Private Practice’s ratings are down big time and ABC is deciding whether or not to bring the show back for another season. Well Deadline is reporting that the network is contemplating a 13 and out 6th season to wrap things up. Just like Fox granted Fringe, The CW allowed One Tree Hill and NBC gave Chuck, but unlike those shows it doesn’t have the loyal audience they have/had. What Private Practice has is it is created by ABC’s golden child Shonda Rimes, who created Grey’s Anatomy and also has Scandal on the air which took over PP’s slot a few weeks ago, and they want to keep her happy.
I admit I watch Grey’s and PP, and sometimes I wonder why ever character on those shows hasn’t committed suicide. Seriously can she make their lives even more depressing. I mean how much sorrow can one person go through and it isn’t even their cases that is causing their misery. Like Derek’s sister losing her boyfriend to an OD when they were on a drug binge. But then she gets some good news that she is pregnant with his child, only to find out the baby doesn’t have a brain and she has to carry it to term. Seriously, Seriously? And don’t get me started on the storyline where Violet had her baby cut out of her by a psycho. Their lives are so depressing it almost makes Precious look like an upbeat movie.
