Grey's Anatomy & Private Practice

[Buffy]

You all probably knew this topic was coming with how often I watch these shows. And yes, they have both become favourites of mine.

Grey's Anatomy
Grey's Anatomy follows the lives of surgical interns, the main character being Meredith Grey, and their journey to become surgeons. It started out with the 5 first interns; Meredith, Alex, George, Izzie and Cristina (M.A.G.I.C.) who's resident was Dr. Bailey, which at time was the toughest resident around. Since then the show and characters have developed, which now makes the main characters surgeons with their own interns. The show itself is a medical drama show, and yes, there is lots of drama. Every episode has at least one medical case where the doctors have to diagnose and treat the patients. The show is now in it's 9th season.

Private Practice
At the end of the first season of Grey's Anatomy, the character Addison Montgomery came in and she stayed for 2 seasons until her character moved from Seattle to LA and joined a practice. This show follows Addison's new life, as well as her new coworkers lives. Unlike Grey's Anatomy, which basically only includes surgeons, Private Practice has characters who are pediatricians, psychiatrists, physicians, etc.
The show aired it's final episode just this month, and lasted for 6 years.

I am personally a big fan of both. Shonda Rhimes (the creator of both shows) sure knows how to pull at your heartstrings.
So does anyone else watch it? Got any opinions?

Sorry I suck at explaining things...

I've never watched any of these but I've always wanted to watch Grey's Anatomy. I actually recorded the series a few months back but deleted it because I lost interest. I've never watched an episode of it but I do plan to. Would you reccomend it? Plus I am obsessed over 3 tv shows atm (TVD, Arrow, Revenge) and I don't exactly want to add more to the fangirling list. xD

Ahhh! Sophie, I am so sorry I missed your post!!
Been too busy watching Grey's and Private Practice, I suppose. LOL

I would definitely recommend it! It may seem intimidating at first seeing as Grey's has 9 seasons, and if you become a fan of Kate Walsh's character you'll probably want to watch the 6 seasons of Private Practice too... But it is definitely worth it. The characters are funny and heartbreaking, and not to mention gorgeous! The medical cases are interesting and it's just extremely addicting!
Also, don't be afraid of the surgery scenes. You get used to them after a while.
