically the same show. Did it have to be set in a hospital? Maybe another profession could be the focus, or even just the private lives of Addison and her LA friends with work not playing a major role. Just seems so uncreative like Dynasty II: The Colbys. Granted those two seasons were better than what Dynasty was putting out, but it was still a carbon copy. Just twenty years back when Alexis (now Sable) and Blake (now Jason) were still married and Alexis was played by a better actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Pretty much. Private Practice really is no different/better than a billionth L&O, CSI, or NCIS. KL was different from Dallas, both of the Melrose Places are different from both of the 90210s. Angel was different from Buffy, The Facts of LIfe was different from Diff'rent Strokes, Good Times was different from Maude, and so on and so on. I always figured the difference between GA and PP would be that GA was in a hospital and that PP was in a private practice, but...not so much. That worked on Marcus Welby in the 1970s because his practice was in a more suburban/rural part of town, and they'd often have episodes in the big city hospital.

Members marceline Posted January 23, 2010 Members Share Posted January 23, 2010 Are there any shows that feature poor people? Not dirt poor people but simply people that have to work for a living? All I see are doctors, lawyers and forensic whatevers. Other than Friday Night Lights, I can't think of one show where the characters ever discuss not having enough money.

Members Juliajms Posted January 23, 2010 Members Share Posted January 23, 2010 The doctor/Lawyer thing is so played out. Thank god, Deep End just tanked. Maybe that's a sign that the general audience is ready for something different. All I can say is thank god for cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OLTL_fan Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 Another Shonda Rhimes show? ABC will definitely pick this up if Off the Map hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 If anyone can figure out a way for me to want Off the Map to fail while also wanting Zach Gilford to succeed in everything his cute little self does, please let me know. Please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 LOL, don't be sad. I'll probably watch it too. I don't get the Shonda hate from some. It's kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted December 18, 2010 Members Share Posted December 18, 2010 Have him win the Emmy/Golden Globe/SAG then let the show get canned. He gets more work, Shonda Rhimes show is dead. The perfect plan, it's the execution which becomes tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted December 19, 2010 Members Share Posted December 19, 2010 Why is it everyone hates Shonda? I think she's really good. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
