MY THOUGHTS

This season was awesome!  I found myself crying on quite a few occasions, as I watched some of my favorite characters going through real-life type situations.  The most powerful episodes were with Addison’s maternal situation, with Cooper’s son’s mother, and with Amelia’s difficult decision regarding her pregnancy and childbirth.  It was an awesome season and I can’t wait to watch Season Six on DVD!  A big thanks to ABC Studios for this DVD review opportunity!

    Ellie teared up a few times watching this show just like you! Although I’m not a huge fan of shows like this, I will concede that they have more substance than all those violent “shoot ’em up” stuff on tv lately.

  2. I just included “Private Practice” in m 15 Bingeworthy Shows post that I wrote earlier this week. I loved Cooper and Charlotte and it was “Scandal” that got me to give Annoying Addison, another try and I’m glad I did.
