PLEASE BRING IT BACK……………………… IT is awesome. IT is the best show ever so far. and I would love to see what happen to the cast thus far. PLEASE bring it back.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK………………………
I think it could easily continue!!!
Please bring it back!
I have watched this show since it started! Love it and want it back PLEASE!! I actually had a life altering change with the season of Dr. Shepherds drug addiction/abuse. Never realized until that season just how clueless I was on the pill abuse. I still remember the episode like I was yesterday…where she crushed the pills and snorted it, during her intervention with the rest of the cast. I cried and was in such shock…that this was also going on in my own house. Still brings me chills just thinking about it!
Love this show! Just discovered it and actually like it as much as Grey’s Anatomy. Please bring this back…would love to see how everything works out for Sheldon, Amelia, Addison, and the gang. I’m going through withdrawal! Please bring it back!! It is one of the few good shows out there.
Please bring it back!!!!!
I loved Private Practice & will miss it…but I’ve got an idea to let the show live on in a whole hilarious, exciting thrill ride —- have the show become focused on Cooper & Charlotte raing their son & those adorable triplets. Shonda Rhimes, you are amazing! so take these brilliant characters that you created & I’m quite sure a huge hit will emerge as you take them to an all new level!
Love the show. I’ve never missed an episode. I wish it would continue!!
the show was brilliant, the last episode, gorgeously conceived and written.
we need shows like this to blast open our hearts and keep us open.
Private Practice still has many stories to tell….even with out some of the characters…as an off shoot of Grey’s Anatomy it has developed into a great show, the characters and situations have surpassed Grey’s Anatomy. We need a new series that will off shoot into another series with some of those same characters…..”Seaside'”?
I love Private Practice, I must watch it every week I could not believe this week was the series finale. Please don’t cancel one of my favorite shows I like how it ties in with Grey’s from time to time.
