Post Mortem – Private Practice

privatepracticeThe Grey’s Anatomy spinoff came to an end in January after 6 seasons.  Star Kate Walsh announced that she was leaving after the 13th episode of the 6th season, and Tim Daly had already been dropped due to budget cuts, so ABC and creator Shondra Rhimes decided to give the show an abbreviated final season and call it quits after 13 episodes.  The sixth season was a bit of a departure for the show, with overlapping episodes that took place over the same longer periods of time, but episode focused on one character or set of characters.

To be honest, had this not been the final season, there was a good chance I would have cut bait and stopped watching the show altogether.  It wasn’t a bad show, but it never reached the pinnacles that it’s sire did and it had a tendency to just kind of be.  There was hardly a convincing argument to be made for why one must watch the show, nor could one be made for one why one shouldn’t.  It was just on, and, sometimes, that is good enough for six seasons.
