What do you think? Do you think it will work? Did you like the two hour episode??

I myself am not sure what I think about it at this time. For some reason, spinoffs just don't seem to work. I really dont understand why she would risk leaving Grey's Anatomy for something that might not work. I didn't really care for her parts of that episode that were in LA (right?). I just wanted them to get back to Seattle Grace. I guess it will be different if I intentionally watch her new show....

I totally agree with you. I don't see it working, at all. Of all of the characters, Addison is probably the one I care the least about, and would be least likely to follow to another show.

I am heartbroken that it is almost over for the season.

She is not risking her job by having a new show. I have read multiple places that it says in her new contract that if the spin-off is not successful she is garunteed to be allowed back on Grey's Anatomy. Addison isn't my favorite but I am glad that they are showing more about the other characters, Merideth and Derek are getting really boring IMO. I hope they will continue showing us new details about the characters that aren't considered as important. But whatever I just love shows that give insight on minor characters.

That's good to know. I didn't like her much when she first came into the picture... I think that was the point though. I do like her character now though. Kate Walsh is such a beautiful woman. It is hard not to like her. I would do anything to get my hair that color!! I try... it just doesn't work or last long.

I don't know if this is so, but...

Paul Adelstein, Special Agent Paul Kellerman on Prison Break is supposedly on this new show. They left his *death* sort of up in the air on Prison Break and some speculate that he may return if the spin off doesn't do well. IF that is the case, I hope the spinoff goes straight down the toilet, cause I loved his character on Prison Break. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy so that's all I have to offer.

I didn't like it much either, I also just wanted to watch what happened at Seattle but they are going to keep this spinoff as a summer show. If there is nothing much else to watch, I will probably watch it to see if it gets any better, right now I'm not crazy about it. I am more interested in what George and Izzy are up too, lol.

I wished they didn't jump so much in the two hour show. It was hard to like the spin-off. I don't mind the actors/actresses on the spin-off but I think it's too soon.

And I'm quite fond of Chris Lowell.


At first I wasn't liking the sound of the spin off. And I wasn't even going to watch it. Until people kept telling me it was really good. So I ended up watching it the following day and I liked it more than i thought I would have.

I'll watch it as long as it doesn't interfere with any of my existing shows.

To me Addison is a secondary character and I don't care enough about her to watch her show

I watched the two hour episode, but I have absolutely no interest in watching the spinoff. This is just my opinion, but I thought it seemed dumb, especially the part where Addison is in the elevator and hears a "voice".

I didn't think the characters were believeable. They seemed more like charactatures than people. I'll probably watch if it doesn't conflict with something else I like though.
