    It's hard to imagine reinventing the concept of the doctor show. But in a way, that's what Private Practice sets out to do in its new-look second season Wednesday--and it doesn't do a bad job.

    Rhimes (who co-wrote the premiere with Marti Noxon) weaves the dense web of life-or-death medicine and romantic whimsy well enough, and the program is so slickly written and performed it's easy to overlook the familiar patterns that are emerging; still, it would behoove both the characters and show to take a deep breath and find the key players some kind of extracurricular hobby--even if that just means lusting after strangers, perhaps, instead of co-workers.

    Practice is still terrible, and I'm still not ready to give up.

    Keep Kate Walsh...make her the PRIMARY STAR and forget everyone else. Take out the random, casual, dangerous sex..almost makes me afraid to go to the doctor's today..such irresponsibility. Have a happy marriage somewhere, not everyone with a train wreck life. Discuss REAL issues with families, bio-ethics. Good writing has to be out there SOMEWHERE. Look at all the doctor/medical shows on TV. Not one is married. All lives are fallen apart. Not a single happy marriage...makes the medical profession look like freaks. There is a hollywood agenda here to meltdown love, family and any sense of values at all. Amy Brannigan is a joke. I would never want to go to such a messed up, shallow therapist who has no idea how to love another human being. And, then the pediatrician...keep him the HELL away from my kids! He's like a dog who eats the crumbs from a dinner he wasn't invited to.… Expand
