"it could be the new Frasier?"<BR/><BR/>i love you people. you're hilarious.tumadrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250095112313947032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34409349.post-19459955341255608992007-08-30T23:01:00.000-04:002007-08-30T23:01:00.000-04:00I read on TV Guide.com that the original cast of P...I read on TV Guide.com that the original cast of Private Practice wasn't Shonda's first choice. Instead, ABC went with actors already under contract (just about all of them where on other ABC shows that were ultimately cancelled). Each member of Grey's cast was hand picked by Shonda. <BR/><BR/>The decision to replace people just sounds like ABC took its nose out of the casting and finally let her regain full control of her show. <BR/><BR/>It's a completely different situation from Burkegate.P.

There's a difference between recasting a popular character after a couple seasons, and recasting someone after a pilot.Aaron Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758313190521854298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34409349.post-10430375438848933592007-08-27T09:37:00.000-04:002007-08-27T09:37:00.000-04:00You make a really good point, Justin.

I reckon that all the stuff they did when Washington made his Mistake, like making him issue apologies etc, was just to save Grey's. I mean, I don't know what goes on in the showbiz world but I feel like it wasn't one bit for the benefit of T.R Knight, but just a stunt on Rhimes' part to save her show. So, I'm not really surprised that she's managed to kick herself with her own foot with this re-casting thing. <BR/><BR/>I'd really like PP to succeed, though. If done right, it could be the new Frasier. Unlikely, seeing as Rhimes will always maintain a monopoly on her babies, but hope springs eternal haha.Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802228629511095299noreply@blogger.com
