I thought last night’s episode was okay.  I think it has potential to be really good - but to be honest, I wasn’t blown away. 

What do you think?

PS: Did you guys catch that Sark (Alias) was on Grey’s last night?  It was good to see him in something!  He’s hot.

What do you think of the new title??

ABC has released over 40 promotional stills over the weekend from the most talked about episode of “Grey’s Anatomy”. The stills reveal what the new spin-off series “Private Practice” (still hate the title) might look like come fall.

The episode will be entitled “The Other Side of This Life - Part 1 and 2″. It will air on Thursday, May 3 from 9:00-11:00 p.m., with the encore telecast scheduled for Friday, May 4, 8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The working title of the series is “Private Practice.”

Go here for the synopsis of the new show!

The cast of the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff starring Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs is really clicking, Diggs tells PEOPLE.

“They’re great. We have really great chemistry,” Diggs, 36, said of his castmates Thursday at the opening of the new club Runway in New York City.

The initial episode has “just finished” filming, he said, “and we’re hoping people dig it.”

ABC plans to test out the show with a “back-door pilot,” an expanded two-hour episode of Grey’s, Reuters reported in February. No air date for the episode has been set.

Diggs, who said he plays a “general practitioner” on the show, was coy when asked if he could reveal any key plot details.

“Plot what? Secrets?” he said. “I can’t tell you! It’s a secret.”

Grey’s creator Shonda Rhimes is writing the first episode, which, according to USA Today, will feature Kate Walsh’s character, Dr. Addison Shepherd, mulling an out-of-town job offer.

DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC’s press release) Grey’s Anatomy executive producer Shonda Rhimes combines the heart and soul of television’s top-rated drama with exciting new faces in a sun-drenched new location to create a drama with a very different vibe.

It’s an intimate portrait of the choices and changes we make in our search for happy lives. Following a failed attempt at reconciliation and two disastrous affairs, neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery craves a new relationship and journeys to Santa Monica to seek advice from her med school friends, Naomi and Jackson. But she finds her idealized view of their achievements – successful marriage, 14-year-old daughter and a highly successful health cooperative – doesn’t match reality.

Jackson’s success as a TV health guru pushed him to divorce Naomi and now he’s lonely. Fertility specialist Naomi wants love, but she doubts their boyish surfer/receptionist is the answer. The rest of the Oceanside Wellness Group staff has their own life issues. The sexy alternative medicine doc is a widower masking his grief with one-night stands. The gynecologist who doesn’t know a thing about women had his car stolen by this week’s Internet hookup. And the therapist doubts she’s doing any good at all.

Fortunately, together they’re a formidable medical team doing cutting-edge work. Working with them, Addison realizes that moving to Southern California and joining her friends could be the right prescription for her own life. Starring Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy), Tim Daly (Wings, The Nine), Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy), Chris Lowell (Veronica Mars), Merrin Dungey (Alias), Paul Adelstein (Prison Break), and Taye Diggs (Day Break, Kevin Hill). It’s a warm, funny, deeply affecting character drama against the backdrop of the joys and sorrows all doctors experience while practicing medicine.

I’ve found a huge Grey’s Anatomy spoiler… if you don’t like SPOILERS, then by all means DO NOT CLICK on the MORE button.

I typically don’t like spoilers (I don’t read any of the LOST spoilers online) but I had to read this one… click on MORE if you want to know! (more…)

Confirmed!! Grey’s Anatomy Spinoff Casts Grows!!

Amy Brenneman. You know her from: Judging Amy

Hector Elizondo. You know him from: Chicago Hope, The Princess Diaries.

Paul Adelstein.  You know him from: Prison Break (this is the best news I’ve heard all day! Kellerman!)

Merrin Dungey. You know her from: Alias

These fine young actors will join the already named cast that includes Kate Walsh, Taye Diggs, Chris Lowell and Tim Daly.

So this show is going to be a hit… for sure.

Sources confirm that Chris Lowell — that’s Veronica Mars‘ Piz to you — has joined the cast of the in-the-works Grey’s Anatomy spin-off (or, as the lawyers over at ABC insist we call it, “The upcoming enhanced two-hour Grey’s Anatomy episode with a potential for afterlife”) executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Mark Gordon.

Althought this is fantastic news for Lowell and his growing legion of admirers, it probably doesn’t bode well for Veronica Mars‘ renewal chances.
