Thumbs up Private Practice: Ep. 05 - In Which Addison Finds a Showerhead

First of all I want to say that the title of this episode is quite misleading as Addison never did find the showerhead, which is something I'd totally order on pay-per-view if it does come true in the future!

I really enjoyed the show this week and that is a turning point in the series for me. Yes, the normal Addison lusting for Peter stuff is not necessary cutting edge, but there was so much more to enjoy!

The sketches involving midwife hunk William were really funny. I am obviously not a woman, but if I was and had a kid that age that was not a doctor and not my boyfriend down there, I'd be a little apprehensive!

What was Violette thinking? Has she not learned her lesson with Allen? Cooper finally took a stand. He was well spoken and right to the point. I was like, "SNAP COOP!" - when he told her that he was done listening to her sob stories.

The entire underage sex, STD part was compelling, although a little muddled. In the end Naomi's daughter says, "I am still a kid" - i.e. Virgin. You would think that Addison would have been able to make some assessment of that from her examination being A BOARD CERTIFIED NEONATAL SURGEON - as she likes to point out!

Overall I like the way things are heading. I ended up missing the last 5 minute because the show runs over 5 minutes and that part was captured on the Dirty Sexy Money recording which I deleted after I watched it - sigh. It seems like there should have been a Cooper/Violette scene to finish things, but I am not sure?

I am not even going to start my rant about how annoying it is for networks to screw with the times. It does not change my viewing habits, it just pisses me off and makes me more vigilant in skipping commercials!

There you go...you missed the end.

Addison does find her shower head.

And yes there was a final scene with Violette and Cooper.
(don't exactly remember what that entailed though...basically they made up)

That makes me mad that I missed it! Really mad!

Screw ABC. From now on I am just going to download that show from the internet, sans commercials, so if it does maliciously runneth over, I will not miss anything.


My own personal little rebellion.

Well don't be that mad...

It was just some playful flirting with what's his face and something about him being like a cow boy....and that she'll have to remember that later when she is scratching an itch. Then they show her with a shower head. Not sure if she bought one special or it was already hers.

It's just the principle. ABC wants to run viewers from Private Practice into Dirty Sexy Money's hour to inflate ratings for that time slot. They also hope that you will stick with that channel now that you missed the first five minutes of anything else you might have wanted to watch...

I have had it!
